NEW VERSION: v1.22 - “Minor” bug correction

Please make sure you get v1.22 if you have not already (use download link on left). I made a “small” ommission in v1.21 which meant that Sign up and “Search eBay” links were not forwarding properly (well, not at all in fact). This is fixed now.
Sorry these updates are so haphazard - it’s what happens […]

After a flurry […]

Faulty RSS link generation?

There is some concern from users about the possibility that WordBay IS affected by the recent Great RSS Change, despite my relative confidence that it was not.

RSS changes - WordBay update coming ASAP

Thanks to all the users who have flagged up problems with WordBay (and other eBay RSS-based software) caused by changes to the eBay RSS feed.

Are eBay RSS feed problems affecting WordBay users?

There has been quite a hubbub around the net concerning some kind of change to the eBay RSS feed that WordBay is based on. In particular you can read the thread on the EPN forum here. It seems that many product links were ending up at some kind of “not found” page and obviously this […]

NEW VERSION 1.15: WordBay.css preservation revisited!

OK, sorry to all of you (and thanks for letting me know) who got version 1.1 of WordBay only to discover that it did not work as advertised, i.e. did not preserve your lovingly-crafted WordBay.css file.
