I cannot view this website properly...

Hi guys,

I have been trying to view this website www.readysteadybid.com and for some reason the timers do not count down properly.

I have contacted the company and they say there is no problems from there end and I have checked on my mates computer and it works fine, but it just won't work on mine.

I have a Macbook and use a Belkin Mimo wireless router on a 10MB connection.

Any ideas anyone?

There are timers when there are auctions live. They have finished for today i think until tomorrow.

So the site is working now?

basically i can see the whole website itself fine, but the timers which count down on live auctions, does not count down properly.

In the necessary proxy field(s), put the same settings in the HTTP field then
Click 'OK'

As it was purely the countdown timers he couldn't view I doubt if it's a DNS or PROXY issue, more likely to be either Java or Flash that needs updating.. and/or the web-browser itself.. especially as he's on a MAC

hi guys, strange one this. i am not sure if the proxy has made this difference but i clicked on the TV that is on there now and the timer still didnt count down. however, I apple-R the page to refresh it and it counts down ok. so when i click into it, it doesnt work but if i refresh the page once into it, it works fine.

Strange one!

Moved to INTERNET as it's not a VM problem
