    We brought the website back up with an additional 500 connections. We are getting near the order cap though.. yes, even with this all going on people are able to place orders. We were down for 20 minutes as we solved a traffic flow issue. Let's keep this in perspective.

    Website Redesign Update

    We've closed the site down and 13 orders were placed with 115 non-finished attempts and 300 users attempting orders. This was all over the course of 10 minutes (two 5 minute blocks separately). Once the site reached some point of "overload level" traffic (I don't know yet what that number is)...

    so is anyone as excited as I am?

    The site is down. *grrrr* Okay, the traffic is simply too much at this point. It shouldn't be, I paid (I thought) for this not be an issue but it wasn't taken seriously enough. We will talk to the data center today and see what needs to be done.

    so is anyone as excited as I am?

    You can check your order status by accessing your "wish list" and signing in. (look under the shopping cart on the left) Once there your order should have the status of "Processed". Once it is shipped it will be marked "Completed". Any other status means it had issues during the order.

    The HT access will be unblocked soon. We had to get online and monitor the traffic. It'll still have connectivity issues as it isn't handling the load like it should.

    so is anyone as excited as I am?

    It's erroring due to traffic. It was fine before I opened and now I can't even get to the site to shut it down if I wanted to. I'm on the phone with tech now.

    so is anyone as excited as I am?

    It's 7:44 and I'll be making the website live soon. I'm anxious as all get out but happy as well. It's a weird feeling for sure. It has to be similar to watching your kid perform at a school play. You want everything to go perfect but you understand there might be "damage control" after a...

    New site: is-ave-open.info

    I may have set this off earlier. If I did I apologize. I had to toggle the open/closed and test a new news message.

    Come on guys..

    The splash page with the errant "closed" message was my fault. I told my developer to make one and he did... I didn't tell him NOT to put it up... that's where the issue lay. It'll go away once we open on Monday and should only be displayed after when we hit our order capacity and close. Right...

    Yes, once long ago. After the first attempt these was no need to try again, LOL.

    Re-register. We've had to rebuild from the bottom up and importing the databases wasn't able to be done.

    Website Redesign Update

    Sort of. It wasn't your post I was referring to. On my screen you are 143 and another is 145. The URL for the link to that specific post only links to a post number though, which leads me to believe we might all have slightly altered post numbers. If you scroll up you'll see two people...

    Website Redesign Update

    Can we take animosity of 145, 147, & 148 and toss it? Position 1.) I need a place people can come and say what they need to without fear of reprisal. This is, hopefully the place for those ideas to be heard whatever they may be positive or negative. Position 2.) Is a reiteration of position...

    LOL, if that's how "our side" is seen it's no wonder people are ....... LOL. Seriously Levi, you got a good chuckle on that one. I'll never have "millions" to my name. I don't know if I ever told you specifically but I've said it before, Christy and I know what our lifestyle is and it's...

    Website Redesign Update

    You're not alone in that line of thought though. I just hope my explanation gives some insight to my viewpoint. I understand your drive to find a solution, I live in that frame of mind each day (in regards to the website) I won't fault anyone for being a normal human with normal concerns and...

    Website Redesign Update

    I'm fairly sure that was the version they went with. While I only had to deal with it a few times throughout the day, to their credit, those two sat in the office jamming to that song for at least 6 hours.

    I'd tell someone, I just wouldn't tell that person that I'd be telling them until I told them and only once they needed to be told. Then I'd tell them... whomever they might be.

    Website Redesign Update

    After reading the rest of the recent posts, I will add: I'll see about the discount extension. The idea was to keep it up as long as necessary, however, that time frame gives no definite end-point and is open to personal interpretation. So I announced "a week" with the understanding I have...
