Is there a problem right now with Auctiva?

I was listing just about the time you posted this issue and was having no problems. What a lot of folks do is check out a couple browsers to see which one works the best for them on Auctiva. I use IE and it just zooms around the site. 
server errors have resurfaced

Same here, and another thing is that I scheduled my listings to post at 8pm cst. Half posted at 7pm cst. Is auctiva not part of daylight savings time?
I don't list here anymore....but just signed on to check insurance from some old postings and I too am getting the RUNTIME ERROR messages....
I opened a support case the other day, and just now received a message back about my account, but unfortunately it is STILL not functioning properly.
I can sign on to this site, and that's it! ...from there, every link I try goes to RUNTIME ERRORs....and interestingly enough, I asked "why is it that the boards always seem to work fine but the site has very sketchy reliability?"
...hmmm....."still" waiting on a response. LOL
*sigh* I'm glad I left....

Off course there is a problem. Ebay has their .10 listing tomorrow. YOu can count on a problem with Auctiva when Ebay has a Bargain

The latest webserver we added to the rotation of www.auctiva.com looks like it's not running up to par.
This server will be out of the rotation shortly. All other webservers are running smooth, so it's just luck of the draw (or unluck in this case) if you're hitting the server with the error page right now.
Over the past few weeks, we've made a lot of significant improvements to the backend of Auctiva. You've probably seen a lot of the nightly maintenance messages we've put up as we've added hardware, made database improvements, changed DNS and various other changes to help the speed and uptime of the site. These improvements are to help the immediate needs as well as help us scale for the future.
To be honest, I'm actually excited for 10 cent listing day tomorrow to see how well the changes we've made do on a high traffic day.

All servers should be running as normal now.
Is anyone else still having problem. Auctiva still won't open for me.
Hi Kevin,
I know you guys get a lot of complaints and not many compliments.
So i thought i would just say to all you guys and gals at auctiva. Thanks for all your time and hard work on upgrading auctiva.

Well, I think I'm going to give you guys another try! I haven't listed anything in quite a while due to not having the time to do my eBay stuff, but I have been checking the boards from time to time and have noticed all the problems and changes! Last week I could hardly do anything on Auctiva without an error message of some kind. Today I have been using it a lot with only a few minor kinks, and those may have even been on my end! I am using Internet Explorer and the site seems to be running much, much faster than a few months ago, so I would like to say Thank You for all the hard work, I think it's starting to pay off!
Seeing how much better the site is running I'm going to start using the Auctiva Insurance and checkout again, hopefully I won't be disappointed!
Note: To all those people constantly complaining: Not all sites are like eBay which has almost endless money to spend on Tech. Support, Customer Service Personell, and the latest Hi-Tech hardware and software, so stop expecting problems to be fixed in minutes and questions to be answered in hours. Even eBay can't usually get back to you within 72 hours, and sites like MySpace can take 1-2 months for a response, so for Auctiva to get back within a couple days I would have to say is pretty good!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!

As to the boards always working even when the site is down, my guess would be that it is on a seperate server and would require much more basic software and hardware, which would in turn be much more reliable! If anybody knows for sure I would love to hear the answer, but it seems kinda obvious to me! 
Hello Princes and Princesses of Auctiva. I have had a great day today. Feels like I am flying thru listings. Got some listings for 10c day scheduled, but I gave out before Auctiva did this time. Just wanted to say thanks for all your upgrades and hard work. Best of my blessings to you.
