My Question is this. When goto search the regions for particular market goods, it doesnt select. I highlight the regions but it says that no regions are selected. I have tried searching, but the only ways that insure a result, are if I selct Empire regions or all regions. Please help. I would appreciate an e-mail but will try to come back to the site. Thanks for the time invested. Take Care and God Bless, Ian If this is for EVE-Central where info about the market is given for the game EVE Online, then I have a question, if not, please disreguard this.

But! :) Have you considered making it possible to query the DB for a specific item, and get back the answers in a very abbreviated form? I'm thinking of ways to keep a killboard accurate with respect pricing, and doing it all by hand isn't something I envision enjoying. To stop server abuse, you could even require a token on the query side, and ban tokens that query too often. Thinking something like: Query: mytoken=AB423D&itemid=8089&data=averagebuy Answer: 129217 An extended full dump might just say mytoken & itemid=0. How badly would something like this hurt your bandwidth? Seeing that this is probably as good a spot as any to ask :)
