Pro Versus Standard Edition

Below are the primary differences in the pro version versus the standard version. The pro version offers:

• Multiple image upload capabilities. (maximum number of uploads allowed is set by the administrator).
• Ad comparison options. Users can check up to three ads in the display list and see them listed side-by-side for comparison purposes.
• Greater ad totals capacity. Extends the total number of ads that can be posted to the system to potentially an unlimited number.
• Exclusive "Image Preview" feature. When a user puts his/her mouse over an image link in the ad list, a thumbnail preview is displayed. On the ad detail page, the full size image is displayed.
• Server cached ad list pages. An exclusive to Active Web Suite Technologies, an intelligent process to create "static ad listing" pages that are only updated if ad data changes. The end result is better efficiency and faster load time on high volume sites. Plus better data protection as your main ad databases are not being constantly parsed to generate dynamic ad listing results.
• Sound enabled navigational menu. A cool new feature adding a small sound wave to your navigational menu when a user moves his/her mouse over a menu item. (I.E. Feature Only).
• Sleek all new admin program design. We've redesigned the admin interface making it easier to navigate and work with your system.
• Streamlined user program design. Using style sheets, we've taken the design of the classifieds system into the next generation.
