Hi Guys,
I know a lot of you have viewed the new Auction Site Sign of the Past.com. Could you comment on why no one has posted any items for sale? There is active bidding on the current signs but no new postings.
Thank, you

Thanks guys for the feedback. I have forwarded the info to the programmer. Tom don't give up yet, I had no way of knowing the site was not performing correctly. These problems will be fixed ASAP.
Sincerely,

Hi Guys
I just talked with the programmer and he is unable to duplicate any problems. In the last 2 days we have had 15 new members join with no problems. Please try again and let us know if the same problems happen and at what point during registering it happens.
Thank you,

Your computers are locking up due to the size of the photos on the 'HOME' page/Auction Lisitng.

For instance, the ELRECO photo is a 300 dpi photo that takes up 449K of memory. This size makes it slow to load - and it's only one of seven that need to load on the HOME page - not to mention all the other graphics and text.

These initial photos don't need to be that large. They should only be saved at 72 dpi (since this is the resolution of your monitors).

Saving the ELRECO photo at the same overall dmension - but only 72 dpi - brings the memory requirements down to a miniscule 26K.

Save the larger, memory-wise, photo for the actual auction page where an interested party can see the detail necessary.

Later . . .

I am not sure what the problem is. We have tested the site and no problems with creating a new user. We have lots of new members from Gas & Go Pit Stop, with very good feedback. After you have completed the steps to register you will get an email at the address you listed. You than have to follow that link to activate your account. Just cut and paste the link in your browser. We encourage you to also sell on the site, free listings for 30 days.
Thank you,

I thought I would check out the site and I had the same problems. Computer is slow and/or freezes up. Too frustrating to use with those kinds of issues.

Attention: Everyone, E-bay wasn't built in a day. The Sign of the Past web site has only been up for short time. We are trying different ideas and not all of them work. We are going to resize the the images and believe this will solve a lot of issues. A lot of users have had a good experience so far, which makes the issues harder for the programmers to duplicate. Hang in there everyone we will running smooth soon.
Thank you,
