Glad I found this thread!

First time I've tried to register for Origins as a participant in events, not part of a vendor, and what an ugly mess its been. I thought I was just incompetent, then looked on this thread, and realize it may not be me...

The next day and it is still screwed up.  No Rogue Cthulhu events appear after Thursday and most of the tabletop games don't show.  Not sure what else is messed up since that is what I'm looking for.

A bunch of our events are missing, too.  See if you can find #7841 in the listing

I did not know that the entity that did the programing for registration was a cat.  This explains so much.

If a dog screwed up this badly it would at least feel guilty.

it looks like everything is working now

Now the events are showing up, but you cannot register for them.

These folks are just screw-ups.

I have a feeling their web team is in India.

And this explains everything:

QuoteThe site was throwing Cold Fusion errors left and right. That's right. Event Ready uses Cold Fusion, which was a hot technology sometime back in the mid-1990s while most of us were still writing BASH scripts for the /cgi-bin/ folder.

For me at least it is working.  I cancelled my placeholder events and was able to register for things I wanted to play.

I've got a full schedule.  I'll probably no-show something to go to the dealers room at some point.

I did not get every single event that I wanted, but I got most of what I hoped to get.
