If someone could do me a favor I'd really appreciate it. I don't have a dial up modem connection, and I'm considering moving to auction helper because I like their auctionlynxx system. It's almost like a "view my other auctions" right in the auction itself....it's hard to explain. I'm afraid it will be really long to download for someone with a dial up connection and if that's the case I wouldn't even consider it. So, could someone with a dial up connection do a search on auctionlynxx (you have to click the search in titles and descriptions) and let me know if those auctions are really long to download? If anyone uses this software let me know how you like it too.
Thanks!!

It's not too long but the "Loading" word going across the screen in 3 of the boxes may turn people away because they might think it will take forever to load.
MEOW

I have a 56K modem and use Internet Explorer 5.0.
The huge blank picture box above the description (which I assume contains thumbnails of other auctions) tried to load for a long time and then I received a message asking me if I wanted to install Flash 5.0. I said no, and the blank picture box disappeared and no thumbnails appeared at all. This happened in 3 different auctions by different sellers.
If I had been just browsing auctions, looking for something to buy, I would have backed out of the auction long before I got the Flash 5.0 message. I wouldn't have realized that I could have scrolled down past the big blank box and immediately seen the auction description and picture for that particular auction (both had loaded quickly).
In your place, I wouldn't even consider using the service unless I had the option of placing the huge blank box BELOW the auction description rather than above it.
