I am having problems post items on the "Auction Arms" auction site . I know that they use a system called "cold fusion" and was wondering if that has anthything to do with my inabality to post my items on their site.

"Cold Fusion" is server based technology, just like ASP or PHP. It is mostly used to serve dynamic web pages and link them to database.

So the answer would be "No", XP or your browser has nothing to do with compatibility with "Cold Fusion".

Thanks for the comback STeel .Please! take a look at this Error message and see what you make of it.

It looks like your itemname is too long - try shortening it to 50 characters.

You should send this error output to auction support.

As i see it, it has something to do with string parsing, it could be use of illegal characters, data string being too long or major bug in their code.

STeel: Thanks again for the comback . The auction site told me that I had to many characters in one of my catagories but that was not the case . They told me I should limit my posting to less than 50 characters . But that was simply not the case . None of my postings had anywhere near 50 characters so it's a problem on their end . Thanks again for your expertice . I really appreciate it . I thought at first that it had something to do with my XP OS . Thanks ,revrat.
