Auctiva Problems This Last Week

Hi,
I always use Auctiva to create my ebay auctions and it's always been great - but this last week it keeps crashing on me, taking ages to load up and downloading the pics has been a nightmare. Does anyone else use Auctiva and how has it been working for you this past week. I was wondering if it is just because it's a busy time of year or if my computer is playing up??:confused:

    It's in meltdown for me as well, at one point last Sunday I seriously wondered if they were going to pull the site as it was so bad.

    It used to have good patches and bad patches but the good ones are now getting rarer, such a shame as I love the ability to schedule my listings.

  • Are you using firefox or IE?
    I had a lot of problems on Auctiva recently using firefox but all was OK when I switched back to IE.

    Auctiva has never worked at all for me on IE so I usually have to switch to Firefox just to get the page to open.

  • Auctiva been a little slow for me this week ( on IE ) - but assumed that it was heavier demand in these few weeks to Crimbo

    or I thought might be because I had accummulated nearly 4000 item pictures and spent ten minutes deleting several hundred !

    Maybe it is just cos it's crimbo soon - If it doesn't get better after I will have to sack it. I am using IE I did actually try to download Firefox yesterday but it said there was a fatal error the frist time then the second time it was taking forever so I gave up. I may try again today. I had never heard of Firefox until yesterday is it good to download and use instead of IE - do you still get the tabs? :confused:

    IE only has tabs now because Firefox introduced them. It's far less memory intensive. I only use IE now if a page's html code is poorly written and doesn't open in Firefox properly.
