Bid blocked on GoDaddy on final minute of auction.

[hookbox]

I was bidding on a name that was going back and forth between a few of bidders. I waited until the final minute to place my last bid and the bid was blocked. Godaddy did not allow the bid to be accepted. It didn't say it was blocked but the system froze up until the auction ended and then sent me to the name is not available" page.

First time this has happened. Has anyone else experienced this during an auction.

Perhaps; about 4 weeks ago. There was roughly 35 seconds on the auction, I placed a bid, the site didn't seem to respond and my cursor showed the rotating thinking-circle-thing. I couldn't refresh the page until (by guesstimate) a few seconds after the auction countdown had finished. I just assumed it was a broadband fart.

the pages lock up pretty often for me too. I always keep another window open on Godaddy auctions main page just incase.

It happened to me again last night (US daytime). This time from 15 seconds out.

When it happens, I am unable to access Godaddy auctions from any tab/window.

What about from a different browser?

I haven't tried - I'll make a point of doing so next time I am bidding and report the results back to this thread.
