Today I was involved in a bidding war for a player on the transfer market. Three teams at least were bidding. I was accessing the site on my blackberry, and mostly the site works well on it. I was able to bid several times but once the bidding went over $1m dollars, each time I tried to bid I got the "oops" page which tells me that "something went wrong". Not surprisingly I didn't win the player. That's disappointing but if it is an isolated incident I'll have to live with it.

The "oops" page says the bug was automatically logged. Can anyone tell why it happened?

your request timed out because the server was having some scaling issues yesterday, we solved them in the afternoon, but unfortunately it prevented you from placing a bid on that player, when you get an inconsistent problem like that it is likely that it is due to a scaling issue and you should keep trying... I'm sorry there is nothing we can do in retrospect to correct the issue without causing someone to get upset.

Thanks, Forrest. That's kind of what I thought, and I'm relieved it wasn't something specific to the blackberry. In general the new site seems to work nicely with my blackberry. I do understand about not being able to roll back the transfer.
