The World's Best Online Classes & Products for Digital Crafters

The site had pretty much been frozen for me since the time that the class was supposed to open for registration. Has anyone had any luck? Are they going to post-pone registration until another time?? I think they may not have been prepared for the number of people who were going to try to register.

Hope they can get everything fixed up soon!!

Haven't been able to either. The rare occasion I can get the page to reload, there's no register button anywhere like she said would show up.

Yeah, I keep getting the Internal Server Error message once in awhile. Well, the good news maybe that nobody was able to register. Which means we still have a shot!

I have been trying for about one hour....than i thought i should check the forum...i am glad i am not alone with this....panic was setting in...i am sure that this will work out.....!

I've been trying to and haven't had any success ... but I have been trying steady for an hour....

An hour and fifteen and still trying....<br><br>Post edited by: amymerry, at: 2007/06/01 17:15

Want to play a game while we wait? Like, I'll start it, I'll say a word, and then you follow with the first thing you think of, and then the next person, and so on.

It says on her blog that as long as we sign up before midnight tonight we will get into the class
from Jessica's Blog:

Here’s what we’ve decided to to:

In order to take the load off of jessicasprague.com so it stops crashing we are going to open up unlimited registrations until midnight.

So the best thing you can do right now take a break from the site and let the site recover, and no need to keep hitting the “Refresh” button either if you’re worried about getting a spot, because if you register anytime between now and midnight tonight, you’ll get in.

Hey Kathy M, are you the scrapbookaddict.com Kathy M? Cause I'm the old timer sarebear who pops back in every now and again. Thanks for posting this, too.

With only 45 people getting in ... I am afraid to leave now that I am here ... my boss is gonna have a cow... but hey, a girl has have her priorities straight;) !

Wow...50 hits a second...she's going to have like 10,000 people in her first class! (And I'll be one of them I hope!)

She's a brave and talented lady...

yall ... we broke her site!!!

Okay, after talking to our hosting company our site is crashing because it is receiving over 50 requests per second which it can’t handle and dies. So after some email exchange and some figuring out that we’ll be migrating servers ASAP…

Please come back anytime before midnight EST, and you’ll get in. You’ll have better luck later, I think.

I am so sorry everyone! We had no idea this would happen, so I appreciate so much your patience.

I will try to respond to your emails individually, but give it a little while (even a couple of hours) and try to get back in ok?

You’ll be able to come back anytime before midnight tonight!

Thank you for coming on this journey with me, guys. What a day! Whew.

Well, if anyone wants to play the game still, as it counts down towards midnight and we all register before then, feel free. My word still stands, especially for what I'm feeling lol.

I finally got registered:P

Be patient and it will happen for you too.

Yup that is me!

I recognized your name. Good to see you!

Kathy M

Yep, just give it a few minutes. It worked for me too. Glad to hear they opened it up to more people though!

Got registered after waiting for 6 hours... but haven't received the email confirmation yet. Till then I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Go, Jessica! So much digital love around the world!

I'm in.....and my registration # is 42.....but I don't think that matters since I think she is taking ALL OF US!!! Whoaaaaa.....What an adventure!!!!
I think I need a nap!

It seems that our payment service that processes our credit card transactions, PayPal, is having a global outage right now, that is affecting everyone that uses PayPal.

Ugh of all the worst times this could happen!

I've had to temporarily disable the &quot;Add to Cart&quot; button because of this. Because people will not be able to fully checkout until PayPal is back up.

Fortunately since PayPal is a huge website and has millions of users, I'm sure that they will have it back up very soon.

Please be patient, I'll enable the &quot;Add to Cart&quot; button as soon as PayPal is back online.

Help? I got through checkout all the way and received a message &quot;Registration Confirmed&quot; but I have to activate it through an email sent to me... have been waiting for more than an hour for the email to arrive, but there isn't any coming in. It's almost 3AM in my part of the world... I'm just wondering, how did you get your registration number? From the email? And should I register all over again and risk getting enlisted twice, or not at all? Yikes. Calling Jessica or Jared, kindly shed some light on this? Thanks so much!

Hi LivE,

I changed it so that you can login imediately after you register, and you don't have to wait for a confirmation email. So you should be able to login now.

However, the &quot;Add to Cart&quot; button is disabled, see the post above, until PayPal.com comes back online. You still have another 10 hours to register, so you should go to bed, you'll be able to register in the morning

LivE,
Were you able to complete checkout and are waiting for the order confirmation email? Or are you waiting for your user registration activation email?

I'm trying to register by clicking on the link in the &quot;Register for class here&quot; but it sends me to the detail page. Where are you all going to register?
