General


Site Name - Type the name of your website.  This name will show up in page footers, and E-mails. If you do not have a logo for the site this property will show up in text.

Site Motto - This text will be displayed in the meta title of each webpage, and may also be displayed below the site name on the home page.

Site Logo - Enter the URL of your logo image or upload an image from your local machine.  This image will be displayed at the top header of each page.

Administrator Email – Enter the email address you wish to use for website communications.  All messages sent though the website (contact.asp) will go to this email address.
Note: The email tag [ADMINEMAIL] corresponds to this email address.

Sniper Protection Minutes - If a bid is placed within this set number of minutes before the item ends, the auction will be automatically extended this number of minutes.  This is also known as Popcorn Bidding.
Example:The sniper protection minutes are set to 2.  Bidder A is the highest bidder on Item #1.  Bidder B places a bid on Item #1 with 30 seconds left before the end of the auction.  The end time for Item #1 is now extended 2 minutes.
Proxy Bidding On - (ON or OFF) If set to ON, bids will be placed automatically when outbid, up to the maximum bid placed.
Note: If set to OFF, the proxy system will not be used and the maximum bid will always be placed immediately.
Skin - A “skin” is the combination of the graphics, colors, and fonts used throughout the site.  Several basic skins are included.  Select a skin using the dropdown menu.   Note: The options available utilize several different banner options and page widths.  The differences between skins are entirely CSS based and additional customization can be accomplished by editing the CSS files directly.

Restrict Website Access - (ON or OFF) If set to ON, users are required to login before accessing any page other than login.asp, forgot.asp, verify.asp and register.asp.

Show Address Fields for Registration - (ON or OFF) If set to OFF, the registration form only requires the following fields: Username, Email Address, Password, First Name, Last Name
Note: If Credit Card Accepted is turned on this setting is ignored.
