What's up with Mears???

[MikeKam]

Did they just close down the auction or did the site crash?

Site crashed - I was on the phone with Troy and it was definitely stuck.

I'm interested in seeing how they handle this. One side will be fighting for the items will be auctioned off again while the other will want it to be how it is.

Yeah, I just spoke with Troy again. The site (according to what I can tell) went down at 7:50 Central, the 15-minute rule still began at 8:00, ended at 8:15...then the site came back up. So basically, no bidding during the 15-minute rule. You really can't end an auction without having the 15-minute period, so there isn't any argument from auction winners that will hold up.

We'll probably get an email in a minute, announcing the re-opening for the 15-minute period.

I managed to place a bid during the 15 minute rule.

Then it makes even less sense - that means that the 15-minute rule didn't actually work. When I checked the auction when I finally got in at 8:17, it was closed.

reopened - 46:18 left

I placed several bids during the 15 minutes---I had no trouble with the site at all the entire night

Happening again, I wonder what the problem is as it seems to be a recurring issue.

We are aware that there is an issue and we have not yet been able to isolate the problem yet. We are working to resolve it as quickly as possible and in. The meantime Troy has extended the closing to begin at 11:00pm (Central). I apologize for the issue and I will update this post as we figure out what is wrong. Thanks for your understanding.

Update, we have reset the application pool (a soft reboot) and it seems to have resolved the issue

Nope, whenever I click a subcategory it still crashes.
