It actually works fine on vb3.8.x, i had to do a very minor change (can't remember what it was right now) but it worked right off the bat
My programmer is worried about security issues with this script. Any noted? Can you provide a link to your site so I can look over your implementation?
I now have this installed but it seems to be creating more questions regarding ease of use.
Why can't we put in figures with decimal points?
How can we incorporate auctions into threads?
Can we create a banner highlighting random auctions?
Can auctions be ended by the lister?
Theres no option for more than one of the same item. (multiple copies)
This is a great idea but it needs to work. We're using Geodesic Solutions which does the same thing and does work. Rather than writing a mod for this it might be less work and more reliable to come up with an updated and effective bridge.
PS: If there really was a reliable plugin/addon for vB4.2.0 then I think that would be just great, and full marks to Blaine for trying to develop one, but given the complexities of running/designing such a thing I can't see that happening any time soon.
