Sedo Fixes Auction User Interface

Sedo Fixes Auction User Interface

Auction page now easier to scan.

One thing has always baffled me regarding the auction page at Sedo: domain names were truncated at 13 characters even though there was plenty of space to list the entire domain. Like many things in web applications, fixing this was a challenge due to some legacy backend systems. But I’m happy to note that Sedo has fixed the glitch and most domains are no longer truncated:

sedo-truncated

A quick review of current auctions shows only a couple truncated listings, whereas ahead of it seemed that nearly half of the domains were truncated. Ahead of this adjustment you would find a domain that looked interesting and then hover your mouse over it to see what the domain really was. (Often times it was in a TLD you wouldn’t care for or included an entire extra word that wasn’t apparent.)
