Unlimited registration until midnight! :D

 Okay, we’ve talked to our hosting company (if a massive flurry of panicked emails qualifies as “talking”), and it turns out that 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…

 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 grab a cold drink, get home from work, etc, and don’t worry, because if you register anytime between now and midnight tonight, you’ll get in.

And let me just say that I am so sorry everyone! We had no idea this would happen, so I appreciate so much your patience. :D

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

 AAANDD it looks like just when we thought this day couldn’t get more exicing/interesting/annoying, Paypal goes down.

Niiice.

So your credit card registrations are going through, and we’re just trying to figure out what the problem is with Paypal now. But at least I know I didn’t cause this one. ;)

I will post another update AS SOON as I know something about Paypal, ok?

You and Jared ROCK!!! Thanks so much, Jessica! Now I can go make my kids lunch and dry my hair, LOL.

I'll check back later and sign up. There is no way I want to miss this class with you!

Can't wait to see your new 'do too!

Happy Friday! :)

Thank you Jessica! "I shall return"!!!! :-D

Jessica,
Thanks for all your effort. I know this has to be very frustrating for you. Thanks for letting us know that there will be unlimited registration until midnight. I really want to take this course and was so bummed out with all the difficulties. Thanks again and have a great day. Cathering, "upcoming CKU student"

[Susie]

Thanks, Jessica! (And Jared!)

Jessica,

Thanks so much for accomodating all of us. I, too, wanted so desperately to get into this class and was bummed when I couldn't even access your site for quite some time. I'm so looking forward to this. Thanks, again for all that you are doing.

Thank you for finding a way to make this happen for all of us!
Just so we know . . . what should we be looking for on the registration page? Will there be an "add to cart" button, or a "register" button? It just doesn't seem too clear at the moment - but I'm sure you will clear it all up for us!
Thanks again!!!

[Meibaline]

Thank you!! Now I can go to bed and get some rest and have sweet dreams knowing i can be in this class!! YEAH! Good night, morning, afternoon! I'm sure you've made everyone's day awesome!

[Michelle]

Wow! Super! You've set many minds at rest! Thanks for all your work and keeping us updated!

[sarebear]

Thank you thank you!

Well, if your class is going to have a problem, being too popular is not such a bad thing (well, for you, hee hee! If registration was still limited, it'd be rather bad for many of us lol!)

Thank you THANK you and while there are and may be some hiccups in this process, we'll be sure to pop out from nowhere and yell "BOO!" so's the hiccups go away . . . .(lol)

[Sue Pinkowski]

Now I can go to lunch--did not want to miss my moment of opportunity to register for class. This is why it is a beta test, and you had not idea sooo..many people would want to sign up were you? SURPRISE:) Now you have an idea of how popular your classes will be in the future.

What does :D mean? Just curious...I am sort of new to all the Blog lingo/slang. Today was a big step for you technically. Good luck and I cannot wait for class...

[Susie]

I'm IN!! Thanks, Jessica!! Had a little trouble with the payment part as the credit card thing kept reverting to Visa when I was clicking MC but it finally worked and I have a printed receipt! THANKS!!!

[brigham]

Whoopee! I'll come back later and sign up. Thanks for all your (and Jared's) help. Just what you needed when you're out of town and trying to teach classes too. Don't worry, all will be well.

[Kathy McD]

How do we register? The "register for class" button at the bottom of the page doesn't work for me....help!

[jywhite]

I am still not able to register, is the link live yet?

[wendy]

paypal is working again! ;)

[LivE]

Aaack! I have no printed receipt! Help! I got a "registration completed" but no email! :O

[Kim]

I don't see a button to add to cart, i can't register, does anyone else have this problem? Thanks.

[Salina]

Looks like it's up and going. Just printed my registration!

Thanks so much Jared and Jessica! I'm sure it has been a crazy morning, but this will be a super fun journey!!

[Jenn]

Thank you SO much, Jessica, for doing unlimited registration. I was so disappointed this morning when I couldn't get through, so this is a really pleasant surprise (to say nothing of the newsletter coupon!). I am so looking forward to learning from you, and wish you the best with getting the site snafus worked out. Take a few deep breaths and just know that we're grateful! :)

[Mimi2six]

Jessica,
I'm so sorry that you are having difficulties, it just goes to prove how much your knowledge is needed. I would like to know if you will be offering PSCS2 anytime soon. I would really like to be a student but I do not have PS Elements and I am not too sure if this class would work with my program? Thanks for all you do and your Friday tutorials, wow, exceptional!!! Thank you, Sammie

[Luann McElduff]

I knew this was going to be gigantic! You have a huge following and we all are dying to get more and more of your tutorials and classes. Thank you so much for opening the registration up. I have had this on my calendar since it was announced and I am so happy that I am able to be a part of it. Congrats on your immenent success...you deserve it.

[LivE]

Jessica, thanks so so much for your generosity in accommodating all of us who have been anxiously awaiting this special day! I finally got registered, and boy, today is all the year's holidays rolled into 1 for me. Don't worry about the kinks... that's why we're beta testers, right? :D We were with you all the way, since before registration opened, and we hung on... and boy I'm sure we're all glad we did! This is SO worth the wait and all. Thanks so much (again and again), Jessica and Jared!
