Hunt Thread

[ajw]

Because someone asked, I was using Firefox. I also use the "No Script" add-on, so it's possible that blocking scripts somehow permitted me to see something I should not have. I highly doubt that's the case, though, as I am nearly certain that you could do the same thing using Internet Explorer.

I don't want to cause any more trouble, but I do think this is something that should be out there and discussed. To be honest, the information I saw would make it fairly easy to shill bidders. I have no idea if that happened, but that is the real risk here. With a minimal amount of computer skill, I suspect someone could have put together a list of every bid in the entire auction, along with the bidder's name and contact info.

I have had at least one person ask me how I was able to see what I did. I'm confident I did not do anything wrong, but I'm not really sure I should share the information. I don't know if Hunt fixed their site, but I'm not able to see the same information in the same way I did last night. Another poster above said he was able to just a few hours ago. Perhaps he's more tech savvy than I am.

Honestly, I think it might help if someone from Hunt showed up and made some sort of statement. I don't want to fan the flames any, but I also think that other bidders have a right to know what happened, why, and how Hunt is going to fix it.

I'm obviously not a regular here, but I do really respect the Net54 community. I'm not trying to cause trouble, so please let me know if I step over any lines I'm not aware of.
