You can now check domains that expired today as the old site.
Also domain watchlist is now working - read the top of the landing page. I'll check IE9.
Link is in the 'Downloads' box that opens up when you click the link on the dropping page.

Appreciate the work you put into this update.

 

[RobM]

Thanks for the kind words. It's always a PITA when a site changes with no warning but I did this to provide more stats and easier to gather info for people. I've had a lot of feedback, mostly good but some negative, and I'm trying to implement what I can. I do take everything on board as it's mostly constructive - I do tend to ignore the 'omg it sux' emails unless they have a reason

+1 for the thanks Rob. Good improvements.

Rob - any chance you could cache the page size we select please mate?

 

[RobM]

Done Martin. Along with various other things including permanent (insecure on public network) login.

Thanks for all the updates Rob.

Thanks Rob.

Another quick suggestion. When back ordering a name, could it check whether the name has already been renewed please?

 

[martin-s]

Maybe it could automatically check scheduled catches once a day too - just to free up POC credits if no longer available?

 

[RobM]

The system checks domain availability and catches every hour. PM me with details of any that it didn't but, take for example today, a domain dropped 30-90 minutes ago, wasn't caught, and the person placing the backorder already refunded.

Also, if you could sort by the back order column to see what other people have already taken?

I'm not the only lazy git who thought that might be handy then lol

 

[RobM]

Ok you can now sort that column although I still can't understand why you want to. You can either backorder the domain if it's available or not backorder it - whether it's already been reserved seems irrelevant to me.

 

[martin-s]

Thanks Rob. I guess that depends if you have your own script as well

So that people can compete with you to catch it, since they know someone wants it

We buy Rob's service because it makes finding domains worth catching simpler...

 

[RobM]

Heh anything of any worth is going to be backordered at many places. There is no difference to me of seeing what is backordered as opposed to typing in a name to find it is already backordered.
Remember when I let multiple people backorder a domain they complained. When I didn't show them without them typing it in they complained. When I did show them they complained. At the end of the day if a domain is deemed good enough it won't matter if it's depicted as already backordered or not. I can go to other dropcatchers and find out what is backordered and what isn't. It will just take more typing.

Another idea Rob: Could we have a date filter on the expired domains page?
