I would love a web based portal since the current portal is not available for macs.

*cough* what about the privacy issue? will my sales and data remain private? o_x
I actually like having it on my computer. I don't always have internet so its cool to have stuff offline..
However the portability and easy of use of a web based app would be really cool. I wouldn't have to worry about linux compatibility issues.
Overall my vote goes to stand alone app on my PC. (Is resilient to change!)
i would prefer to keep the standalone program.
i already have too many darned tabs, and what if (gasp!) neomallers ever went down for any period of time?
There will be both versions of the portal but the web one is going to take longer simply because i have to watch for security and create a verification input that the inputted junk is actually sales history junk and not database drop commands ;)
And users will be sharing a database so i gotta make sure one person's stuff dont end up in another person's etc etc.
As for privacy, no one else will have access to it except maybe admin but we got better things to do than going through a 270k+ entry database :P

That sounds good then :)
Yeah I get that the security would be a pain in the neck, but sounds like you can do it if you had more time.

Well I just contacted my host, and it does seem that i need to upgrade (and i probably will have to eventually) to power the new sales history portal:
the prices arent too bad since we can get a dedicated server for $70 a month. but that's $896 a year. Usually ded. servers are about $300 a month
Or for $500 a year, we can get a semi-dedicated server

Dmitri, do you get anything out of neomallers besides the joy of helping Neopians with their malling? You really put a lot of time and money into this.
