When Drupal page caching is set to "Normal", the views field "Auction expiry" only seems to be updated on a cron run or when someone bids. Turning caching off gets around the problem but isn't ideal for larger sites.

"Active expiration countdown" is not being used.

This problem doesn't doesn't effect the bid table expiry value.

Title: Views field "Auction expiry" inaccurate with page cacheing on » Views field "Auction expiry" inaccurate with page caching on

This is for anonymous users only. When logged in the time is accurate.

i think this is not a bugs. because the function of cache to store the same data for a period time to avoid multiple server and database hit.
if you want to make countdown timing correct, off the cache. because there is no way to exclude only certain fields in views from caching. the views caching works by cache everything in a views.

i think there should be
* reducing in number of rendering item
* turn on pager
* make a "page" display for lots of item to be bid

to reducing and speedup page rendering instead using cache function in views. hopefully this tips help.
