DragonByte Classifieds v1.0.0 Beta 11 (Open Beta) Released!

Mokonzi

Former Developer
Hi everyone,

DragonByte Classifieds v1.0.0 Beta 11 arrives with bug fixes, some changes and several new features. The changes continue to improve formatting and layout in some areas of the frontend of Classifieds and improve translation. The Who's Online list now correctly details the locations and actions of users within the Classifieds system and advertising boxes have arrived that can be displayed above and/or below the forums on the main forum home page.

Remember, we have installed the latest Beta of Classifieds here on DBTech. We have created some 'fake' items and have left PayPal in Sandbox mode so that no real money changes hands allowing anyone to test how the system works. We look forward to your feedback. Go here for the latest listings: View Listings - DragonByte Tech | vBulletin Mods & Addons.

To create a PayPal Sandbox account you need to head over to this page: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/applications/accounts. Once you login with your regular PayPal account you can then create a sandbox testing account to use to 'purchase' the items on our Classifieds.

You can purchase DragonByte Classifieds here.

A special thanks to everyone who has provided feedback during the past week, especially the ever hard working beta testers.
