+AtlantaGal Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I had to place my order 3 separate times because my cart kept getting emptied and then session time out errors on the shipping page. 3rd time went through. That was really weird! Quote Link to comment

+Redwing_dave Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 Sorry for the log jam on the ordering folks. I don't think servers were designed for the kind of duress that Geocoin Addicts put them through. Hopefully no one wants to kill me right now. I'm sure as things calm down that the ordering glitches will cease (but I'll check into it all the same). Quote Link to comment

Don't necessarily need the coin, just wanted to say "Get well Skye," 'cause Skye is a pretty kewl name... Edit to add: I hurried home after teaching class to try to get some coins. Did it all fine on the first go around... Edited April 11, 2007 by sparkeeeee Quote Link to comment

+Redwing_dave Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) For anyone wondering who Skye is at this point, please visit this LINK. I encourage you to read through the whole thread to find out about her and what RASJ is doing for her. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. No complaints here about RASJ hijacking this thread. After all, Skye is more important than any Geocoin, when it comes down to it. Edited April 11, 2007 by Redwing_dave Quote Link to comment

+tokencollector Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hmmm. I wandered in, browsed through the store, picked up a few items and checked out without any problems. Quote Link to comment
+Redwing_dave Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 Now that things have slowed down a bit, there shouldn't be any problems placing orders. As I suspected, the early rush just took its toll on the server. Things have settled down, and there are still a good amount of coins in stock. This takes me back to the early days of geocoins, when a whole issue would sell out in a few minutes. You could almost smell the sizzle of little server microchips through the internet.
