marketplace updates

[Mark L. Chang]

new:

  cookies are back. now, each time you enter a sub-market, a cookie gets
  stored on your computer that marks the time you visit. the front page
  (browse.php) will use those cookies to tell you how many new ads are
  in each sub-market. I think the format is ugly (Cars [105/0 new]), so
  someone, please give me some ideas on how it should look. I personally
  can't stand it, but can't think of anything better that conveys how
  many ads there are, and how many new ads.

  you can toggle brief or long descriptions now. these are stored in a
  cookie as well, so your selection is remembered for the next time you
  visit. this selection applies to all sub-markets.

  there is an agreement page that you must "agree" to before you can
  post a new ad. I think that should cut down on the number vorboten
  ebay and referral ads.
