DPF Auctions, when does it end?

I've been getting really frustrated over the fact that I've been missing out on bidding on auctions because there is no quick way to find out when the auction ends. It's not like ebay where you can store an auction and "watch" it, every minute of the day new posts are being added and these auction threads are being pushed around. And as of now unless you open the post you have no way of knowing when the auction ends. Some people are thoughtful enough to put the end of the auction in the heading, and it would be awesome if everyone did this. Sometimes I don't have time, or I just don't feel like taking the time to look at every auction, every time I'm on, but if everyone included the time their auction ends than I would know without having to open each post when I need to get a bid in before the auction is over. I think this would also greatly help the auctioneers because people would always know when the auction ended without having to read and re-read the OP every time. With so many of these auctions going on and so any ended on the same day but different times, posting the end of your auction in your title post would make it much easier for us bidders to keep up with your auction.

I try to put the times in the title of my auction. If it's three days, then i say it ends on the date and time then as it gets closer i get more specific...

How about saving the threads you are interested in in your internet bookmarks, or internet favorites? And when you add the thread to your bookmarks, just rename it with the date it ends, and a description of what pin it is. Then arrange your favorites in order of ending soonest.

I wish everyone did this, it would make everything so much easier.

I have tried this in the past... My personal problem with it is the fact that the Title Line is what gets people to look at your auction, and those spaces that show are important to use wisely... I try to be sure I first have my name Goofy in the title as it is my way of attracting those who have associated my name with honesty, quality and fun... Second I try to be sure to word the Title fairly vague but inticing to want to read... Such as "Goofy's Super Rapunzel Auction..."... Just the fact that it says super and Rapunzel people will look... But what makes mine a bit different, is that our auctions average 48 hours... So if you see a Goofy Auction, you know it will not be there for 10 days waiting for bids that do not happen until the last 4 hours... But this is just my thoughts on it...
What I do is when I search for an auction through new post, if I see something we are interested in, I make a comment on the thread and when I go back in to the DPF auction house to see what is new, I always check the threads with the little green arrows that I have responded to in the past so we do not miss the endings... Again this is just what I do, but I am no expert on the subject...LOL
