Hey Blaine, I know you have a real life to tend to as well, so just wondering what your estimated time of completion for 3.8 will be. Not trying to rush you, just trying to form a game plane for my site.

[Blaine0002]

It works ok, but has problems, I posted about 2 pages back.

Blain i read countless pages and think you are so awesome for doing what your doing here!!!

I have one question i could not find an answer to, (so many pages)

When i create the usergroup "Sellers" and approve the "Sellers" usergroup to post auctions

it still wont let that group sell, it says "Sorry, you need to be a seller to be able to sell anything! Click HERE to request a sellers account. Thank you." but i have already put my "test" account in the usergroup.........

I have vBulletin 3.8

and VBay 1.1.9

*EDIT* where it says "Usergroups allowed to post auctions. seperate by commas, IE (4,5,2,7)" i just type in the name of the usergroup right?

[dizzynation]

Fixed, it needed to be numbers not the title "Sellers usergroup" LOL

Having issues uploading pictures, any quick fix? Or is this a big problem

**EDIT** Ok so pics have to be very small size to upload, this will be tough for public sellers not knowing how to downsize
and when i deleted some auctions, the auction number to show how many auctions there were goes into the negative, this is a problem because in one category it has -3, now there has to be 3 auctions added to go back to 0.

Just some things ive noticed, i am running vb 3.8.7
