This has now happened to me twice in the past week. When I refresh, the page still shows that I have the top bid on a player. But apparently it does NOT in fact refresh and I end up losing the player even though it LOOKS like I am either going to win or have indeed won. please look into this for me. Thank you. The playerid today was 3216630 (and there is another player with exactly the same name 5537915

Try Ctrl-F5, it will give you an unconditional refresh.

Today an auction for a player I wanted ended a full 30 seconds before my BB clock reached the stated auction end time.

then you shouldn't wait untill the last seconds to bid. It's useless anyway, since the deadline will be extended every time a bid is made.

Well, don't expect a magical solution that will keep your game clock synchronized at all times. This is just not going to happen.

Do you need an explanation or a possible solution? I gave the latter. Bid earlier.

Above and beyond when I bid and didn't bid the clock was/is still wrong which is a bug, minor at best, but something to look at for the developers. I just hope the solution to other future bugs isn't "change your behavior, not the problem."

I am sure the site can auto-refresh unconditionally every 5 seconds in order to keep the local clock synchronized to the server clock. I am also positive that even though this will solve your problem, you wouldn't really like it on all sorts of other levels. Other than that, there is really no easy way to fix this.

I can't believe it. Do you want to say, that there is a problem to send correct time? Time I got from BB was desychronized against time used on TL about 1 minute.
I reloaded page several seconds before my last (unsuccessful) bid. There must be some bug on BB server side, I'm persuaded. Btw, I have never hit the problem like this on HT during 5 years.
Btw, why there is not button for refresh on player page when he is on TL?
