My programmers are telling me that you will need Sun's Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4 installed on your PC. The auction client is a java applet which will not work without the JRE.

You can find downloads for different operating systems here http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html

Test your system by going here http://tauction.dnforum.com/client/client.html. If you get a gray square with login blanks, you're good to go.

If you have any troubles with the test, download and install the latest version of Netscape. It works fine without having to install anything.

A reminder: Auction Night will change to Saturday after this Sunday's auction.

No way Jose. That was bad enough with only 138 names. I was mentally exhausted after last week's auction. We're over 200 now, so it would be much worse.

Greg, can you e-mail the "(JRE) version 1.4" instructions to everyone, and give them a heads up about Sundays auction?

I considered doing that. I'm reluctant to. For one reason I went from never sending an email mailout to sending 2 in 2 weeks already. The other thing is even my own moderators don't necessarily read the email. One of them asked a question about the auction that was clearly stated in the second email.

I can only imagine the load you're carrying for this right now. I thought it would take some of the load off by informing those who read their e-mail from the forum. Maybe you can send out one that says something like this. This way you can help those who want it, and it gets you a nice little list. Maybe this would work in the future, as your plate is full right now.

Do you get emails telling you someone has replied to your thread?

No, I turned it off. But I think I get mail through the email function.

Installed and ready for sunday..

However I think like some other people here said that maybe something should be done to inform others about what they need to download.. many reasons like for dialup people who come in and have to unexpectedly download a 9MB file and might not get it in time, hopefully most everyone will read this thread though. :cool:

Gregr,

Has/will the auction be tested on dialup? What are the results? I'm stuck with a hotel room and I don't know if they have highspeed connections.

Looking forward to DNForum Auctions v2.0:)

We're flying by the seat of our pants. The auction will be the test.

Thanks for the ... reassurance, Gregr!! ;)

Just kidding, of course ... I KNOW for a fact you guys are busting your stones to make this work for all of the membership.
PS. Please note how I use the "quote button" now, too. Smile.
Take care and Good Luck.

The auction won't take place in the chat room Sunday. We're developing a separate auction client. If you already have Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4 installed, you are good to go.

I suggest to everyone that's bidding on more than a couple of names, that you create a list of the names you plan to bid on, along with your maximum bid. The pace of the auction will be fast and furious and you're going to need that cheat sheet. :)

Correct. The 'required $1 Starting bids are to BEGIN on Saturday, 1/25 ... as I understand it!
Good Luck.
