I just went into my account, after putting in a new show, it tells me
"Your session has expired."
I resent it, nothing
I closed it, opened it back up, it came up.
But then I wrote out a whole email to go to my host and after I went to send it, it told me my session expired :mad:
Now it's pi$$ing me off!:mad:

You know what really sucks, is you get a really good saying in your head, you type it out and then it's gone!
How do you get on that roll again,,,You Cant!:o :mad: :(
 
It's BACK UP! I was sweating! I had to submit my show or else go inactive:0 Right when I hung up the phone P3 loaded and CC was up. How's that for prayers!
This was just 5 minutes ago!

No luck here
 
Me either!
 
It's up -- but getting hammered right now and slo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0ow as molasses. I'm going to give it about 15 minutes and it should be stable. I bet there's a thousand consultants trying to log in all at once and that cannot be helping it :)
 
I can't get in and P3 won't open all the way either. Not good.
 
I have a consultant that needs to submit a waiver - How do you submit a sales waiver if the website has been down most of the weekend??

I know sorry:( I have to walk away and let it load. I posted elwhere that I called them back to see if they got my show and they said no not yet. I have to call back in two or three hours. That is how long it is taking with the server down. I still may have to re-submit my show.

I am not mad, but just disappointed. I know I can get all my stats back if it comes to that. At least it was not for lack of trying, because I have! It just gets me that more motivated to not let it happen again. (waiting for orders to come in.)
 
I called and left a message - I need to call this consultant back She is working on her doctorate (semester end) and working lots of hours at her full time job. I don't know if there is a way to call in a waiver (if she hasn't done it yet) Trying to help her out since I know she is very busy.

Lovely that this is happening right at the end of the month
 
Make every attempt to submit what you need to submit. Whenever this kind of this has happened they have been good about giving you grace. They CAN see whether you tried once they get things back up! I would also call and leave a message and/or send an email from your email server so you have a record that you tried.


As far as getting a good saying in your head - What I do if I want to be sure to not lose it is to highlight and copy it. OR do it on a word or text document and copy and paste it to the web page you want it on.
 
But Susan can't submit a waiver if the whole website is down
 
I am calling - perhaps I should also send an e-mail although that takes 3 days sometimes for a reply

It's not the reply you need, it's the proof that you TRIED within the proper time limit - they know they are down. And don't they have until the 5th of the month to submit a waiver? (Not sure but the business guide should say)

Of course it seems slow if you're getting hammered. Drinking and submitting don't mix.

Oh, wait, you're probably talking about the site getting hammered with lots of attempts to submit. That's different. Nevermind. [She said, channelling Emily Litella.]

I'm soooo glad I can jump on CS and get my chuckles for the day!:D That's a quote to remember Rae!
 
Emily's "Violins (Violence) on Television" tirade is my favorite.

And now back to the original topic of this thread. Try the link that was posted. It got me right in.
 
I can't get in!!!
 
I can get in, but everytime I try to go to a different screen it times out on me......I have 2 on-line orders that I can't view - and I need the CC#'s to close this show!
 
Beth,

I just sent an email with the copy of my show showing the time I submitted the show. I do hope it works, but if it doesn't at least I tried :) Thanks for the tip!
 
I hope it's back up later. I still haven't submitted my kit enhancement order (I know, I know, I had all month) & need to do it today!
 
Still not having any luck getting to CC. I also tried the link posted earlier, and I can't get in.

Very frustrating!!
Tracy
 
I just tried getting in again, with the link provided on page one of this thread, and now cannot even get into that! UGH!
 
I can't even get on to PC's main website.
 
I just called and she said we need the proof that it was submitted successfully. So if you are able to get it in the window, so to speak, you will have that proof. She said it will still count too. I do hope she is right.
 
I Just logged into CC! Don't know how long it will be up...but so far so good.
 
I just got on too!
 
I just got on, but when I went to do my show options it gives me the
"your time has expired"
I am getting frustrated!!!!
