#1151 Bidding apparently failed for an unknown reason

[Mid Life Crisis]

Hi

I'm having errors when bidding/sniping in either Windows XPSP2/Vista Ultimate.

In each case it produces an error but the bid/snipe works!

Latest error in XPSP2 using Java 1.6.0_02-b06.

Seems strange 2 differenct OS's have similar errors when using latest version of jbid & Java.

Pls advise if this is a setup problem on my end.

Thanks

Greetings,
No it's not really a setup issue.

eBay changed their wording on the bid-success page, and JBidwatcher's not recognizing it right.

Grab 1.0.3pre1 from here:
http://forum.jbidwatcher.com/forums/1/topics/1102#posts-3532

and ignore it's warning that there's a 'newer' version (1.0.2) available.

I'll try to get a 1.0.3 version out relatively soon.
