So much for not having to do this during the work day. Looks like I'll have to find out when this is so I can plan a day long project for students so we can get what we need this year. Saturday seemed like such a great idea...

I'm not seeing a self-signed certificate anyway. Back to the AlphaSSL certificate it was using yesterday.

It's bad security practice, and calls into question how well the data is safeguarded. I'm okay with using self-signed for my personal projects where I'm just encrypting a stream; I expect better from a commercial site with real use and real consequences for a data breach.

Looks like it doesn't matter anyway. I applaud AndyMark for being willing to make this call instead of the website having issues while live.

If you like your 3d printer, you can keep your 3d printer. . .

Ok, never-mind. Have a good Sunday everyone. Keep on truckin away Andy. I can't imagine how frustrating this is for you and your team.

Are we going to have a "FIRST Choice Report" following the investigation to determine the root cause?

This situation does call to mind a certain other website doesn't it? :rolleyes:

Well, hopefully 3rd time will be the charm.

In my opinion this is unacceptable, Andymark is just wasting everyone's time. I postponed my Sunday plans on the understanding that the site would be fixed!

They should have allowed more time to fix the problem and not subject everyone to this time waster :| . I understand that it is hard to troubleshoot a large site but they could have at least given themselves more time to fix the problem, rather than give false promises.

Thanks Andymark for making a prompt decision to delay. I know this is as frustrating to you as to us.

To reiterate: postponed indefinitely. >=24-hours notice before it gets reopened.

They need to switch the initial opening to a lottery based system. Give your top ~10 choices within a 2 week window and let an algorithm sort out who gets what.
