We told you in the first section of this Monthly Club email that our auction host has upgraded how our auctions display (but NOT our galleries or any other portion of our site). As we said, this was done to greatly improve loading speed of the auction pages AND to deter "bots" which have sometimes hurt our site by endless crawling for data for those AI engines we are all reading about (and of course, they do this without permission, and without paying a fee for the data they collect).

But this redesign of the auction pages has caused some features to be streamlined or relocated. The biggest one is that the WATCH LIST has changed.

There is now a little gray heart to the right of the preview image and under the "CONDITION" on each auction page (see image below).

YOU SIMPLY "CLICK" ON THE GRAY HEART, AND IT TURNS GREEN (and the word "Watched" briefly appears under it), AND NOW THE ITEM IS ADDED TO YOUR WATCH LIST.

CLICK ON THE GREEN HEART AGAIN AND IT TURNS GRAY AGAIN (and the word "un-watched" briefly appears under it) AND NOW THE ITEM IS REMOVED FROM YOUR WATCH LIST (see below image for how it appears with a green heart).

Here is something else that has changed. WHEN YOU ARE LOGGED IN (the "Log-in" tab is now in the top center of the auction page), your initials now appear in the top left of the page (next to our small logo).

If you want to see all your bids, there is a link that says "Bids" (with a tiny hammer image) in the top center of the page, just below the "Help" link. Clicking on "Bids" takes you to a page with all your bids on open auctions. If you want to see your bids on closed auctions, click on the word "Closed" and if you want to see both, click on the word "All".

BUT IF YOU SOLELY WANT TO SEE THE ITEMS YOU ARE CURRENTLY HIGH BIDDER ON, click on the arrow to the right of the "Open" button and a drop down appears with "Winning" and "Losing". Click on either to see just those (see our image below).

I know this "changed look" and changed locations can be daunting to many of you (especially those of you who, like me, are "old dogs" and we don't like "learning new tricks"!). But as I said above, please give yourself a chance to get used to them, because we feel sure you will soon get used to them, and like the quicker loading and the more conveniently placed bid box!

AND REMEMBER IT SOLELY AFFECTS THE AUCTIONS THEMSELVES! Our site (and most importantly, our galleries) remains the same and you really only visit the auctions to place your bids, but other than that, you are on our site!

Remember too that if you find any problem with the re-design of the auctions, let us know what it is, so we can get it fixed ASAP!
