It happened just now but it's happened to me plenty of times before....I go buy an item for a quest and when I click the purchase button I get the message "sold out" with a broken image. That always tells me the item isn't really sold out, mostly because of the broken picture. It's really annoying. Please fix, as this issue has been ongoing for more than year or even two, I think.

This has been going on for a long time. It's pretty annoying when it happens while on a quest, or trying to RS something rare.

And back to shop takes you to the mystery mall that last restocked fifty years ago 0_o

I noticed you posted at 12:02:38 pm about the shops saying "sold out" which is the issue. When purchasing from the Subeta shops at the turn of the hour here's what happens; let's say you begin your purchase at 11:59, if the chrono gets to the next hour, 12:00 in this case, before you click the purchase button the "sold out" message will appear. Even if the shop is stocked your purchase will fail and you'll see the message. Watch next time you buy something and the clock passes the upcoming hour, it will happen if your purchase begins on one hour and tries to close during the next hour. I've found this so often I've learned to just wait for the clock to proceed to the next hour before making a purchase.

This happens to me a LOT!!! its not just a hourly bug , happens every 5-10 rses .

This must be one of the most annoying bugs around. ._______.

I've looooong ago created a thread (and later on another one) concerning this. First time round they seemed to acknowledge, but it started again and has been happening ever since.

And - because I remembered checking again just now - still no payment for posts...

I had this happen to me a couple days ago when I was restocking. :) It always makes me laugh.

This happens to me a lot too, although recently instead of a broken image I got:

Use me...? xD

Still happening all the time!!!

I'm having this happen a lot more recently. And just the other day, I got what posted.

It happens every hour on the hour.

IE if you haven't refreshed the page since passing the hour the link will "break". I always thought that's to prevent auto buyers or whatever those things were. But idk.

This drives me nuts. I had wondered if this happened enough for people to post about it but never really looked until I noticed it after creating a topic (not about this).
While I've never noticed the time when it happens, I've learned to just close the tab that this happens on and open a new one. I'll have to look at the time when it happens again to see if there's any correlation.
