The Official BQB.com Thread

[VURG]

I think I started the first BQB.com auction ever. I'm not sure but it looks like it's up and running.

Hi Rick,

You're welcome

Your store has been re-activated.

hello reece,
thanks for the store, i accidentally hit the 'proceed' buttion on the store prefferences page thinking that the settings were located there. Indoing so I removed the defalt store. Is there a chance you could reinstate the store.

With a second developer onboard, here's the ambitious list of implementations I hope to have made over the next couple months:

1 - Resolving auctions being removed from being "Watched" when outbid.
2 - Resolving Safari / OS X related issues.
3 - Resolving problems with emails sometimes not going through or ending up in junk folders.
4 - More Store Templates
5 - Make Messages Received show the number of unread messages
6 - Addition of a "Verified" image to auctions of all verified members (similar to ebay with SquareTrade)
7 - Bulk Listing capabilities
8 - Show current prices and end dates on featured items
9 - Option to allow only verified members to place bids on your auctions
10 - Implementation of "BQB Escrow".
11 - Implementation of Unique Reputation for feedback scores
12 - Integration of Google Checkout as a Direct Payment method and ePassporte as an Offline Payment method. Addition of "Paypal Masspay Only" as a payment method.
13 - Displaying 100 domains per page instead of the current 20. Widening the "Item Title" section, getting rid of the compared feature, changing "Max Bid" to "Current Bid", making stores without items not appear on the stores page, perfecting the RSS feeds, fixing the occasional error involving outbid notices not being sent, implementing a new relisting method, adding a subtitle line (for short descriptions).
14 - being able to stay logged a little longer
15 - have an automatic email sent when watched items are about to finish
16 - Customer Support forum (for troubleshooting, auction help, and suggestions)

If anyone has additional changes or implementations they'd like to see, please let me know!

Great news for all these new implementations !

I was thinking also about:
- being able to stay logged a little longer (i'm logged out after short periods of inactivity)
- have an automatic email sent when watched items are about to finish (would be good but optionnal, maybe not automatic)

Thanks Diddie! :tu:

Those are excellent suggestions and I've added them to the list

Have a new test site up where future code modifications will be tested prior to being included in the main site: http://www.bqb.com/BETA/

Anyone is welcome to sign up for an account and test the interface if they'd like

I'd recommend signing up with a different email address than you use for BQB however, as this is a complete clone, minus the users and auctions. You're welcome to create fake listings and experiment with different listing types, features, etc which you might not have yet tried on BQB.com.

If you'd like to try some features which would cost real money on BQB, let me know and you can test them out for free here.

Horizontal scrollbars appear, now even on the homepage (appx 5-6px wider than it should be). Firefox.

Great updates on post #342 :tu:

I'm going to download Firefox now myself so I can try and rectify this problem.

Okay. If you need help, let me know.

The thing is that BQB layout is made out of tables + it's made almost without any CSS. It's kind of tricky to force a layout like that to work on all browsers normally. Current web standards are XHTML/CSS/Ajax which can make any site perform the same on all browsers.

Awesome! Ad looks great. Thanks to Domaining.com & Hive Designs for their help in getting the word out there. This is sure to get some more quality members.

I'm really excited about BQB Reece and look forward to the future. You're doing a great job with it and it's great that you are a domainer so you know what domainers want & need. You are also extremely quick to act on any suggestions you may not have thought of.

I'd just like to let anyone know that's thinking of joining BQB that is is the fastest, smoothest sales venue I have ever sold or bought through. I highly recommend it.

I thought I'd try and hop on board while the site's being promoted and have reduced my CVCV.com listings to start as low as $24, L-L-L.com's from $19 and LLLL.info's from 50c. Hopefully with a combo of the advertising and some cheap domains there people will give BQB some attention and join up
