When I go to register (in IE7 and Vista Home Premium) I get a certificate error:

It's not an "error" per se, it's a warning that the SSL certificate was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.

Meaning Verisign, goDaddy or some public authority...

I have applied for a certificate on Friday, says it takes 3-4 business days.. so I generated a local 1024 bit certificate to at least encrypt any data typed in until I get the "trusted certificate".

You can click the option to proceed with no problems...

If you view the certificate,it will show it was issued by RPG Marketplace and to RPG Marketplace and is valid from 02/29/08 - 02/28/09.. the details should show the serial number:

008A E8AA 7F01 5070 6C

and a thumbprint of :

E5A2 885B B139 21CB ED56 EDA7 9BF3 88E5 E3F4 ECFE

if you really need to check all that before logging in.

As soon as I get the new certificate next week, I'll get it installed.

Hey Doug,

That was a good price for a 10 year SSL certificate.

I've priced them before from Verisign and Thawte and they are crazy expensive. Shocked

If you get a chance can you PM me with a link to where you purchased yours?

Thanks,
Jason

I got it from GoDaddy.com

They are usually about $29.00/per year for a basic SSL single site certificate... they had or are having a sale at $14.99/year...

I did a search at Yahoo.com for: cheap SSL certificates and got this link:

Thanks. Still can't register as it doesn't have my "province": West Midlands or Birmingham Question

I asked for it to be removed in remembrance of that tackle by Taylor on Eduardo! I'm working on Google to get Birmingham taken out of their index to!

This software is FROM the UK ... so there must be a reason they left it out !!??

LOL Fair enough.

Although I am a "Mighty Rams" ( Rolling Eyes

) fan rather than a blues fan.

The site looks great, and there's a lot of nice stuff up already. Should be a success!

Once I get a day to sit around and mess with it, I hope to "mirror list" about half my ebay store items to the site, to provide an alternative to ebay if a Acaeum member wishes to purchase something from me. Plus I need to balance out all those high ticket gee-gaws of Doug with some "ordinary" stuff for the merely mortal. Very Happy

BTW just shy of 40 members, not bad for a week's time!

Hear, hear! Thanks Doug for making this tool for sellers and traders available. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the day when there are 100+ sellers and I'm trying to keep my own "for sale" items from getting buried.

That would be nice.

Cool

I signed up to the site to be able to use the watch item feature for the Judges Guild items that I monitor.

Does anybody know if the item is sold will it still be visible on my watch items list (indicating that it is sold) or will it disappear?

Yup, I second that and I'm going to stick with it as, unlike some folks here that rely on sales for their main income, I can take it or leave it. I sell because it helps me fund my personal collection and because I enjoy it most of the time. I certainly enjoy it a whole lot more now that eBay will be sending me an invoice for ZERO pounds and ZERO pence next time around. However, we do need some sort of a strategy to pull customers in. I noticed the search engines had found the site but failed to drill down to the auctions, only picking up the top pages. That might be down to the first pass at a mutli-stage indexing run, I'll keep looking. But who's up for collaborating and coordinating our efforts? That would be better than each of use rowing alone I think. I have an eBay account with a high reputation, plenty to sell and not a concern for their rules and regulations anymore. How can I leverage that to get traffic into RPGMP? All ideas welcome whilst I think up a few of my own.

Mike, Doug, In the 3rd quarter I'll have a bit more time on my hands and was thinking it might be useful to put together a database of item descriptions and images culled and grown from all the various selling lists from members here who wanted to participate. Like an ISBN lookup we could then produce an RPG item lookup to allow sellers to list with ease. I've got about 200 Chaosium/ Cthulhu and 200 GDW descriptions, dates, page counts, postal costs tucked away - between the rest of you you probably cover everything ever produced. Listing is always the most time consuming part of selling (excluding queueing at one of the 4 post offices we have left in the UK). If we could make that a breeze, and I don't think it would be so hard to do, it might encourage a lot of new sellers. We could also kick in selling histories etc. to give sellers an idea of how to position their items for sale. Lots of possibilities if anyone is interested, I'd do the work but you'd need to supply the data - probably in something like Turbo Lister format. And Doug, if you fancy collaborating, we could get pretty close to a minimal clicks listing process that beats the hell out of Turbo Lister, which a good bit of kit but still means users have to do the work themselves. Even if people didn't use it to sell on RPGMP, the description could still carry "Produced by RPGMP Lister" or something along those lines, free advertising. Anyway, it's an idea.

I've tried using the search but the results it returns don't make sense to me.

Tried: dragon magazine
Get: Some dragon magazines, but also get chainmail, gamma world stuff, traveller stuff, etc...

Went to advanced search and tried: dungeon (with defaults) and it returned no results.

Is it me or is it me?

I have already complained about the search...

When you search Dragon Magazine, it looks for both "dragon" and "magazine" in titles and descriptions ... so you get a lot of hits since the word magazine is in many descriptions as well.

Not sure if they'll make any changes to that, but I can't get it to search for only "Dragon Magazine" as a whole either...

hopefully they will put some login into the search down the road.

Use boolean notation

eg +dragon +magazine
or +dragon -magazine

How do you select Buy Out only? The sell form won't let me through unless I enter an auction value greater than zero.
