Is Auction Ads stuff working?

[Prem1x]

Jett, check this thread http://www.x-h2o.com/showthread.php?t=27972

The pasted eBay links do not seem to work.

Oh man, Auctionads has been having some major issues---supposedly in the middle of a huge upgrade.

We'll give them a day or so to get straightened out, then if they are still messed up I'll remove that plugin that rewrites the links. Maybe I'll just go ahead and undo it for now...

Seems to bog the site down on refresh and loading IMO

Has anything changed with this recently?

I've been having issues with ebay links on here for some time but all of a sudden they worked just fine yesterday. Today I'm back to blank pages when ever I click an ebay link.


BTW, I don't see ebay listings on top of the page. Is it from my end ?

[SuperJETT]

Point me to one. Everything is working fine on my end.

Here's what I get when ever I try an ebay link.

I hope you see a blank page like I do.

Nope, took me to the

Well, here's what I get.
Must be something with my crap or I just suck at this whole interweb stuff.

[SuperJETT]

I see your problem, Internet Explorer.

www.getfirefox.com

Install Firefox and try it.

[Boris]

Never could get used to FireFox.

Thanks for trying to help a Polak anyway. :jester:

[SuperJETT]

I'm just saying use it to test this one thing. FF typically gives much better error reporting than IE.

[Boris]

For what it's worth, it all worked fine with FireFox.
I must be lacking some secret add on or don't know the secret Bill Gates hand shake so IE won't let me have fun with links.

Viva Microsoft.
