This s.... happened to me twice today. I'm trying to find young Croatian player with high potential, and when I finally found two of them in same day, f...... TL f.... me both times. I'm biding on player, refreshing page every 30 seconds for 30 minutes. Finally, no one overbids. Open my player’s page... player is't there. Look again... he is on that other manager team.

Please don't tell me that i did something wrong because i have lot of experience with TL here and on HT. I learned my lessens well. Also, one time -page not available- happened to me at the end of biding. This problem happened to many other users, also while biding.

Please, shut down game and fix these problems. This way, you are only loosing players and many of them, me included, like to be here but not if this kind of s.... continue.

Just trying to factor out what the problem is here:

- opposing player's bids didn't show up for you during the bidding
- "page not available" happened once near the end of the bidding

Is that right?

1. His bids did show. I was biding with him for 30 min. Last one didn’t show. I hit refresh 3 or 4 time in that lest bid and every time my bid was shown.

2.Yes. That happened while I was biding for first one. To be sure that my connection wasn’t lost, I opened other site and did it without any problem. I hit refresh for couple of times but with same result. Other users complain about that also.

@ kukoc. As far as I knew, there isn’t any problem with my connection. While I was biding, I manage my tactics, searching for other players on TL. So, connection isn’t issue here.

Perhaps it was a browser issue. Refresh sometimes does not work for me aswell. I always click on the bids section under tools for current info on my transfers. There have been problems with the 3 min additional time not added sometimes that's why I suggest not playing with next game tactics and surfing the TL while you need to bid on a player that you must have. About a minute left on transfer deadline you should refresh or check more often than 30 sec intervals, 10 sec should be better. If he bid's on him 40 sec before deadline and 3 min will not be added then with different server timing issues he might get him 30 sec or so before the deadline. So actually you just might of missed it while doing something else.

i personally am very surprised by this complaint, I would have thought more people would have been making more of a fuss over this if it were seriously flawed. As is generally true, if this is an intermittent problem it is much more difficult to address... nevertheless we will take a second look at our biding code and see if we can see anything silly happening. More reports are useful as well.... simultaneous observation from mutliple computers/multiple browers especially, in order to isolate as to whether it is a browser/cache issue or something on the backend.
