The auction testing period is open! If anyone would like to help bug bust, please go over here, click on the auctionee of your choice and go bid. You'll need to log in, if you're not already.

Again, this is a test. None of the bids will be kept

I bid, over-bid, deleted, followed sample URLs, admired the delete confirmation speech bubble, didn't trigger any big red "broken! broken! broken! step away from the keyboard!" alerts.

I did, however, finally figure out why clicking on the category list on the left never seemed to change the list of items displayed: after two years and three or four auctions, I suddenly realized it's because they're filters, not radio buttons. You know, the things that allow multiple selections, so if you click on a second one, it doesn't replace (say) the podfic items with the graphics one, it adds them. And then if you're impatient and don't actually scroll down past the first screen to see if there are any changes to your original selections - well. You wind up refreshing the page and starting over and muttering a lot. *facepalm* I should have had far more faith in you, dear Hostess.

(I hunted around for a page telling me just how much I would have committed to spending on my tarts altogether after my mad clicking spree, but didn't find one. It's got to be there somewhere, probably via a link saying "step right this way for your bid totals", but if you would be so good as to lead me by the hand? I promise I won't stare at it in horror and start revising my bids downwards during the actual auction. No sticker shock for this gal, no siree!)

*g* Thank you for the testing!

It is indeed a multiple selector - it's basically so people can just click through exactly what they want to view and then scroll through that. At some point I will be refining that to have the add to/replace option too, but that auction is not this auction. The to do list is getting a little epic o_0

Once bidding starts, and you bid, you'll see the imaginatively titled "Your Bids" tab on the main auction page, which will (hopefully) let you keep track of the Tarts you've bid on, give you a link to go bid again, and see your pledge total. It's not been tested and may be evil, so ... you know.
