| i just learned of a new security feature that yahoo is putting in place. A Sign In Seal. basically it is a image that is unique to the computer and the computer owner that will show when a person goes to the sign in page. if that seal is not there then it will raise a red flag to a possible fraud site.\
\
here is a link to yahoo page on this feature\
https://protect.login.yahoo.com/\
\
i think this would be a GREAT feature to add in a future update |

| i know it is still using cookies and many people do delete them but i think it will help ease the mind of already registered users and new visitors knowing this little auction site is taking steps to help combat phishing attempts.\

if this or anything like it doesn't get added then its alright. there are other ways to help cut down on fraud.\
education is the biggest way in my honest opinion |
