I am so glad it's not just me. The husband and I went out on a date night and I totally forgot. Noticed the clock and jumped on and was freaking out it wasent working 🤣

I thought it was just my phone lol

Well, I know in the past, Dave has fixed it and given a delayed restart rather than just leaving it for those still lurking.... I'm cool either way, but just wanted to mention it for the newbies

Do we keep waiting or do we know for sure if Dave is aware of the problem?

... I know the answer. We keep waiting. Hilarious!

Maybe we should all agree to just save the tickets issued tonight until tomorrow at 7pm. It would give all players a chance and Dave time to repair the problem.

Lisa, I was thinking same. If none of us bid, it stays the same.
But we all have to agree/and see this thread, not sure all participants are....

What do you say Jess @JessabelleJLH ? Have you been in touch with Dave? Or should we call it a night and agree to continue tomorrow night?

I'm fine either way. Jus would b nice to know which way it's gonna go as I have to little people that need attention an can't afford to sit here an wait forever. Guess if it starts an I'm not around it would b rather disappointing to not get things on the wish list but that's life I guess! Can't have everything !

I've messaged Dave directly and will update in this thread once I know more.

Since so many have indicated that you would like to wait, I think that's probably the best course of action. I'm not sure if there's a way to do it with the system or if we will go on the honor system.

Stay tuned!

Well, Jess didn't answer yet so that makes me think she's in contact with Dave trying to resolve the problem?? I hope I hope...

Hopefully, she'll come over here soon to have contact with us... otherwise I guess we'll all agree to call it a night. Thumbs up

You all should have received a Tree-mail from me, but I'm cross posting to make sure everyone is aware.

Trading is suspended for a day.

We'll resume at 4 pm PST/7 pm EST tomorrow (Friday 2/11). This will be on the honor system since I don't have any way to control that.

I haven't heard back from Dave yet, but I'll post here once I have more information.

Thanks for your patience y'all!

I'm fine waiting. I have to get cooking so I'll hop back on later & see what jess/dave/general consensus is.

New folks, sorry your first swap is having some hiccups, but that's how it goes some times. Unfortunately any time he makes improvements, it can cause unforeseen problems. But this is still, in my opinion anyway, one of the best swaps I participate in every year.

Hello Seed Snatchers!
Thanks for your patience and positive attitude last night. We'll make up for the lost evening of trading in a BIG way though!

At 4 p.m. PST/7 p.m. EST, you will be given 18 tickets. This is on top of the 12 that you received but could not use yesterday. Grand total of 30 tickets for all!

Everyone will get 0.34 tickets per dib sold tonight. That is the amount that we would have earned last night, night 2.

Catch you all in an hour for the swapping extravaganza!

@JessabelleJLH I don't know if it's an issue but I am trying to star some seeds and I am not able too.
