The Giant

got obey confirmation email as well. all in all this was more like the usual buying experience, probably because traffic was lower overall.

anyway, i'm out. wishing all of you the best of good buys ...

Well good on ya

Ah god #12325 this was a harrowing 45 hours. If you're counting, from print drop to now took about an hour and a half of connection attempts.

See y'all next week though

Suggestions since OG is making changes - There's got to be some way to checkout without having to hit the OG servers 4 times. (1. Store page, click add to cart > 2. cart page, click checkout > 3. on the way back from paypal after clicking continue > 4. confirm order.) Each one takes 20 minutes or more of retries.

It'd also be awesome if the server could prioritize "confirm order" and the return-clicks from paypal over people trying to load the product page. Help get people who are 3/4ths done with the process out of the way so they aren't hammering the same server as everyone else.

I was also f*cked again with the shopping cart, and my wife had to get the print. I went through the entire process and at the confirm order step I still had a "vote" in my cart which kicked me back to step 2, checkout. I deleted my obeygiant.com cookies days ago, checked my cart multiple times, after I was screwed the same way for "vote." It must be getting my cart based on my paypal ID? But the only way to check that cart is to go through the paypal process and bail at the last minute, I think... I will do that but what a bummer to be bitten twice by that.

MEDIC!

Stickee any luck yet?

Is there a link? If so give it a crank.

No link, but it gave me a username and password? Username and password to what? I am helpless and stupid.

This is the same thing that's happened to me. On one hand, it's a good sign, because it means that some info from my attempt at Paypal made it through to the OG site. But after hitting "continue" on the paypal screen I timed out instead of doing the final step to confirm my order. I keep refreshing the post-paypal page, and it's a little strange. Sometimes after I refresh, it's been saying "checkout_confirmation" in the URL, other times it has a longer string that includes something like Payer ID. I sure hope I'm on the right track here.

Sorry if all us Obama nerds are making it harder on those of you who are normally trying to buy prints.

receipt from paypal but nothing yet from og. should i start to worry?

the secret is not thinking that since you were in first that you are guaranteed a print before others behind....this sh1t dont work that way....keep trying

you should start to worry when you can't even get through...like myself....urrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh

stuck in car going to a bar. I'm frankfurter!!!

What's the trick guys...I have it in my cart but can not check out. Keep getting page load errors. Someone PM me the trick please!

After I almost lost "hope" trying to add it to my cart, Im now trying to pay through paypall, which Im sure will be another half hour of refreshing.

ive been trying for a bit, but no luck...

My experience has been that after timing out on the PayPal continue, I've had to re-connect to PayPal through the express checkout link from the shopping cart, and go through the PayPal process again. Once you get anything back from obey after the PayPal continue, you're pretty much good to go. Put that url in all your open sessions and wait for Step 3 of 3 window. Then search for the "confirm" button which will likely be one of the last to appear. (You can click it even if it hasn't appeared.) It'll link to http://www.obeygiant.com/store/index.ph ... ut_process if memory serves. Check your e-mail for PayPal confirmation and Obey confirmation and you're good to go.
