I'm having intermittent problems navigating on Afternic.

Anyone else having trouble this morning?

How do you know the "pending" sales disappeared? Could the potential buyer have finally cleared their shopping cart?
it was joke you didnt get it. It was because there are none pending

Not just afternic, same with GoDaddy's registration path, appraisal path, and premium listings

I think they're trying something new where if you enter keywords at godaddy without an extension, it would normally show if the .com was available/taken by default, now if the .com is taken, it's automatically showing the name is available but under a different extension in main registration path. Not smart IMO. Going to cause confusion, people registering the wrong addresses thinking they were getting a .com, and sacrificing .COM premiums over 20-$30 regs under different extensions. Pushing what people don't want rather than better highlighting/showcasing premium alternatives.

User experience a few minutes ago, after Login.

Well looks like the site is still moving along with the errors, got a sold domain request about an hour ago, and it has been auth coded over to Godaddy, so looks like things are still working behind the scenes.

I know. Seems they are working on it. I hope they are not letting the GD techs handle it. :)

Works with a number of errors. After a few refreshes and relogins. Something is not working OK, today and also yesterday. Yesterday: a number of my domains from 2 recently added batches mystically became "in review", even though all were successfully listed with fast transfer in November - December. Today: Navigation issues. Tomorrow: ..?.. <crossing fingers>

I'm seeing this strange review status too. After a bulk change of BIN prices I'm not able to access my portfolio

They have problem since they build this useless website

Issues like this can be nail-biting due to the trust that we instill in these companies to protect our highly valued domain name assets. Anytime there is a glitch in the system, there can always be a concern for the probability of a hacker wanting to manipulate and capitalize off of a company's software error. :xf.cool:

Yes I have seen some outages recently. Also its time for an overhaul for their website, given new interfaces like Dan, etc.

@NYJimbo I have the same error in my account for months. But I have already done the payment thing too many times to even talk about so I am not about to click on that again. So I just try to ignore it.

There was an issue yesterday but it is resolved. They were working on updating the back end and that was causing some issues until it was completed and fixed.

Yeah, I saw this before. Afaik it should be autofixed by itself in ~24 hours. But the system is far from stable now :(

Maybe it is different here (use Canadianized version) but GoDaddy search has always worked the way you describe for me. Let's say I search for Word1Word2.com and it is not available. They show me alternatives like Word1-Word2.com the plural, the .org or .net or .info if available, and a few exact matches in new extensions. I can't see anything different today from last week in the search.

So if I search a single word, not usually available in .com, .net or .org, usually they will show me that word in some new extensions and country code, and also will try to guess a similar word. Like if I look for excellent they will show me superb if it is available.

This is really bad

Same here, Afternic is terrible to work with (Germany). Best if you log out and log in again when error messages arrive. There is a bigger chance that it works again after that.

Similar Godaddy, tried to renew a name but didn´t appear in my shopping cart until I logged out and in again.

Happy Holidays
