 * Hey,
 * I am trying this plugin on my wordpress site and in my case, if someone submits
   a bid for a product on one computer, it does not reflect on other computers who
   are looking at same the product, without manually refreshing.
 * My question is that – auto refresh feature for the bid value-
    1) this feature
   a problem with my site? 2) this feature available in pro version only? 3) this
   feature is not available\implemented?
 * Thanks,
    Cherub.

 * There is an HTTP header flag which will automatically make the page refersh on
   it’s own .. [http://www.i18nguy.com/markup/metatags.html](http://www.i18nguy.com/markup/metatags.html)..
   that would have to be added somehow into your wordpress install and ONLY on the
   auction pages .. not sure if it’s even possible. Perhaps there’s an HTTP-META
   plugin for WP, that would be nice if you found one.
 * There are certainly HTML5/JS options that would allow persistent connections 
   between machine and server that would allow changes to be reflected immediately
   across machines (think google docs), but it’s probably not high on a to do list
   as it’s quite complicated to put in place.
 * 1) Rest assured, it’s not YOUR site.
    2) I’m not familiar with the PRO features
   but I would doubt it. 3) I would guess not at all implemented, but in theory 
   it is possible with arduous efforts.

 * Hi Cherub,
 * You are right that latest bid is not updated on other computer but my plugin 
   is built to handle it in a different way. Here is how it works:
 * 1. User A places bid of $100
    2. User B is seeing $80 bid as suggestion. He goes
   ahead and places $80 bid. Plugin would now detect that a higher bid has already
   been placed, so it throws a popup saying a high bid has been placed and then 
   it refreshes the auction page so that User B now sees correct bid.
 * Your ideal way of automatically updating other computers would involve polling
   mechanism which is way more technical as far as WP plugin is concerned and would
   make it bulky and slow down your site.
 * Try what I’ve suggested & you’ll see that it is fine the way it works.
 * Do let me know if you have any questions.
 * Cheers,
    Nitesh
