Over the previous couple of months our TM Auctions application has improved in many areas.
More backups, more regularly
Even though our entire systems including all auction account data is securely backed up every night, it still left the possibility of losing a partial days activities. Now new pictures are backed up every hour, and all pictures are stored in the massively stable and reliable Amazon Simple Storage Service at no additional cost. Not only does this virtually guarantee that the pictures will never be lost, but also provides exciting scaling opportunities should your auction site make it Big Time. This is far and beyond what you would get from an average web hosting service.
Improved File Uploading
The built-in file uploader now supports all A Grade browsers.
Seller Plan Management
The site administrator can now add, edit and delete seller plans, including options such as monthly fees, maximum no reserve items, front page exposure, maximum live auctions and more.
4 Tier Categories
Category depth has doubled from 2 to 4, allowing improved categorisation of items. An example of 4 tiers may be:
/cars/used/holden/station-wagons/.
Picture Rotation
All pictures can now be rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise from the gallery management page in the event that the seller has listed an image that is the wrong way around.
