Bidding is allowed as the thread was re-opened. See the rules - deals must happen that week unless stated in the bid, and stating a delay in the bid may cause your bid to be rejected if a similar price is offered at a sooner week.
Rich - Its nothing personal - simply bidding for a player when a bid was not honoured - whatever the reason. My bid may not be accepted, and if that is the case then fair enough.
In the previous system you'd have only found out if your offer was accepted that week, on the Thursday or Friday, so this system is no different on that issue.
I appreciate it was Easter weekend, but in fairness I didn't delay the games, and the rules were posted prior to you bidding. The rules are pretty clear on the times for accepting and what to do to delay, so I couldn't accept your previous offer for next week if I wanted to.
