Alright, should be fixed now.  Sorry everybody.  One casualty is that the widgets are gone; hopefully they will not be overly missed.  They were sort of fancy, but very slow to load, and were causing all sorts of issues.

I'm overseas for a few days, so I won't be able to fix it until I get back.  Thanks for the heads-up --

Hi Foul,

Should have posted here, but here is a post from the Site Update section:

grodog wrote in Site Update:Auction Hunter did something odd to this point, Scott:  <!--261507518375-->R5 Great Bugbear Hunt  It's repeated about 6.02x10^23 times on the page ;)


Howdy, came here to report the same as above. Wonder if it is something in the listing itself causing the multiple "fractals"  8O

Good luck - Paul

I apologize for resurrecting a dead thread, but I noticed a bug in Auction Hunter bot.

I recently listed 3 belt buckles on Ebay, all scheduled to start at the same time.  The bot only found two of the listings, but that's not the bug I'm posting about.

For some reason the bot titled the items incorrectly.  It pulled a string of text ("R1 To the Aid of Falx) out of the middle of the item description.

This is a url to a screen shot of the Classifies thread.

The bot seems to have correctly titled other recent items.

Let me know if I can provide any other information.

Belt buckles are not part of the Auction Hunter bot's search.  We don't currently search for or track them on The Acaeum.

They were only captured because they were mistaken for R1 To the Aid of Falx, since you put that in your description.  They weren't removed because we thought they might be of interest to The Acaeum members.

So, count yourself lucky that the two are there for the time being. :)
