I’d like Afternic to make to its interface — Two changes

Changes to the Sales page and LTO dashboard would be welcome improvements.

Afternic is adding lots of fresh features and improving its dashboard. These are welcome changes, but there are a couple of things that have bothered me for a while that I’d like to see fast-tracked. Writing regarding these types of things seems to be a good way to nudge firms into action.

First, I’d like the Sales page to automatically be sorted. Right now, there doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason to how the domains are displayed when you visit the page. For example, here are the sales it shows at the top of my sales page:

It doesn’t make any sense. I typically sort by Payout Date to see my most recent sales, and I think it ought to be sorted this way by default. Better yet, add a Sale Date column and presort by that.

[Update April 7, 2025: Afternic has made this change. There is now a “sold date” column and the page is automatically sorted by it.]

The other change I’d like to see is on the lease-to-own page. Right now, the dashboard shows this:

If you click through to the domain details page, you can see how many installments have been paid. But this is one of the most notable things I want to know, and the overview page ought to show the number of installments that have been paid.

I hope Afternic is able to make these improvements soon.
