118 auctions and 104 registered users, as more people register to bid and place auctions it encourages more to join.. its a lovely snowballing effect.

As always your feedback is greatly appreciated (even finding any bugs!).

Making something so useful to use and allowing people to get bargains and sell to a bigger market is amazing.

Thanks to everyone.

Keep checking Ultima Auctions

Why?

for several reasons!

1: It is continually growing with nearly 130 fully registered users.

2: It will be constantly updated and worked on, next to come will be easier access to forums and more profile options for communicating.

3:Random competitions including special give away auctions (category for that will be added soon)

4: You can find some real bargains and at the same time earn a lot of gold!

The feedback from everyone has been fantastic and I want to thank everyone who has helped!

If there is anything you want to suggest, tell me about or you have any problems let me know and We will do what we can to get it sorted ASAP!

Thank you

Rupert Avery, CheesePlant & Salivern Diago

Re: Poll for an option on Ultima Auctions

Pointless poll.

If people just wanna sell something they'll set the auction start price to something like 4,999 with a 5k buy-out or something. If you want to make things buy-out only go for it, but if you don't implement it people will essentially just emulate exactly that anyway.

Re: Poll for an option on Ultima Auctions

Re: Keep checking Ultima Auctions

There is the one thread for website updates.
There is this one...
and there is the poll one which was to highlight the nearly ending poll.

There has been two others to tell people about winners of the two competitions.
Why do you ask?

Your "spamming" is my "new information"... I, for one, see no problem with more than a single thread on "related" information/questions/opinions - but I can understand your comment.

Having watched UO "digress" from the once vibrant and busy place that it was a decade ago - ANYTHING or anyone that is actively doing something to make UO more fun or more "public" is doing us ALL a great service.

Be grateful that Ultima Auctions is doing its part to make UO those things.

:D

  • Enabled Auto extension - Auctions Auto extension gives you the ability to automatically extend by 300 seconds the auctions end time, if someone bids in the last 120 seconds of the auction lifetime.

AND

If you create and Auction and select 'Buy it now only' option you can select how many of that item you have... It is known as a Dutch auction.

For example

If you have say 10 Race Change Tokens you can set it as the price you want and people can buy them until you have no more... I have started such an Auction to show as an example Example Dutch Auction

here is an update on the updates
So to the updates!

Menu Update:The Menus on the main nav bar have been changed slightly the changes are:
  • Forums is now a direct link to the Ultima Auctions forum on UOforums.
  • Useful Links now takes you to the table with lots of useful links to UO related places.
  • Gold Exchange is now where you find the gold swapping rate, which I intend to tidy up and make it simpler in the very near future.
Avatar Picture: The ability of adding an avatar is fully functional you can add and avatar by going to your control panel and clicking on the "Avatar Upload" tab

Sell from this Category: This useful button previously only appeared in categories that had no auctions. It now appears in all categories so you can very easily sell an item in the category you are looking at. There is one minor thing to change with this mod but it does not affect its function. You will find the button right in the centre of any category you look at.

Most Viewed: I have added a section section on the right side of the main page that shows the Items that have been viewed the most right now it is set to the top 5 auctions. there is a minor style issue that will get worked out asap but the actual function is good.

Newest Members: I put in a request for this little mod and it got made.. But i was stupid and messed a part of the Data Base up. you may notice you cant see when you were registered (sorry about that) I will look into fixing it but for not instead you see when you were last logged in.
As it stand you can see the last 5 people to of registered with Ultima Auctions.
Once i get the registration dates thing sorted I will change it all to reflect that :)
At the moment you can see their Name only, I have enquired about linking it to the user's profiles.

well folks that is a few updates for you and I will keep you up to date with any of the changes that still need done :)

Thank you
