'Nuff said, and I dare anyone to use their WHOIS page to input 50 domains into... I double-dare you.

I agree.. sucks to the core. Wanted to call them and let them know. But thought I have other means of using the whois.

Wonder why they had to keep changing.. may be someone has to prove that he/she is working!! LOL.

Very poor taste.. I just hated it. Period.

I have since bookmarked https://www.cira.ca/?domain= for my whois search.
It's more user friendly than the harebrained CIRA WHOIS link found at https://www.cira.ca/ca-domains/whois

Or maybe they don't want anyone using the bulk type function.

Maybe it was an intentional downgrade.

What do they stand to lose when people do it? It's just someone trying to impress their supervisor.

It's better, but it still defaults to the "suggested alternatives" list rather than actually displaying the WHOIS data that you requested, thereby making you click twice.

This seems to be about selling, selling and more selling, like the CIRA suddenly thinks they're a registrar and not a registry.
