Brad Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 The extensive press coverage of the site has gotten to the point where it looks like next week we may have to have the "lite" version of the BF site for the entire week next week. Weekends are less busy, so we should be fine having the full BF site up this weekend. Therefore, I would advise anyone who hasn't already done a shopping list and wants to make one, that you do it now and print it out before Monday. And for those who already have your list created, I would advise that you save/print it sometime over the weekend, just to be safe. Pretty much all the ads are going to be out by Monday, so this shouldn't be too much of an inconvenience as there won't be that many items added. We're still working on getting the shopping lists working next week, but with so many people adding/removing items from their lists at the same time, it really is a drain on the server. I'm pretty confident that you will be able to at least retrieve an existing list through Friday of next week, but as for adding/changing items, it's not guaranteed that the functionality will be available - we're working on it but we wanted to let you know either way. Therefore to be safe, save and/or print your list over the weekend, and we'll do our best to make sure as much functionality is available next week. We still are hoping to do the online e-mail alerts for items on your shopping lists starting Thanksgiving Day. And we promise, next year we shouldn't have any of these issues. This stuff took us by surprise this year but it won't happen again
heavenlysshine Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 I have not been getting email alerts for ads/scans for days now. I even tried signing up again to get them, just in case something happened when we started getting flooded with people. It's still not working. Can someone check on this for me as I really want this to be up and running so I can get online email alerts? TIA! ~H~ We still are hoping to do the online e-mail alerts for items on your shopping lists starting Thanksgiving Day. And we promise, next year we shouldn't have any of these issues.

sperdue Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Thanks for the heads up. It's really cool that the site has taken off so much this year. I'm glad for you guys.
erh12275 Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 I suppose this means no online notification either? Oh well maybe next year.
pcsoon Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Hope people read and heed. I personally would not like losing my list. :)
laffnatu Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Is the shopping list unavailable now? Either it is gone or I am as blind as a bat. EDIT::: Nevermind! I'm as blind as a bat. I found it now. lol
SuperMommy Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Thanks for the heads up!! I was thinking about going ahead and printing my list but wasn't doing it yet. I definately will now!! :)
treasure60 Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I went through and did my entire list up last evening. I printed it out so I am all set now,,,just waiting for BF to arrive!
higbee Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 how do you get to the shopping list feature?
fancher212 Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 Oh, no I didn't see this and think I have lost my shopping list. You know this really bites! Oh well, I guess I will just have to make a new list by hand.

Seedillume Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Well, I have been away from home, so I didn't see this thread. Is there still a way to get to my list. This is a major inconvienence.
unreal Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 crap. i made a list and saved it, but didnt print it out yet... anyway to get it now?
Seedillume Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Fabulous! Brad stated in another thread that you can view your list here, but you cannot edit it. Although, copy-n-pasting could be helpful with editing. :)
