Thread Title: "What do you think?"
AuctionArmsCeo What do you think of the Auction Arms forums? We thought about this question for a long time before coming to the conclusion that we needed to write our own forum in-house. The problem is that integrating someone else's discussion software was just as complicated as writing it from scratch - and we had a few requirements that absolutely had to be met before we would have something like a forum at Auction Arms.

(no avatar) I find the feature that causes the auction line your mouse hovers over to suddenly change color to be very distracting. It actually slows down my ability to quickly scroll results on a page, because the "highlighting" of the lines as they pass under my mouse is simply distracting. You should seriously consider dropping this feature, it adds nothing to the experience and is disquieting at best. It's like trying to read a book with a flashing light somewhere on the page. It would also be nice to have a small photo preview with the listings, such as is done on eBay. Not necessary, but nice... since written descriptions aren't always very informative. Thanks for listening, Jim Peden vtgunguy Shoreham, Vermont

(no avatar) This auction is to hard to get a search mode, and I have yet to find out how to bid on an item, this is a test post for sure

AA-bob The search link is at the top of each page. To bid, you must first register.

(no avatar) Don't like this new photo system at all. When I go to an add I'm interested in and a photo is indicated, I want to see the picture. I think this new process of having to bring up each and evey photo individuallyis far too time consuming waiting for each photo to be downlaoded...... Go back to the old way where the picture is part of the add automatically!

Al1916. Thanks for the question/suggestion. Actually, you are in charge of how you display pictures. We took the Burger King approach on this so you can have it "your way".

Just make sure you are logged in and then click show pictures in an auction. That will reset you to the "old way" and if you later want to go with individual pictures click "Hide Pictures" in an auction.

(no avatar) Where do you find the "show pictures in an auction" button? I've looked for it but can't seem to find it.

First, open any auction that contains pictures, the "Show/Hide" pictures "Button" is not really a button per se, but an Underlined Bold HTML linked word that appears right below the Auction description. Click on it to toggle the feature on/off.
