Proxy Bidding has Arrived !!!

[Fearless]

Get your proxy bids in. With 250+ names in the next auction, proxy bids will accelerate the auction. We don't want the auction going all night.

Excellent. Good Luck to all on Sunday p.m.

I put up one domain, OnProperties.com, and it's the only one in Sunday's list that doesn't have a proxy link. What did I do wrong? Thanks.

You can't bid on your own name.

I joked about it earlier, but it might make more sense to have the "BID!" text still there, but unlinked and greyed out, with the word "(Yours)" in small text underneath it. It's good that you can't bid, but the interface could be more intuitive.

Maybe:
WARTHOG.COM "Good for a portal site!" BID!
UTTERCOOLNESS.COM "Great Name!" YOUR NAME

Best,

Or Maybe:

WARTHOG.COM "Good for a portal site!" BID!
UTTERCOOLNESS.COM "Great Name!" YOUR NAME (changing to) CURRENT BID =

That way you could see if you had any bids (as long as others couldn't!).

I would like to make one request with respect to proxy bidding. I would like to place several proxy bids, but each time you place one, the only link on the confirming page is back to the DNF home page. Then I have to click my way back into the auction list again. Could a second link be added on the confirmation page back to the auction list, so people can continue making proxy bids?

I agree Duke, it is rather cumbersome. Maybe gregr wants the extra page hits

If you made a proxy bid you would know the link is there.
