Hmm. Which version? I'm using 4.0.6 at the moment.

I see this in preview:
<http://eruvia.org/imagedump/GarageSale-20080504-143608.png>

(snap contains no identifiable account stuff, so am within the no
advertising rules I think).

I'm guessing the box disappears on posting, but it's a potentially
expensive way to find out and look rather silly if it turns out I'm
wrong.


Cheers,
Ian

I am using 4.0.6 and I don't see anything like that. Have you tried
other templates? (if you are indeed using their templates) and see
whether it still shows?

Decided to take the risk after noticing that if I dragged in a random
image, another drop area appeared below it ie. one appears to let you
add new images, no matter how many images you've added.

Not sure I like what it's done with the auction though - has left two
images in a large format at the bottom in what looks like a second
page. Would link but that would obviously blow the no advertising rule.

Ah well, worth a shot. Will see if I get it right next time.


Cheers,
Ian

It's worth persevering with GarageSale - it works well for me. Slightly
unintuitive but it does a good job.
