Version 5.0.3 uses a thrid party Ajax Library from Guru Sistemas Ltd. This is a commercial library that I bought.

I'll appreciate your understanding on the fact that this is a Free product, so don't expect superior level support, but I'll try my best with the help of Bug Tracker.
Also note that even if you can suggest new features, these features will be include in the upcoming CMPS style version which will be Commercial. No plans exist for adding new features in the Free version. Just bug fixes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW VERSION 6.6.0
There are many new features to this version to list them now. Spend sometime to explore the new mod and you'll find them. The only that I want to mention is that the SEO rules that I've, are normal rules and not vbSeo rules.
How to upgrade:
Download the latest version 6.6.0. Please be aware that the regional restriction on use (Scandinavia) is still valid.
Upload *** ALL *** the files in your forum directory.
Import the product-microclassifieds.xml from your admincp, choosing overwrite.
Walk throught the General settinsg and usergroup permissions, as there are many new settings.
Thank you

1.- How it works
A user posts an Ad. If the user hasn't post a profile before, the system auto creates one for him, populating it with any data there are in his forum profile.
Members who are searching or browsing ads can see his ad. According the adtype (For-sale, Wanted, Auction), they can Buy it or Bid on it. The ad becomes invisible to public.
System PMs seller about the sale. Seller can accept or decline the sale. In case of accept the ad is marking as pending payment. If seller declines the sale, the ad is activating again.
When the payment is done, seller marks it as paid, the ad is removing from the server (with all related photos and attachments), and some data remain for history only.
System PMs buyer that the sale has been finalized, and prompts him to rate and review the seller.
In a time frame that admin has setup, seller and buyer can review each other. During this period reviews are hidden. When the time frame expires, the reviews become visible. Also with the help of a cron job, there is a check which activates reviews, even before the expiration, if both parties have post the review.

OK, I have done this and yes, I can now change the number of days. However, there is a bug.
I have three categories; "For Sale", "Wanted" or "Auction" for which I have selected 365, 365 and 30 days respectively.
However, no matter which of the three I select from the drop down menu from the navbar, I get "For Sale" in the form that appears (it does however show the correct number of days). So, if I select "Wanted" and then try to change it to "Auction" in the drop down menu on the posting form, it remains at 365 days, it does not go to 30 days.
"For Sale", "Wanted", "Auctions" are build-in categories. You can't use categories with these names and expect to find the settings of the build-in categories in your categories.
It is what it is. Or is there info somewhere on each version upgrade(current upgrade info stops at version 4.9.5a)? Also can certain files be upgraded between versions instead of reloading the entire mod? If not, is there a benefit to reloading the entire mod?

There are lot of changes in many files. So instead to give a list of 10 files to upload, I prefer to say "Upload all files". What's the problem on it? You need more time to find 10 files in 10 different directories, than to upload the entire package. eg on the previous versions there were changes on each css file of datagrid. What I had to say? Upload:

You can't resolve this problem as there is not problem. You're trying to do something that the program is not supporting. Similar to ask the program to prepare a cup of coffee.
If you still count it as a problem, just uninstall it.
not sure if it has been mentioned or getting worked on but on the 2nd page of submitting a thumbnail the thumbnail cropper does not work, in fact no images are displaying with the ads, i've even uploaded 60X60 images and still nothing.
