Quote from: 'trout' pid='80631' dateline='1444701762'It is the Incused type and Walter has kindly offered to send it away and get this sorted out, This is just another reason why "Numisbid" is such a user friendly option to sell coins :yahoo:

Walter, you rock Mate :good:

Would this then become ...... "The Walter Divine Huh?"

(sorry it's past my bed time :lazy2:)

This coin along with a few others I won over the last couple of days are already in the mail and on their way.
Now THAT is service :yahoo:

not a winner but rather a loser, tried to bid on several items but there seemed to be problems. got a bit aggravated when I saw the auction still running and others able to bid and items even getting passed in because of IT issue.
Waste of time tonight and I (like others) left early
hope no one here was selling in tonight's auctions

Yes tonight's auction was a bit second rate, started off with a good room full bidders then heaps left the table.
Walter has been having some problems lately with the numisbid site, I hope he sorts it out before the next auction.

Sorry about the stuff ups last night, we've compensated affected vendors with the difference between the Blue Sheet price and the price realised. I'm still investigating what happened, but it looks like an unrelated issue caused excessive load on the server during the auction. I'll need to confirm this to ensure it doesn't happen during our next auction.

This isn't the 1st time this has happened, it has all the hallmarks of a targeted DOS (denial of service) I would suggest speaking to your isp about allocating bandwidth/cpu usage to registered users during auctions and locking out the site to un-registered users while an auction is active.
It seems that someone may be trying to adversely affect your buisness

I was not there so couldn't see what was happening ... So not sure what was happening ... In saying that Numisbid site is unusually slow all the time ( not during auctions )... You might want to track performance and see what is happening ... It could well be a DOS attack. However I would start at looking at your own server configurations before jumping in to conclusions .... Good luck and hope the issue will be fixed before the next auction ...

I've checked our logs, it was due to excessive load though not a DOS attack. The browse auction pages were running extremely slowly (5-20 sec per request) so it looks more like people repeatedly refreshed the page as it appeared not to be loading rather than foul play.

I've created a fix for the underlying issue slowing the listing page so that should fix the problem.

Numisbid has had a total "Facelift".
I'm having a bit of a "Squizz " now, So far it looks great :good:

ausproofs · November 24, 2015, 09:50:19 PM

I just had a look, home page is looking very good. However "my numisbid" section is a whole different story... needs some UI/UX work... happy to provide some feedback to Walter if required... may be it needs some testing ...

trout · November 30, 2015, 02:33:42 PM

I sent a few coins to Walter on consignment and I am sitting here refreshing the site as he lists them.
I imagine that it would involve quite a bit of work taking images, cropping them and then adding them to the listing database with a description and estimate of each coin.
At a minimum of $8 per coin I think I am getting excellent value for money as I sit on my Bum and Walter is doing all the work for me :angel:
Beats the hell out of using eBay by a huge margin :yahoo:

Thanks Walter, you are a Gem Mate :good:

Hey Walter,

Here are my comments.( I have used a Samsung tablet to do this review)

My Bid List

1. Item information is spread very broadly on the screen, this is impacting the UX. It would have been better if you had the information in a table format or similar with the coin picture on the right had side with bid amount, estimate under the picture (or similar). This would also allow you to put larger pictures utilizing the real estate.

2. It would be bettre to have the bid amount and estimate bigger (more dominant) as those details are the heros on this page.

3.I can not see my maximum proxy bid anymore this is very important to include as well.

4. You have put tabs on the top for multiple objectives. You should have a navigation bar with grouped objectives. Currently you have a place bid button, not sure what function that button is there for. It would be better to have a single tab with all bids. Outbid items should have an indicator to show it is an out bid item... having separate tabs make it harder for the user to see what they need to know in one screen ( one click too much )...

5. If possible you should have the tabs to be bit more dominant. (Ie . Similar to chrome tabs, essier to navigate)

6. There was a tab previously for items missed. That is not there anymore.

7. Look and feel of the main menu (one on the top right corner) as well as the function changes from page to page.. the menu users get on the home page is different to what you find on the my numisbid page. Inconsistent experience.

8. Better to have a good navigation bar on the left hand side or on the top that is present 100% time (ie ha.com, smh.com.au etc). Easier for people to find what they want.

These are some of comments. I will have a nother look on my laptop later... Please take this as constructive criticism.

Thank you and hope to see some nice coins soon on your site...:wavemulticolor:
