You need to put yourself into that usergroup
BTW if anyone wants to donate pm me with an ammount and email addy and ill send you an invoice

True, but what if another person wants to be part of the usergroup that isnt an admin? Do I have to add them or what?

[Blaine0002]

vbay does not handle the usergroups, i left that for administrators to decide, maybe try letting people request membership?

I am seriously interested in this, Blaine. Heck, I'd donate if there were a stable version. I was thinking about using phpAuction for my site, but since this is just another mod for vBulletin it's much more attractive. One less peice of software I have to install and worry about how it works!

I'm looking forward to a working version, hopefully sometime this year...right?

[Blaine0002]

Yeah, im planning on resuming work on this now that the holidays are over.

Blaine, see this here for more ideas:

I think implementing all of those options into this would help you out quite a bit too on expanding to the feedback end of things you know what I mean?

[Blaine0002]

Thanks blog, i will actually be integrating this with itrader built in, it will probably be paid though :P
