Hey Blaine....

If you add nothing else could you include a way to store images in the filesystem please? I hate the fact that the images live in the database and this rules this mod out for me. When you have hundreds of items all using a few images each then you will be cringing at the size of your database. File system space is far cheaper than database space generally and I personally think the file system is the most correct place to store files and images.

Just my $.02

Hi Blaine,

Noticed the other day that you say you are working on a new version. Will this be 3.7 compatable? Would love to add it to the latest VB.

Also, i dont know if this already exists, but how about the option where you can have an unlimited time posted. Therefore this would mean that people can use it as a "classifieds" site and advertise something as a buy it now without a time limit to the auction...

Thanks
Paul

yes, is it vbulletin 3.7.0 compatable? we really need to add it to the lastest VB.

Good Job. Thank for your working!

^ ditto would love to be able to use it on 3.7.0

seems to work perfectly on my 3.7.0. The "add Vbay to your nav bar" seems to screw up on a couple of the styles i have, however to be honest thats to be expected, but on the important bit, like "does it work" is definately a yes

I know, Being an IT person myself it's a silly question, and possibly unanswerable, however Blaine - any ideas when the new version is timetabled for release at all?
