Greetings,
*sigh* So eBay, taking note of the imminent release of JBidwatcher, changed their adult login process. I kid, I kid... They did, however, make a rather annoying change to the final page of the adult login process, which broke JBidwatcher uncomfortably.

So adult logins are broken again... It's one of the more touchy parts of the program, unfortunately.

THIS time, though, I don't have to repeat myself to everybody and their brother, letting them know it's changed, and what to do. I've pushed a new configuration (recognizable by 0.9.7.1 as just an update, recognizable by 0.9.8 as an update + configuration changes), which sets 'ebay.adult' to false, and puts up a message explaining what happened.

As soon as the configuration is checked and loaded (some 10 seconds after launch) everybody will be updated with the newest changes. It doesn't FIX the problem, because the change is a bit more convoluted than can be handled via the automatic string update, but it does make it so that anybody currently running into it will not be running into it anymore, unless they are trying to bid on mature audiences items.

If they ARE trying to bid, snipe, or monitor mature audiences items, then they'll need an interim version, while I work on putting together 0.9.9.

Morgan,
thanks for a great app and fixing things so quickly. i was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why i would get updating failures. it was obvious it was an ebay change as it happened in the same way .9.7 failed. luckily i wasnt sniping on anything during the time that it wasnt working and wallaah! it is fixed with 20 minutes to spare before my next snip. i appreciate all the work you do and all the money you have saved me (depending on which side of the check book your looking) keep up the great work and as always i leave "Enable Affilliate Use" checked.
cheers

out of interest more than anything I was wondering and you could email me on subject (stuart at stuweb dot co dot uk) is the affiliate stuff working in any great sense. I often wonder about linking programs and the like and I use the ebay buttons on some of my sites, with a great deal of traffic on many of them but no income?

just curious, you seem like an honest guy what sort of throughput you getting?
