Though I find it odd that a couple folks had the print show up on their screen while my screen--even when I got into the Store over the ensuing 10 minutes-- showed no Elephant. That I don't understand.

The next charity obeygiant should fund is a dedicated psych ward on each coast for those who go nuts spending days on its website without scoring prints. Since the addiction is incurable, maintenance is the only rational treatment: every room would contain a computer on which obeygiant.com was the only accessible site, and every key on the keyboard would be f5.

Hey, if I got through Paypal and then got back to the Obey confirmation page. It had an order number and then I hit submit to accept the address / shipping charges and then it timed out without giving me a final confirmation nor have I got an email from Paypal or Obey - did I get a print?

Did everyone get a Paypal email? I can see that the order went through on paypal ( 2055X) but didn't get a confirmation email.

Same thing happened to me. I don't think I got it though. I hope I'm wrong.

darth is correct. By submitting, you process the order. If you cant process the order, then a print has not been sold.

He could also check his PayPal account and see that no money changed hands. That's another good indication that a transaction did not occur.

I had this same thing happen. Got THROUGH the submit page, and saw the OBEY invoice, but never received a paypal email. Yes, the charge is showing up on my paypal account. I guess only time will tell :)

Not sure why we saw the Elephant and you didn't. I saw it twice on the main prints page, and pulled up the 106 page once.

And no big deal on the Ban comment. I had no idea not everyone could see the print, and I couldn't get back into the forum till the drop was about over. :)

I did see it, and got stuck trying for 45 minutes trying to make final click at Obey Store. I only meant that those first couple posts about seeing and purchasing print happened before most people saw print listed in the Store ... for example ... Shonquan on Thu Apr 09, 2009 5:47 pm ... who confirmed his purchase. Me and others got into Store over next 10 minutes and still didn't see print listed ...

spagucci1 at 5:50 pm,
bdavenport and fukum at 5:51 pm,
MunkeyPants and me at 5:52 pm
rlbchef and toobs at 5:53 pm
Me again at 5:56 (I was in the Store seeing nothing)
MUZZY at 5:57 pm

Like others, I was in the Store and didn't see print listed there until 5:58 -- 11 minutes after it first appeared to certain others. That's odd.

Yeah, I meant I saw it three times before my order processed at approx. 3:40 PST.

I know it's mostly luck. And I'm happy for those who got it. It's just weird that folks were seeing and buying at very same time other folks entered Store and didn't see print listed there.

I also saw the print a few time before the main drop, and all I was doing was refreshing like normal. Got my paypal receipt at 5:45 CST. Had a buddy get one around when I did on his Iphone, so something funky was going on with the server.
