Hey,

I'm having trouble posting a new item. It just takes me to a blank page when I click post :(

Everything ends at the same time Marty  :sneaky:  :evillaugh:

so if you're bidding on things you really want, best to open multiple tabs and then just concentrate on the couple that mean most to you.  :naughty:

At the stroke of 8pm no more bids will count, although your late bid will show on the thread, if the posting time was after 2000 it won't count.  :(

Make sure you look in again on the listings later today and through the week as there's more itesm being added daily - I've got another load to go on tonight when I've finished my chores, so do keep an eye on the thread, not just your bidding items.  ;D

The 20:00 cut off is just for Sunday.  When it all gets frantic at the end we need to have a "end time"

I find the easiest way is to synchronise your computer clock with the purrs clock by watching both and when the clock on your computer moves on a minute refresh the page and see if the Purrs clock has done the same and the seconds seem about right.  Not split second accuracy but pretty good.

Yes it does!   However, is this relevant before 1  December?  (Do we have a time for 'close'? - sorry I have just seen on another thread it is 2000 .. hope Corrie is not rescheduled for the same time!).

If you refresh the page then the "time" updates.

Ahhhh now I see your two yellow paw prints and you need to go way above that and the clock is under your name at top..............if you cant go any higher then there is a + or - sign on right of surporting Cat rescue. Click that and it will change the top.

Hope that solves this.

Presumably I have to wait until 1 December to see if I have won an auction.  Will I be notified and payment requested at the time?

Thanks.

This sounds like a good one Sam -I'll give it a go -  I think I turned my email replies off as I used get hundreds  :Crazy:

I've become quite proficient over the years at keeping tabs on my listed items lol  mind you this year I seem to have taken over the board  :-:

You can also do the same by clicking on the "subject" ... this is good to see the items listed alphabetically .. useful where there are several lots of the same items!

I just open the thread then click on the "started by" and this sorts the items by the name of the person who listed it ... this is an easy way to check on items you have listed.   ;)

This is probably a daft question - but if we add an item to the auction, how do we get a notification so say someone has bid?. As I like to try and keep on top of things so I know where I am, and I dont have to trawl through everything.   :birth 2:  have to use this little fella I just love his little trumpy feet  :Luv:
