Overstock Auctions has another new head of auctions. I believe this is the 50th :twistedevil: in the past 2 years. Stormy Simon is gone after 3 months, replaced by Meghan Tuohig

Greetings Folks,
My name is Meghan Tuohig and I work for Overstock.com Auctions.
A goal of mine for the New Year is to establish a closer relationship to the customers of Overstock.com Auctions. After spending time observing the message board activity from afar, I would like to partake in the conversation and hope that you welcome me into this lively community. I look forward to actively participating in board discussions on a regular basis  not only to declare site modifications, request feedback, and clarify possible confusion, but to also become better acquainted with you.
IÂm excited to announce the functionality that will be released to the site on Monday, January 22nd. Keep your eyes peeled for the following changes early next week:
 Non-paying bidder timelines modified  Sellers will be able to report a non-paying bidder after 7 days, though not after 30, of an auctionÂs close. In addition, the reported buyer will have 7 days (not 14) to provide proof of payment.
 View counter revived  We heard that sellers missed this feature, so weÂre bringing it back.
 Ask user a question links removed from user homepages  To minimize phishing emails, protect customers from fraud, and to discourage off-site transactions, users will only be able to contact a seller from the item detail page. Users will still have the ability to invite friends into their personal network and will be encouraged to communicate through comments to friends and through the message boards.
I look forward to these enhancements and hope you do as well.
Enjoy the weekend!
Sincerely,
Meghan
By the way, IÂll soon have a forum within the O-Management Corner and could use your help in naming it. Any suggestions?
O CEO Byrne Wrote:Meghan is too modest to mention it, but she is the boss of Overstock Auctions. Stormy wrestled through some necessary changes before moving on to another project ( know some may disagree, I know, but this is already a far healthier ecosystem than it was a few months ago). Meghan is running the place now.
