myTimeZone for eBay
This shows you how often myTimeZone for eBay was updated with us over the past few months. Whenever available, we also include additional information for each update (new features, changes etc.).
version 1.5.0 - posted on Dec 25, 2007
- [NEW FEATURE] - Added support for currency conversion to African Rands.
[NEW FEATURE] - Added Option to display a countdown timer only for auctions which end within a specified number of days.
[NEW FEATURE] - Added Option to suppress the display of running seconds until a specified amount of time remains for the auction.
[NEW FEATURE] - Added Option to show timer in any of 3 colors depending on how much time remains. By default, the timer is shown in yellow. You can also show it in green and red depending on how much time remains. Custom gradient backgrounds for auction timers have been designed to blend with eBay s page theme. Unless you know better you d think mTZ was part of eBay s regular page.
[NEW FEATURE] - Added Option to play an audible alarm when an auction has a specified number of minutes remaining. You can use a built in alarm sound or choose your own custom sound file to use as an alarm.
[NEW FEATURE] - Added Option to automatically log into eBay with your user id and password whenever a sign in page is detected.
[NEW FEATURE] - Added Option to automatically skip eBay advertisement pages after logging in.
[NEW FEATURE] - Added Option to display an additional page navigation section at the top of the search results page as well. This means you don t have to scroll to the bottom of the page to go to the next page, previous page, etc.
[CHANGED] - myTimeZone no longer supports Linux due to inconsistencies with multimedia playback, numerous plugin issues and support for Firefox 3 (Minefield). Sorry, but Linux support has become a major headache.
[CHANGED] - myTimeZone now requires Firefox version 2.0 or above.
[CHANGED] - Completely redesigned the options window to improve layout logic and provide help comments.
[CHANGED] - Enabled ability to use auction countdown timers even when automatic time conversion is not enabled.
[CHANGED] - When making changes to settings which affect auction timers or alarms, any tabs with currently running timers will be updated immediately to reflect the new settings (unless the page contains an alarm which is playing at that moment).
[IMPROVED] - A menu entry for myTimeZone has been added to the main Tools menu in Firefox so myTimeZone s settings can now be accessed easier.
[IMPROVED] - Auction countdown timer now displays days remaining if auction has more than 1 day remaining (instead of simply total hours).
[IMPROVED] - Auction timers now display on all pages in the bid process (`Place Bid,` `Review and Confirm Bid` and `Bid Placed` pages).
[IMPROVED] - A context menu (right-click) entry for myTimeZone has been added for another alternate way to quickly access mTZ s settings.
[IMPROVED] - Dates on `myEbay` pages will now be detected and converted.
[IMPROVED] - On pages with an auction timer, the time remaining displayed by eBay (directly above the auction timer) has been removed because it is redundant (and outdated) when an auction timer is active.
[IMPROVED] - Smoothness of countdown timer has been improved when many auction timers are running at the same time.
[IMPROVED] - Improvements to code efficiency for reduced CPU usage.
[IMPROVED] - After an auction timer alarm closes (either automatically or by clicking on the screen), as a convenience mTZ will automatically position your cursor in the Bid field so you can immediately begin typing your bid.
[IMPROVED] - Support added for Firefox version 3 up to an including beta 2.
[FIXED] - Sorted results were sometimes not sorted correctly due to a change in eBay s internal page format. This has been fixed.
[FIXED] - Catgeory searches nested more than one level deep were not showing total column. This has been fixed.
[FIXED] - Sometimes the word at was not being added to dates on Bid History pages even when the user chose this option. This has been fixed.
[FIXED] - Setting for suppression of seconds display was not working properly (sometimes seconds were displayed even when chosen not to be). This has been fixed.
[FIXED] - Date values for `to
version 1.3.0 - posted on Sep 04, 2007
- [NEW FEATURE] Added option to highlight Total Price in red if shipping costs are unknown. Makes it easier to spot prices which don t include shipping.
[NEW FEATURE] Added option to automatically update currency rates daily in the background. If chosen, rates will be updated once a day directly from a small file on my own server. Currency rates are based on real time currency market data and I update them daily. This gives you very accurate currency conversion.
[NEW FEATURE] When searching by Category, search results are automatically sorted by lowest price within each individual category.
[NEW FEATURE] Items contained in the additional items section (found directly below some search results) now show their currency converted price as well.
[NEW FEATURE] Total Price column header now shows the type of currency prices are being converted to as a helpful reminder.
[IMPROVED] Processing is MUCH quicker due to a new optimized sorting method. Time/Price conversions are virtually instantaneous on search results pages in both listing and gallery view. - [IMPROVED] Code has been internally compressed to reduce overall file size.
[IMPROVED] Added a one-time alert message if the user wants to see Total Prices, but has forgotten to include the shipping cost column on the page (Total Prices can not be determined unless the shipping cost column is displayed).
[IMPROVED] More streamlined processing of pages on eBay motors. If no currency conversion is being performed, a Total Price column will not be displayed (because it is unnecessary).
[BUG FIX] Fixed problem where auction times would be converted on certain eBay pages even if that option was turned off by the user.
