If I missed the info elsewhere I apologize but I did try search and all I could find is that it was coming out soon and that was quite a while ago now.

ETA:


Hi, there may be an easier way (I'm still learning this stuff) but I found it this way:
Languages & phrases > Search phrases > Search for: vbay_main
FWIW I checked "Phrase Text and Phrase Variable Name".. you can edit the words to what you want from there.

What do I say on the main page? What does the trader rep mean ? do I need to install itrader? thansk!1

Probably not, since the last update was a year ago...

One more requested feature: D

How about the ability to assing a maximum number of auctions allowed at a single time on a per-usergroup basis?

There really hasn't been much said about this mod working with later versions of vbulletin... anyone using it with the 3.8.x series? Can I get a confirm on it working or not working? Thanks!

I use it on 3.8.4, and without trouble.

The coder expressed he does not have money to upgrade to VB4, so he most likely will not be porting the mod. Version 2.0 is due to be released soon, though.
