Why doesnt the "historical auction data" (ebay) work? I click on it and it does not come up  That was a good tool to be able to see the values. ---------------------------------------- 1992 1/2 Vibrant Red LX 5.0 Vert ( Stock " Cosmetically") 1965 Ivy Gold 289 coupe ( Stock) 2005 Black GT 4.6 ( 281) (modified) |

Because the ads are from ebay. Once the auction is over, ebay doesnt keep the info, so it is deleted after.. 45 days I belive? |

It absolutely should work. I just tried the 1992 history and it appeared OK for me. One thing that I can think of is that if you are seeing what appears to be a blank screen with only the site banner, navigation and ebay ad, scroll down. There are some incompatibilities with the site layout on Internet Explorer 6 especially when used at lower screen resolutions/small window sizes. The table with the auctions gets pushed down below the ad at the right. I hope that is it but let me know if you continue to experience problems, see any error messages, etc. The way that the history works is that each entry will be linkable to ebay for the 90 days following the auction and then after that the link will present information from my database. That history goes back over 6 years for 92/93 cars. Thanks for your feedback. ---------------------------------------- ~John 1993 Triple White, auto, all stock, 51k miles  |

In a way, yes. The ads are for active ebay items. But, if you click the "View all" link in the ad you go to this page where the "Historical auction data" links are that VibrantChick was referring to. Click those and you will see multi-page listings of completed auctions. These lists are from a database on this web server and not ebay because, as you say, they remove auctions after a fixed period of time (90 days). But, my database keeps the data indefinitely. ---------------------------------------- ~John 1993 Triple White, auto, all stock, 51k miles |

What do I need to do to be able to view it? ---------------------------------------- 1992 1/2 Vibrant Red LX 5.0 Vert ( Stock " Cosmetically") 1965 Ivy Gold 289 coupe ( Stock) 2005 Black GT 4.6 ( 281) (modified) |

I am using slimbrowser. I used to be able to see it with that, but not now. What do I need to do to be able to view it? What do you see when you try to view it? You can email me a screenshot if you get a chance. Nothing has changed with it so I'm surprised to hear it used to work. I'll download slimbrowser and check it out tonight. ---------------------------------------- ~John 1993 Triple White, auto, all stock, 51k miles |

OK, I tried slim browser and it worked except that it behaves like I tried to explain about what I have seen with Internet Explorer. For small window sizes, the information in the center is pushed down. You can see it here:  Its a layout problem that involves the ad block on the right and causes the center content to go below it. What I am describing is definitely a problem with this site. If you are seeing a white space where you are expecting the details, try scrolling all the way to the bottom. As you can imagine with the above screen shot, if the window height were less than it is here it would look blank in the middle. As it would be at 800 by 600. If this is not your case, can you provide more details like what you are actually seeing when you try to go to the page? There must be some explanation and I know we can find it. ---------------------------------------- ~John 1993 Triple White, auto, all stock, 51k miles |

Its just like you have shown. When I go down to the bottom of the page, its just white still cant see it  ---------------------------------------- 1992 1/2 Vibrant Red LX 5.0 Vert ( Stock " Cosmetically") 1965 Ivy Gold 289 coupe ( Stock) 2005 Black GT 4.6 ( 281) (modified) |

EDIT: Actually, I take that back. It looks like SlimBrowser is just a different interface for Internet Explorer. How about clearing your cache? Tools > Internet Options. Then on the General tab, click Delete under browsing history. ---------------------------------------- ~John 1993 Triple White, auto, all stock, 51k miles ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by TripleWhiteFox at Jun 23, 2009 3:16:52 PM] |
