[quote="Trnbob"]I am using Gixen for the first time today, and have signed up for Mirror. I have successfully manually entered two items. Now I am trying to import my Watch List and/or a Gixen list I have just created. I have about 15 eligible items (auctions, pending, etc., not Buy It Now, I haven;t already bid) in my watch list and have entered a couple items on a Gixen list (281116564449, 390607432662, 161041059512) to test with. But when I try to import either list, system connects, ponders things, screen blinks, nothing changes. I am assuming additional items should appear on the screen to be possibly edited into snipes, but have nothing to go by to know what should be happening; no examples.[/quote]
