Time and bid amount not changing close to auction's end

#261540271601 Hi! Love your website. It's such a pleasure after trying to make do with auctionstealer. Your software worked and placed my 1st bid, but unfortunately I was outbid. The reason I'm writing though is because the main page isn't keeping track of the time and bid amounts. When I redrew the page about 10 minutes from the auction end it updated the time but not the current amount bid. It also didn't change the time left after that at all in the last minutes of the auction. Isn't it supposed to every minute at the end? Please let me know! Would love the thumbnail photos of the items imported with the items and the # of bids if possible. Very nice of you to do a site like this. Thanks!

The website does not perform real time updates, especially of price, it is too costly in terms of resources to update everyone's snipes with a current price all the time.

The time is only updated when the page has been updated for some reason... for example when a snipe has been added using the web interface, if the fields are left blank and either the 'Add' button is pressed or if you toggle between the Mirror and Main displays using the tabs.

If you prefer real time updates the Gixen Desktop Manager is the way to achieve this as it uses your own computer to get the updates in price direct from Ebay.

You can display small/thumbnail images if you have a Mirror subscription... the option is off by default, you have to enable it on the 'Settings' page that you get after pressing the Settings button near the top of the page.
