Spring Into Action!

 It's time for another OnlineAuction.com store decorating contest! Always entertaining, these regular contests challenge our members' creativity and promote comraderie and fun. Our Customer Support gal, Renee, has thrown down the gauntlet in the Chat Forum. Are you ready to spring into action?

Anyone who has visited OLA in the last month has seen the effects of a recent glitch that crashed the site for several hours and wiped out images on many of the auctions site-wide. Recovering from this glitch has been quite a chore, not only for the OLA staff, but for store owners, as well.

If you are a store owner, reading this, who has not yet verified the existence of your auction images, you should do so, at once. OLA programmers have been working non-stop at correcting issues, but you can easily prep your store on your own, by re-loading your images. If anything else is amiss, you should contact Customer Support at your earliest opportunity, either by telephone, (800-900-2828), or by omail to OLAsupport. Additionally, you may find assistance from your peers in the Chat Forum.

All new and revised auction images are holding... I can vouch for that personally, as my listings have all been updated and new ones added without any difficulty! I see that many other stores are fully stocked with fantastic photos and auctions, as well.

 Buyers, we're ready and waiting for your visit!

And soon, many stores will be cheerfully decorated, too! Don't miss out!

Here are links to the stores who have already joined the OLA Spring Decorating Contest.
Please reward their efforts by taking a peek at their festive decorations!

OLA Halloween Store Decorating Contest

Have you heard?

OLA is having a
Halloween Store Decorating Contest!

This is a great opportunity for OLA Founding Members to show off their creativity and get in the spirit of the season! Jaswood2 created a fantastic tutorial to help members get started. It highlights adding a colorful background, choosing a logo, changing the color of the font and borders, and other clever ideas.

The contest has begun already, and runs through Oct 27th.
There is still time to bring out your inner goblin!

To peak your interest, take a gander at the stores that have already submitted an entry...
