What do you want me to do/check next?

No problem, friend. I do understand and also try to read as many pages of posts as possible before asking for help. But I remember when I first started (not that long ago, 4-5 months), I was pretty overwhelmed as it was all new to me, and even the previous posts weren't comprehensible the way they are to me today, yk? I'm grateful for the people who took the time to help explain things...I couldn't have learned otherwise.

How do we add trader reputation?

I absolutely love this mod by the way!

[m2006]

Thanks you verymuch good mod

awesome hack, but i got some questions ^^

When an auction is declined as auction+buy now - and sb. hits buy now, where can the seller see that his article was bought??? there is no PN or sth like that, the seller would never realize what happened to his auction.

listed in "closed austions" aou cannot see that is was bought by clicking "buy now" - you just see that the auction was ended...

Followed directions to the "tee". I'm using 3.6.8 PL2 vBulletin version.

Almost from the start, there were problems with text parsing. There also needs to be more editing capabilities. When and if the kinks are out...it may become a good addition.

Needless to say, "clicks uninstalled"...

[Blaine0002]

Thanks for your input but can you be more specific?

What you said dosent help me at all.

[Saviour]

Sorry about that...

To be more specific, the installation was flawless...until it came time to sell my first item. As I was entering text to describe the item...the font color wasn't working. When I finished entering text and went to view the item, most of the description I just got finished typing was gone. I went to edit the text, and afterwards...all showed up, but there was a BBCode parsing problem. It would show [i] and the text was italicized in the description.

Another problem with this mod...is that the only thing that can be edited is the text description...what's up with that? What if I need to add another image? Change shipping costs?

I also setup the new usergroup as a public joinable group, but when I tried adding a test user, and went through the process of joining the group through vBay...I was told after clicking the Join Group button, that the group doesn't appear to be a public group...when, in fact, it is.

So...needless to say, you still have a few kinks to iron out there. Then again, it could be the mods I already have installed conflicting with this new one...who knows...

I'm just not ready to give up what I already have installed for a vBay mod.

Thanks for the feedback, im not sure exactly what is causing the bbcode thing you mentioned, it might go along with the drop down menu bug and the description being cut off (which only happen in IE btw)

As for the lack of options and features, this still is a beta product and im still working on adding new things!
