Ok, I ran the query on the db to allow increments of a dollar and it still gives me the 'fill all fields' message unless I input whole dollar amounts when I'm listing the auction.

What's the fix?

[Blaine0002]

you shouldnt need to run a db query to allow increments >_>

[DieselMinded]

My users also try .50 for the bid increments and i have to tell them its atleast a dollar Can you make A Dollar default and put a must be atleast $1 , I like the way you have it i dont want 50,000 bids of 25 cents ect......

If you do update this as a whole please say what will need done to upgrade from the current version ,

Thanks for all your efforts in this

Well, unless I input full dollar amounts when I'm listing the auction, it tells me to 'make sure I've filled out all fields'.

If in input whole numbers, it works fine, but I can only bid in increments of one dollar.

Also when Deleting an aution i get this message

Could not find phrase 'vbay_auction_deleted'.

Even tho it does delete it

[Blaine0002]

The Vbulletin WYSiWYG automaticly strips whitespace, and since vbay is using the vbulletin wysiwyg it will also be stripped of whitespace. I can check and see if this can be changed but no promises.

[DieselMinded]

Thank You!

BTW I added the site supporters User Group ID To the allowed group and only allow reg users to Bid not sell , I also went through all user groups Above the Site Supporters and added Site Supporters as an additional User Group and it worked Great !
