Wasn't this supposed to work on any browser? My concerns are when I get a 10 page guide on how to update the thing and 20+ YouTube videos on how to work it... the thing may be a tad too complex. (PBS software requires more study than a new type rating?). A 15 yr old programmer would have made "sync" automatic (invisible to me) and automatically look for latest version with prompts that said: "download/install" without the rest of the monkey crap. Maybe they are just trying to force out old computer illiterates? I'm glad I'm so senior I only have to put in a few bids. OFG

I know I'll get crap for this, but I just finished bidding on the latest version of the web app and I have to admit it felt easier to navigate around. There were a few minor bugs still hidden in some places but overall I saw an improvement, especially in scrolling and manipulating the bid sheet.

Let the roasting begin

Jk, I'm with you on this one. I much prefer this over the old system. I finish my bids in about half the time that it took me with the old system.

It's definitely not optimized for the Surface. It took me three hours to bid using the tablet. Now I use the Safari browser on a MacBook Air and I've found the new web app to be a significant improvement over the old. Try using a different device and see how it goes.
