Crashing the website – Registration
YES! We opened classes!
YES! I sent out the email to the membership first, as I always do, before trying to send one to the general public. I had to spend 30 minutes removing MEMBERS email addresses from the PUBLIC email list so that we could still use the free service to notify the public that the registration is open.
PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THE MAILCHIMP EMAIL NOTIFICATION LIST IF YOU ARE ALREADY A MEMBER! You get the email through the membership list, and you do not need the 2nd email to tell you that registration is open.
If you were sitting there, hitting refresh over and over, you have locked up the website by doing so. In your rush to get into the class you wanted, you have caused it to be slow, “jump all over the place” and not take your money.
Please! Do not panic. Do not encourage your friends to sit and click on the refresh button over and over waiting for it to open. Do not encourage non-members to worry about getting into classes or not. It is making it all dramatically worse, and even causing me to not be able to open classes on time, and worse, if there is a problem, I cannot get in to the website to correct any problems because the system is busy trying to show you exactly the same screen as before when you hit refresh.
Class Registration OPEN for session 5, 2024
Class registration is now open to everyone.
PLEASE REFRESH YOUR BROWSER TO SEE THE UPDATED SITE!
Please note: if you sit around day after day hitting refresh on the website, you WILL fill your browser’s memory with the old version of the site. Please clear your cache before hitting refresh again if you don’t see the updated site.
