Important Read This if You Want to Bid Sunday Night!

Fearless · Jan 16, 2003

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.

I can get in... i see the screen. Buttons are disabled. All seems to be as intended.

So how much DNF are we paying to get into the beta test?

Just as well. Without the grease, the sideways buggering might have been quite painful.

Oh my - I can see I'd better jump in here and pull this thread back out of the gutter!

Just got a chance to check it on my home machine and it popped right up (Win XP / IE 6). I was stuck at the log in screen Sunday, so this is one small step for man, one giant leap for sideways buggering (to paraphrase Neil Armstrong).
