[D*] New version of the site !

Dear friends,

As many users have already noticed, the new version of the site is now installed!

The site, however, is not running on the new server, yet, but this new version should greatly improve your ease of access.

Briefly, here are the new features:

Design.
A slightly lighter and more colorful look spruced up the site.

Selling.
- You now have the pssibility of viewing the image before confirming your sale.
- You may now choose the auction's ending time (date and hour).
- You may opt to sell at a fixed price (that is, once the first bid is placed, the auction is over). This will nicely avoid one-day auctions renewed 999 times, which slowed down our site significantly.
- You may stipulate your selling conditions at the level of "My Account".
- You may print the list of categories (see selling form) in order to refer more easily to their numbers.
- The image size is currently limited to 200 Kb. People with low bandwidth have great difficulties viewing images over this limit.

Search.
- The search page posts much faster (between 15 and 20 times according to our preliminary tests).
- The smart search engine is not yet fully operational. We need to wait until the new server is on-line to activate it.

Sale Listing.
- Sorting may now be done according to the current price rather than the starting price.
- Recently closed auctions no longer appear in the listing of ongoing auctions.

My Account.
- A steep gain in the posting speed of these pages. Certain pages now post up to 15 times faster than before (especially the list of auctions sold, won, etc.)


And, that's it for this time.


Best regards,
