Thanks for the update PEN! That is a nice new added feature that I’m sure many will love!

@Michael – traffic is now displayed on the watched list hover box (along with full domain – not truncated)

@PEN – Thanks for the suggestion. It works. It works I was clicking the wrong closeout.

“I hated it at first as I assume many did. I couldn’t even find my “watched” domains. I felt lost!”

Same here. I agree with you.

GoDaddy Auctions Redesign REALLY Breakdown!

I’ve been suggesting these things forever and they have NEVER implemented a single one of them.

Nothing but more retarded bastardization programming of what was once a great platform.

The only thing good is the Delete button at the top of the page on the Watch List and the better search feature for your Won Domains whereby you can search years back very quickly to see what you paid.

Those two are definite improvements, but the collateral damage done by “improving” the system literally destroyed it at the same time.

I’m literally disgusted by it.

@dnclips: Select closeout domains within the “Type” container and .com within the “extensions” container. The closeouts search at the top (predefined) of the advanced search is the same as clicking the closeouts button or tab from previous designs.

@nameclerk: saved searches are exportable (and can be set to email you results daily)

@michael: domains per page can be set in your settings area and the searches will revert back to your global preference then.

Now I cannot select both “.com” and “closeouts” together. If I click closeout, I see all extensions. If I select .com, shows the default view, that is the names other than in ‘closeout’. So to filter the .coms in closeout is almost impossible now.

Raised a ticket 2 days ago, but as usual of Godaddy support, no response till now.

If it was any other software company, I’m sure many engineers could have been on the firing line for releasing something without doing proper testing.

@Michael and NameClerk,
The good news is, Godaddy product development members read DotWeekly so I’m sure your suggestions and issues will be heard.

Export would be nice.
I agree on the traffic numbers being shown in the watch box data.
Some issues you have Michael, may be browser related as well.

It appears Godaddy still doesn’t have an option to export the search results. I’ve been waiting patiently for this feature for a long time.

Wow Jamie….I disagree.

I think this is the worst update GD has ever done.

You can’t read the domains in you Watch List because they are truncated. That also means if you want to pull you list to work it you have to scroll over your domains to get the box that shows your domain and then go to excel, email, or whereever and fill them in one at a time.

The traffic is still not shown on the Watch List…you stillhave to click though to each and every damn one of them.

The number of domains per page shown does not stick after doing a search…it reverts back to the old number.

The Saved Searches feature does not work unless you expand the list to 500 listings per page because it is a drop list that must go past the set amount of listings per page….if not set to 500 it won’t work usually.

The page is SO DAMAN SLOW to go back and forth!!!!!!!!!!

You must remove the word “Keyword” from the keyword option to do a search. Like we need to be told that a keyword needs to go into the keyword bar….WTF!!!

I could go on and on…..but this update was the biggest cluster fu*k GoDaddy could have ever done!!!

TOTAL SH*T ….IMHO.
