The problems with Auctiva over the weekend have been frustrating, and are still continuing, apparently.
Overall, I'm more than satisfied with Auctiva - when it's good, it's very, very good, and when it's bad, re: glitch/crash/failure to list/world destruction and all stages in between, it's a bomb but still the best bomb around. It always rights itself sooner or later.
Apart from listing failures this weekend, I just spent 2-1/2 hours importing pictures and writing a description for a new listing. When I pressed Save, the page went poof, and all I had was a blank "new listing" form with not a word of mine on it. All gone. The Evil Auctiva Genie had struck again.
Note to myself: Save, save and save! I get caught up in what I'm doing and don't save early enough, often enough.
Maybe all these problems occur because Auctiva is still the best game in town when it's working right. Too many of us, too heavy a load. Like any superhighway, too much traffic can cause overload snarls.
