Trying it with Firefox yields the same result.

Newegg's web server is having temporary issues.  Try tomorrow night.

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

Thanks. Thought it was something on my end.

Hey Darwin, watercooling the northbridge isnt gonna do much but add to the water pressure, and to the water temp, get a nice heatsink or a heatsink/fan.

I wasnt planning on water cooling the northbridge.  I'm planning on passively cooling it with a larger copper sink.

Did you check with them about that, or was it just an inference?

Still can't put stuff in my cart. Humbug.

It's been working fine today.  I was playing around at lunch and after work.  I haven't had any issues.

Meh, my dad--the admin--had it set to "Always Block" for some of the sites I'm a member of... including Newegg. The ordering process is working smoothly now.

Just ordered from Newegg. I'm on the "your order is being processed" page, and it looks like I'm being taken to a card verification page. The browser says it's loading the page--and Task Manager says it's running--but the loading bar's been stuck at less than the halfway point now for maybe ten minutes or more, not moving. If I refresh, I might get billed a second time. I already sent a message to the webmaster, but is there anything one of you know of that I could do?

Check your account history on Newegg to see if the order made it through.  I doubt you'd get charged twice unless the web developer was an idiot though (there are some out there).

Well, I certainly feel stupid. Should've checked my inbox before I bothered the webmaster again. Everything's ok.

My inner n00b has been showing recently, I'm afraid.

Orders complete. The stuff should be here by next Friday.
Went with the 19" LCD, Particle. I don't think I'll mind.
