[moved thread to website feedback forum]

Dammit!

I think I was up to a week this time.

Merisiel's introduction to the world.

Merisiel statted up for the Pathfinder RPG.

I dunno about the hotel rooms, but I have yet to see a bus in Seattle not have a wheelchair lift.

The bug is still marked as "open" in Apple's database. I've updated it with a notation that it's not fixed in 10.6.2.

OK, I admit I thought of the title before the minute started.

Insert Title Here, by Gary Teter

"That's not a book, that's a lecture," she said. "I can't tell you how important this thing is to me -- they're out there, they know it, and they're coming to get us." Then the walls fell, but it wasn't like that at all. Dust everywhere. Books a-kilter. The end was at hand. She wrote, and then was done. With four seconds to spare.

To determine if a particular order is going to require shipping in multiple packages, just add the items to your cart, proceed to checkout and select the shipping address.

On the order confirmation page -- before your order has been actually placed, so you have a chance to not place the order -- you'll get a handful of shipping methods in a drop-down menu, explaining the delivery service and price. If the order is going to ship in multiple packages for a particular delivery service, it'll say something like "2 packages via Standard Postal Delivery".

Was that the generic album labeled Cassette/LP/CD depending on the media it was sold on?

I'm listening it to now, and I gotta say, I think my positive impressions of the record revolve mostly around the lyrics. "Anger is an energy," etc. The recording itself sounds incredibly dated/eighties -- it could be a Duran Duran album sonically.

That dude sold out before I was born. I'm still a down with the Sex Pistols, though.

I think this is the page you're looking for.

The RSS feed for a thread should list all the latest posts, but on fast-moving threads it's possible for the RSS server to get out of sync with the website. (But it should also get back in sync reasonably quickly.) Are there any specific feeds you're seeing this on?

The only way to clear the "(x new)" on a thread is to click on the thread. Or avert your eyes. But you really do want to read those threads. The new posts are calllllling you...

Send an email to customer.service@paizo.com and Cosmo and/or Sara can move your preorders into your sidecart.

Hmm. I can't duplicate this problem. Are you using an existing address, or typing in your address fresh from scratch?

No, that's a bug. I've fixed the prices for the minis in question, and customer service will be emailing customers affected by this bug.

We've just rolled out two new features related to your sidecart: A "Ship As Soon As Possible" button, and the ability to put non-Paizo preorders and backorders into your sidecart.

If you have items in your sidecart that could be shipped now, you can click the "Ship As Soon As Possible" button to get your order processed without waiting for the next subscription product to arrive. You'll be given an opportunity to verify the shipping address, payment method and shipping method before the order is finalized. Note that replacement items (i.e., Paizo is paying for the shipping) can't be shipped like this -- they need to wait for the next subscription shipment. (If you really, really want your replacement items shipped immediately, contact customer service and they can process your order for you. But you'll pay for the shipping for those items.)

A couple months ago we started letting you specify during order checkout that you'd like the items in your cart to ship with your next upcoming subscription shipment. At the time that was limited to products available immediately from our warehouse or our distributor, or Paizo preorders. We've now extended that to non-Paizo preorders and backorders, so you can get that new Order of the Stick book and get it in the same package as your subscription shipment when it comes out.

[edit] I guess I should point out that the "Ship As Soon As Possible" button will appear on your My Account page, in the box labeled "Sidecart." If you don't see the box, you either don't have any subscriptions or you don't have any products waiting to be shipped with your subscription. If you do see the box, but don't see the button, you don't have anything that could be shipped right now (i.e., they're all upcoming preorders, backorders, or replacement items).

Those products aren't showing up on your future subscriptions shipments because the order for them has been finalized and submitted, and will ship as soon as possible. See your order history page for more info.

If I had to guess what happened, it would be that at one point during your fiddling you switched to "Never hold anything," which the system currently interprets to mean "I'm tired of waiting for this stuff in my sidecart to ship, please ship it now." There's a warning beneath that selection that says something like "selecting this option will cause the 3 items in your sidecart to be shipped as soon as possible," but one of my current to-do items is to do a better job of giving feedback and verifying customer intentions for these kinds of actions.

bis hoffen!

GARY:
Not to be a punk or anything, but how did MisterSlinky slink into a thread 28 minutes after Jason locked it? (Not that I obsess about a post I didn't get to edit or anything.) ;P

I heard he's not really made of carrots.

I "vote" this thread include grocer's' quotes "too".

Can you email a screenshot to webmaster@paizo.com?

The release date had been set to July 2009. I don't have the product schedule handy at the moment but I'm guessing it oughta be 2010 instead, so I changed the date.

Temporary shortage of server dust.

Stupid server dust!

I tried doing that, but the fax machine wasn't working. What should I do now?

Aha. You've discovered a bug where we're not properly displaying the discount associated with your shipping and handling. The price shown in the popup menu -- $17.83 -- includes the $3.16 discount. The order summary should include a line displaying the discount (labeled "Shipping & Handling Discount") but it's not showing right now. (If you add up the numbers you'll see that the order total actually does include the discount.)

This bug will be fixed the next time we roll the website (hopefully today or tomorrow).

"To mark the 40th anniversary of the Internet, DARPA has announced the DARPA Network Challenge, a competition that will explore the role the Internet and social networking plays in the timely communication, wide area team-building and urgent mobilization required to solve broad scope, time-critical problems.

"The challenge is to be the first to submit the locations of ten moored, 8 foot, red weather balloons located at ten fixed locations in the continental United States. Balloons will be in readily accessible locations and visible from nearby roadways."

There's a $40,000 prize, but really I think it's all about bragging rights.

OK, this should be fixed now.

Hi Alejandro, this will be fixed in the next hour. Sorry it took me so long to track down the problem, and thank you for your patience.

*locks thread*

There's a difference between not looking human and simply being unable to be photographed.

Oh, for Pete's sake.

So I was creating my next PFS character and it auto choose the Osirion Faction symbol. Any idea on how I can fix this?

Easiest way to fix is probably just create another character.

My ten-year-old self insists on a waterslide. And lasers.

Spanky's not kidding.

Sorry about that -- it should be fixed now. You should see two tickets: your three-day badge, and your banquet ticket.

Now, in my eTickets is a ticket for the Con,but not for the banquet, is that right? Is the banquet ticket somehow rolled into the general weekend pass instead of being separate?

(Note to self: 2009 is not 2010.)

Fixing it so people could transfer badges and banquet tickets was one of the ducks we had to get into a row. So yes, you can transfer your badge to someone else. (And if you can't, let us know because you should be able to.)

OK, according to these surveyors' tools, the laser sight, plum bob, spirit level, protractor, compass, GPS system and my many fiery eyeballs, all them ducks are now in a row.

Bah. That was the last duck I had to line up before rolling the new code, and I guess I messed it up a bit. Will fix.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

happy fun dot

No, we're actually just concerned that the moon might explode in the 23rd century, and we're trying to get ahead of the game. (Or cash in on the disaster profits if it's unavoidable and there's money to be made.)

Also, I should clarify our R&D priorities: death rays before moon rays. As always.

Mmmmmm... dots.

Can you try personalizing it again? It worked for me when I tried it just now -- you should get a .zip file which unzips to a folder containing three .jpg images (not a PDF).

Also, the forums are way too long thread doesn't decrease the number of available dots. Though I am considering turning it into a möbius strip at some point...

If you create the thread, you get a dot. If you post in a thread, you get a dot, but that dot will go away in 7 days or if the thread has had more than two new pages of posts since you posted.

Also, some dots may also temporarily not show up if the dots subsystem is particularly busy at the moment, but should appear properly within a few minutes.
