More picture magic.... If you haven't noticed, I just did a major revamp on 'My Pictures'. First off, there's a new button called 'Upload Pictures - New' in 'My Pictures'. If you click on it and you're using IE, you'll be prompted to install an ActiveX control from a company called Aurigma. After the control is installed, you'll be able to see the new toy that will change how you upload pictures forever. Basically, this tool resizes the picture BEFORE the upload, making the new upload time about a tenth as long as the old upload time. Also, we now add a small watermark to the bottom left corner of the picture - you'll see. Plus, the interface for selecting picture is about ten times easier, and looks like Windows Explorer. I've currently limited upload to 10 pictures at a time for testing. But if works smoothly, I'll increase the limit from there. Also, in 'My Pictures', you'll notice the ability to 'Bulk Delete' pictures. Happiness and joy, I'm sure.... I'm also going to change how you add pictures to an auction. You'll be able to select your auction to add pictures to, then select as many pictures at once to be added. Much faster, but I'll let you know when that's done.
Let me know how it goes..... |

I've added a way to Bulk Add pictures to your auction. Now, you can select an auction, select multiple pictures, and have them addded to that auction with a few clicks. I'll be adding a way to create a thumnail through 'My Pictures' shortly. Let me know what you think.... -manny |

Small update. We were able to streamline the upload process even further. I just ran a test and here were the results... I selected 200mb of pictures. That's a total of 80 files in this case. With a grand total of two clicks, the new tool preprocessed them on my local pc - reducing them in size to about 6mb, resized them and added a water mark, then uploaded them to Auction Arms in 4min 45 sec. That's smokin!!!!!
Hope you like it, 'cuz I think I'm in love.... |

| (no avatar) | I don't have any problems with the upload, It's when I'm viewing another auction, and some down loads fast and some takes forever, when I get a real slow one I usually go to another one auction. Will this system change when you download to view an auction? because if it doesen't you are defeating the purpose of adding more pictures 460 |

With some auctions, we can't control how a seller formats the picture. If the seller is having the picture hosted at another site, we can't change how big the picture is, and how long it takes to download.
If the seller uploads his pictures to Auction Arms, we automatically resize the picture and shrink the file size to make the viewing experience consistently quick.
