Event Registration

[Greatwyrm]

I'm no programmer, but I do most of the troubleshooting here at work. In my experience, undefined values that consistanty come up can be a terminal problem. Would someone who has more experience than me please tell me I'm wrong.

Cthulu's Librarian, if you want a spot in my game, it's yours. We librarians have to stick together.

Cool! Thanks Buttercup! Who else can we get into a game that works in a library?


This is so nice, all the ENWorlders bonding together over the problems at the GenCon website... I'm getting a little verklempt... Discuss amongst yourselves...

ha ha! Not for long! The rest of us will now bog down the server trying to frantically get in! You don't win if you can't register!

:Fathead pounds away at his keyboard

You were right...

For a few minutes... I was the winner...

Then, God gave me the finger...

Ah, well... I'll worry about it all later.

New error:

Registration is currently down. Please try again later.

Oh well. I have to head home now anyway. I'll try again tonight on my dialup at home. Yeah right, like THATS going to work :\

Good luck everyone! See you at the con!

Mine too. Even though I am not a librarian.....

We need like 4 or 5 us to each bring a a prepared game, then take turns DMing.

WOW!

Looks like me and my buddy are going to get some events, we're actually in the checkout process.....

EDIT: Spoke too soon, I think.......

Wooo Hooo!!! I just got to a different screen! It's an error screen, but at least it's different than the login screen I've been looking at for 45 minutes.



So, should we all email the webmaster and tell give him the error message and time & date? If everyone sends an email, maybe next year we will only have to wait half as long to get in...

You get this error in perl when your db->connect fails, but you don't have enough error checking to stop the script before it tries to ->execute something. Depending on what version, it can also be becaause the data getting passed to the database handle gets munged.
I know I hate munged data
I'd guess the webpage/webserver is fine, I'm betting it's the DB server that's folding.

I give up. I'll try again in a few hours. Or maybe early tomorrow morning. Life is too short to waste on this sort of crap.

NNNOOOOO!!!! Don't!

We just get everything we wanted, I'm not kidding! Persistence paid off.

W00t! R0xx0rz!!!!

Ater 2.5 hours of trying to get in, not only did I get in, I got the M&M-run-by-Steve-Kenson game and the Arcana Unearthed tourney! AND I'VE GOT A RECEIPT TO PROVE IT!

Of course, I checked out with those bad boys asap. Further attempts to sign up for stuff are again failing. Ergo, I can probably kiss the True Dungeon/True Heroes goodbye.

Hey, does one have to register for seminars (seeing they're $0.00), or can you just show up?

I got the AU tourney in my cart...

And filled in the payment info...

And now its just sitting there.

If I lose the slot I'm going to be pissed.
