[LEL17] Difficulty registering from overseas

[canuckystan]

Trying to register for the 18:00 sale, LEL website is offline, 522 errors.  Just thought I'd mention it to see if others experiencing the same thing.  I'll keep trying.

Happening in uk aswell

UK based, very fast internet connection (200Meg measured) and I'm getting the same. I wouldn't bother if I were you........ 

[canuckystan]

Thanks! I thought it was our rickety colony connection that was the problem

So what chance do I have with my steam-powered Babbage special?

[yanner]

Sold out.  I had one in my basket, fill details out, do infuriating robot thing, place order and they sell out. Gutted.

[canuckystan]

How can that be? I haven't been able to connect at all...

Same here. Everyone else please go to bed early - I've got something important to do at midnight!

Swear words from far east after the form has been filled in as the server died?

For those who aren't monitoring the FB feed, Phil W had details on the technical issues & had this advice for the next go around:

How you can help yourself

Don't refresh unless you get an error, page 404 or time out or connection error.
Every time you refresh you go to the back of the queue and wait even longer
Realise the event is oversubscribed and not everyone can get a place.
Realise you have the same chance as anyone else trying to enter, regardless of where you live.

I have been out since just after 6.00pm.

this was my update from danial

Yup, it sold out in 2 minutes once we got going. The server was fine; we just got a couple of of switches wrong.

My emails have gone into overdrive. I'm ignoring most of them because they're generally a whinge at not getting a place.

Sorry too all disappointed, but  we upped the  rider numbers  by 50% and we just do not believe that UK can support a bigger ride

It is just too popular

More advice from Phil W:
1. Make sure you are using a modern browser such as Chrome, ie9 onwards, Firefox, Safari etc.
2. Make sure JavaScript is enabled
3. Make sure cookies are enabled.

See if the checkboxes are working before you fill in too much of the form.

Gone again.  3 and out for me. 3 times I've got to the stage of hitting "Place Order" and 3 times it's then sold out.

Good speed to the 1500, you had all better turn up

Can't believe people would whinge to the organisers, what do they expect to achieve?  I'm going to do the necessary to make sure I can get preferential entry in 2021 although with how popular that is that will probably have to change criteria!

How does one get on waiting list?

[canuckystan]

I'm in!!!  Made it at 07:08 on the last round.  I suspect I may have been one of the last to register. Phew!
