GUILD WARS AUCTIONS SITE - Testers Needed! (please read)

It's possible to write the words "fag" and "porn" in the description.
I'm not sure if that's supposed to be possible, cuz I'm not native
English, but I thought just to put it here to be sure .

And
about the adding a photo thing... maybe you are so fast that it's
already changed... but now when I put up a photo with browse I can't
add more photo's I immediately go to the listing approval page without
the possibillity to add more photo's first. I'm not sure if it's
me...but I think I'm not doing anything different then before.

I have added those words, and the others you PM'd me, to the badwords filter. Thanks for that.

I just tried the photo upload thing and it lets people add 4 pictures no problems. I think you are clicking on upload images too soon. You need to browse to find each of your images first THEN hit upload images, not one at a time.

bunny i receved the first email but non of the others

That means you haven't done what the first email told you to do Nick Go back and read it more carefully.

oh year missed that bit woops

[EDIT2]
I'm not sure what happened but I was still listing this bow
and when I decided right before you put it up definately to edit the
listing details it got me to this page and suddenly the "minimum
starting bid" went to 100,000 (I wrote 1000) and the "buy now price"
went to 500,000 (I wrote 5000). I'm not sure what happened there yet,
so I will try reproduce it little later.

I tested this again and so far I haven't been able to reproduce this error. If you could try again and let me know I'd be grateful.

[EDIT3]
I'm not sure if this is a glitch, but after listing an item (actually this one
) you can see that one photo is in the "photo section" on the bottom of
the page twice, and I don't understand why. Mb it's supposed to be like
that, but to me it doesn't seem logical. I'm sure I put it only up once.

No it's not a glitch. The feature image (first one you load) appears on the left side, the entire gallery appears on the right. It's normal for the sight, however I may change it if people don't like it.

[EDIT4]
At the final approval page there is the following text:
<blockquote>Once
you click "Complete Listing" your listing will be placed on our site
and you will only be able to edit or delete it up until the first bid
is placed.
</blockquote>
Then when I approved it I was able to delete it without someone making a bid. I guess that shouldn't be possible.
Then
after that I clicked on "List an item" and I immediately go to "listing
details" page and by default I get into the same category as before (so
I see this on top: Category: Main > Bows > Green Bows > Green
Longbows > Johon's Longbow)
And you can also edit it before any bids are made.

You are describing two separate things there. The first one IS allowed. If there have been no bids placed, users can delete or edit their listings. I did this on purpose. As for the second part, what it's doing is remembering where you were if you were half way through a listing previously. I put this as a "Frequently asked question" a few days ago because I noticed the system has quite a good memory. It means you need to click cancel listing and start over if you've changed your mind about where to put an item.

I'm sorry I read it wrong, it says "up until the first bid is placed", so it's actually working very well

We're sorry. The bid you entered contained unrecognizable data. Please reenter it.

However Chris has managed to do the same bid successfully

Hmm, just tried accepting the maximum bid amount that is provided as a default which is 1,200 and I still getthe same error. Tried again for 100 gold but still get errors

I can bid repeatedly against item 159 though, hmm, perhaps it's nows I'm an axe warrior so will not let me buy a bow

It's very strange you know....this one has me totally stumped. From what I can see, the system only allows whole numbers and no comma's, which is silly so I need to change it. Secondly, the system is setting minimum increments of 200g per bid, which is why you couldn't bid 100g. I'll amend the latter to 1g and the former to....well I need to contact the Dev team and ask them where they set their numeric rules.

I would test the site bunny

typo in the feedback box. When you click on the question mark next to the rating you get this explanation box. In the first line of the text it says feedack instead of feedback.

[EDIT] if I read this right then this box says you can give someone a rating when you are the bidder or seller. I could already vote during the bidding period...

i got a email saying my action about to close and it closes in 1 day

nick wrote:i got a email saying my action about to close and it closes in 1 day

That's right, I set it to remind people 1 day before their auction is due to expire. I have added this to the error log, and corrected it by extending the notice period to 6 hours before expiration.

That's not quite right either, it should say successful bidders not just bidders. I'll add this to the bug list.

Nick made a Dutch auction and the number of items is 1. In the description it says a Dutch auction is with two or more items. http://guildwarsauctions.co.uk/index.php?a=2&b=169

lmao, that's actually kinda funny. By doing that Nick has actually proven something I wanted to test myself....I wanted to know how it would treat a dutch auction with only 1 item in it (which is possible). What it is doing is treating it exactly like a standard auction, even though it says dutch auction. It's doing what it should be doing thankfully, I don't think there's any harm in it.

lol i did something right by accident

the banner doesnt make my screen explode anymore (1024*768)

its started puting things like when i rote 10000 it saying 10000.00 making me souolnd like it cost alot more

Yes, I've changed something in the currency settings. I have a problem.

There are 3 currency formats I can choose from:

• American = 10,000.00
  
• European = 10.000,00 (wtf?)
  
• Japanese = 10000
  

I originally had it on the last setting because I didn't want to see decimals. People got confused because they got errors when they tried to use commas but....the alternative is to have to enter decimals which I don't think is right either. I personally prefer the Japanese setting.

What do you think?

Pepper, can you give me a better description about where you found this box? What page where you on when you saw it and was it a pop up box or a text box on the page? Was it before or after you left feedback, or during etc....

I've looked and I can't see it among the 27 pages I have relating to feedback...

i noticed 2 things... so far
when i make a new bid it comes on top of the normal list and it comes on top of the newest featured auctions bit dubble isn't it? also the list of featured stance above the new auction woudn't it be better to have the new actions on top in a section?
btw i got banned from the yellthing allrdy trying to screwing it up and i geuss the anti-swear works great however short cut swearing like fcking and such still work
btw am I allowed to start spamming....alot?

btw how can i split up my gp's? u can buy or sell things for 0.01gp
