Changes to the "current price" refresh mechanism

[mario]

Some changes are being introduced:

Current price will no longer be refreshed real-time for non-subscribers. A background process will do this periodically. While some users may find this inconvenient, it will in fact make sniping more reliable, as prices / end times will be refreshed every couple of hours instead of once a day.

Mirror users will still have their prices refreshed real-time.

This change should result in less problems at the front-end that became common lately despite frequent server upgrades.

Mario, I normally have a lot of snipes scheduled at any time (currently I have ~50) and I see that the current bid price is not accurately reflected for many of these. I've tried logging out & logging back in, but still no updated prices. Is there a limit to the number of scheduled snipes that prevents the current price from being updated? Thanks.

No, I found an issue. It's resolved, prices should update in a few hours at most. Note that this would not affect sniping in any way.

Thank you for the notice.
