Yes it should be working as of now. Any previously linked auctions that were erroneously closed early (and which are still active on eBay) should also now be correctly listed as active.

Doh, error in the main script, my test script was fine. I added your auction for you Color Maelstrom. Everything should be working fine now, tested with a couple of foreign sites and it appears to work aok.

Hey Chern Ann- Thanks a lot for getting to this. I know a lot of people really like it, some actually depend on it etc, and I\'m sure that even though you know that, it still might get tiresome reading the less-than-patient venting that has come up about the subject.

Your time and effort building, maintaining, and improving this site is incredibly appreciated. It has long since become so ubiquitous that it has reached that state of expectation / entitlement that people feel its an affront when they can\'t get what they want. I want you to know that even if you don\'t get too many thanks along the way, there are a ton of people that beyond appreciating its existence, also really appreciate what it takes to make it exist.

Thanks for years of awesomeness.

First, let me say thanks to Chern Ann. I want it to be very clear the ire of this post isn\'t directed at him.

\"Less than patient\"? \"LESS THAN PATIENT\"!? FOUR months is MORE than patient, especially for those of us who paint as a business, relying on this exposure for income, and you\'re saying we\'ve been less than patient?

I\'m pleased that it\'s finally fixed, but the time it took to fix this was atrocious. Sorry, but it was. There\'s no other way to look at it that isn\'t blind sycophancy. That said, I still appreciate Chern Ann fixing it. A sincere thank you, Chern Ann.

But \"less than patient\"!? Gods, you\'re lucky I counted to ten before hitting the post button, blackfly. :mad:

If the advertising this website produces is so critical to painters for their business - perhaps $0.75 an advert isn\'t expensive enough. I mean, the exposure those artists get probably raises the sale price of the mini by 10-20%. If the price increases by a mere 10%, the mini only has to sell for $7.51 for it to be worth the credit.

Perhaps the price for advertising needs to go up. Then this wouldn\'t need to be a side job.

The bottom line is that people have been paying for a service and have not been getting that service as described. We\'re not talking about a week or two or even a month of downtime here. We\'re talking about a quarter of a year.

I, for one, would be happy to pay more for advertising if I was 100% sure it would work when I needed it. The cost of advertising is a completely moot point however if the advertising does not work as expected. As it is, I\'m not sure yet if I\'ll bother buying any more credits when my current allotment runs out.

That\'s all I\'m gonna say about it. No more response from me on this topic since I don\'t want Chern Ann to think I\'m angry with him (I\'m not at all, but I\'m also not sure I want to throw money away on something I no longer trust).
