This project is being developed for the Trade Me community in New Zealand to help improve their online auction experiences. Recently the layout of Trademe's website was changed to the dissatification of many of their user. The new layout seems to be focused on making the owners of Trademe more money through increased page views rather than improve the user-friendlyness of the site. This sofware application which I am releasing as freeware aims to provide users with the old layout that they have been accustomed to over the past few years. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is a common phrase used by trade me's users on their discussion boards. So those of you who want the old layout back, here it is.
In order to use this you need to download and install the "TM Kiwi Auction Browser". You will need to use this 3rd party application in instead of Internet Explorer when you want to browse the auction website. This project is currently in Beta mode as I aim to continue to improve the product to evolve it into a useful online auction companion product. I would appreciate feedback and your suggestions to improve this product so I plan to put a discussion forum on this webpage.

Notice how you can view around 18 auction listings in the list using Kiwi Auction Browser as apposed to 7 listings on TradeMe's website using Internet Explorer?
Download Kiwi Auction Browser
This is FREEWARE and as it is a BETA version we are seeking your help to report any bugs or errors that you find through our messageboard forums.
So far I have personally tested it on Windows XP with Internet Explorer 7, and Windows 2000 with IE6.
