I know it’s a little early to even think about daylight savings time ending... But...
Recurring auctions scheduled to launch when daylight savings time ends are launched one hour too early.
I noticed this when I setup a bunch of auctions to run through the end of the year. When daylight savings time starts, it rolls back the launch one hour. This is a bug.
Now, we all know that what really counts is when an auction ENDs. Could AW go through all pending auctions and automatically roll back (or roll forward) auctions to end at the correct time after daylight savings time?
This would be a really cool feature since I always forget about it and then my auctions end either too early or two late during the time changes each year.
I am not quite sure how this will be handled from a system perspective, but I'm sure it was factored in when designing the system, and your recurring auctions should launch properly after daylight savings ends. I will pass this along, though, just in case...
