This morning when I launched Auction Sieve I have not been able to view anything that was found in the searches. I have emptied the cache and restarted Safari. I can get my eBay, but still can not view anything that AuctionSieve found.

First off... Great Progam!!!
We got Auction Sieve last week and have been using the heck out of it. I opened it up this morning to look for some more things and am having the same problem, clicking view opens a window like it had been doing, but then returns "The page cannot be displayed" after a few seconds. I'm not sure if it this helps, but I noticed that the pages that its trying to open are www.qksrv.net(etc.etc.etc.). I checked my host file and whatnot to no avail. I know that when it was using ads.doubleclick.net (at least I think thats what it used to show) it was working great. I don't know if this info is any help or not, but thought I'd post it none the less. Getting auctions still works and I can still put them in my watch list, just can't view the pages.

I did a little debugging of the URL getting sent to my browser, clicking view tries to open...
"http://www.qksrv.net/click-1430525-5463217?loc=http%3A//cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D6135151023%26category%3D63759"

this breaks down to trying to open page...
"http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6135151023&category=63759"

When I copy and paste that into my browser it goes to the correct page, but its a lot of hassle, hope this is helpful.

I'm getting the same error. I tried using all combinations of the settings in the Tools>Options>Browser with no luck. The only way for me to access auctions is to save them to the watchlist, then copy the auction number into the search field on ebay. I checked my hosts file with no luck and am able to access www.qksrv.net directly. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Update:

After suspecting the qksrv.net was triggering something, I rechecked my settings and found that my Kerio Personal Firewall had the "block advertisements" option activated. Once I deactivated that option the problem was resolved.
