A sneak peek of features BQB will be implementing (most are free of charge!) over the next 2 weeks. Some of the features coming soon include:

1. 20 new store templates, 60+ new templates for regular listings

2. RSS Feeds + better search engine indexing meta tag system for your store

3. Ability to review a members store -- essentially providing feedback for a store. Eg. "While I haven't bought anything off Reece on BQB, I've done business with him several times on Namepros and he has always pushed my domains quickly and responded in a polite manner. Would recommend him to anyone!" -- Great way to help members who don't know you have increased confidence in conducting business with you.

4. Ability to respond to feedback given. Great for preventing any feedback extortion or to help justify why feedback was given. Can even be an additional way to recognize your good buyers and sellers by leaving them a response to the feedback they gave you letting everyone know how great a member they are.

5. Ability to have an avatar listed in all your auctions

6. Proxy/IP tracking and banning system which should make it much easier to make sure problem users don't signup multiple times (or sign up once again after being banned). Ability to block out new signups from full regions (or countries if necessary) to ensure the security of existing members is preserved.

7. User-friendly store URL's based on a members username.

8. Ability to stay logged in until you choose to logout (please be careful to make sure you always logout if using a public computer once this feature is implemented). It works based on stored cookies, so it's really your choice if you'd like to use this feature or not -- set your privacy Internet Options to block cookies (or just clear your cookies at the end of your use each time you visit BQB) and this feature is essentially disabled for your account.

9. Optional auction subtitle line - great way to get a little extra exposure.

10. Categories without items won't be displayed on BQB until there are items listed in them. This makes navigating the site easier to follow with less options which won't yield potential sales. You can of course choose to list your domain in any category currently on (whether visible or invisible) the BQB homepage or subcategory pages. Once any domains are listed in a category, that category will appear on the BQB homepage and/or under the relevant subcategories.

11. Ability to track how many people are watching your listings.

12. Search by auction id -- as long as you know the auction number (present at the top of every auction page), you can easily find any listing you may be interested in but have chosen not to watch.

13. Much more detailed FAQ/Help section

14. Username/Pass login moved to underneath the blue navigation bar (will be given a new style which is more space efficient)

15. New logo

16. Installation of a customer support forum for BQB. It will be integrated into the software and all current members will have accounts created for them automatically. Due to very high security needs of an auction platform, it will be a simple, stripped down forum (no java, no html, nothing which could pose significant security threats). It's intended to help new members out, let people meet other members, announce new features, allow suggestions, and the ability to report bugs and/or troubleshoot problems members are having. It's not being designed to compete with existing domain name forums.

17. Simplified bulk listing software which will be posted on BQB, downloadable, and much easier to use than at present. It will allow members to upload 1000 domains in approximately 10 minutes once configured for listing.

There might be some unexpected downtime during this period, however we'll do our best to minimize whatever downtime does occur. We create multiple full site backups daily across 2 different backup providers in order to minimize any data loss or downtime that could occur due to the complexity often involved in installing new features on a highly modified website.

We're always open to future suggestions -- please send us a message anytime via "Support" on the blue navigation bar.
