    Default Bulk uploader Problem, any ideas?

    I was wondering if anyone could help me.

    I have just uploaded auctions via the bulk upload option and they all passed. They have all been listed perfectly except that the html I used for my description isn't working. I use photos in my description. It works fine if I list them manually and also work if I click into edit on of the items then just click the source button to view the html then click it again to view the HTML source code then click it again to go back to WYSIWYG advanced.

    Please help me if you can as I have thousands of auctions to list and cant go into editing EVERY one

    Thank you

    You haven't closed the quotes on the alt tag, you need to close them, or if you intend to leave them blank, remove the alt tag altogether.

    It may be a good idea to postpone any alterations untill after the upgrade. Hopefully there will be no problems, but if there are you will only have to modify them once then.

    One thing I didn't mention is that there is a new lister (ninjalister) coming in with the new site (unfortunately the lister is not ready and will not be online on Friday. However one of our members (jimbo) has a "bootleg" version, which is currently off-line, but I am guessing that when he gets hold of the coding info for the new site he will re-launch it. I have not actually used it myself as when I list I have been trying to snare the listing prize money (no sucess yet); but his version looks to be much easier to use than the old spreadsheet based one.

    Where did you get that from? Despite asking I have not seen a statement either way as to whether the lister will released on the 8th (as mooted earlier) or not.

    The latest post on the eBid thread that Gazza & Mark use to tell us of updates to the site (sorry can't post a link as I am a the gym and the computer I am using does not have a copy/pase facility). Although I may have misunderstood it I would assume that the ninjalister would include the same type of WYSYWIG feature in it.
