Actually the site seems to have been down for several hours today. Can anyone else get on?

Thanks Doug.

Doug, might this have affected invoicing? I'm trying to raise an invoice for an item just sold but keep getting, "There are no uninvoiced sold items for this user.", even though no invoice has previously been sent and no payment made.

In any event ......

what were we talking about anyway?

I can't remember. An adult beverage may help me remember, or we could talk about adult beverages instead.

megnelwil: Jason also reported this problem as well... but previously to the system restore like a week ago... so far those are the only 2 reports with invoicing problems... others have been fine...

but since that's 2 out of 20 .... I need to contact the devs and see if I can have them check it out

So I need the auction numbers for both Jason's and yours to check

Doug, the problem with double entries in items sold is intermittent. The system is now showing just one entry, unless you removed one.

You have to be real careful on the auctions...

For instance, if you send an invoice, but decide to delete it since you'd rather send one form PayPal since you can't discount invoices on the site... well, you delete the entire auction from your list and thus can't leave feedback... you also lose all "messages" back and forth on the item...

I complained about all of this, as it is how it was designed, but they are looking to change it since I haven't been the only one to complain...

As far as the double entry... well, they sent me a file to fix it.. problem is, since I have some mods installed (ie: edited PHP files) .. I can't just overwrite the file with the one they sent... so I tried to compare the 2 and add what I found that was missing ... well, I was able to do so on one of the two files... but not the other since it was grossly different and was missing previous changes they had sent me before...

They asked me to send my file and they fix it, but I never heard back.. so I'll get back with them.... but they were able to duplicate the the duplicate sale thing so they were able to fix it (at least a stock install would be fixed)

There was an addon for that option which I chose not to buy ... so don't be lazy

Doug, on the category listing pages might it not be better to remove the advanced search panel, go with basic search and a link to advanced search instead so the listings appear further up the page? Currently you have to scroll down all the time to see the listings. A minor thing but eBay users might feel more at home.
