RS Order form authorisation code input

[werner]

Not sure if anybody else has got this email form RS< but the page they link to has an input form for "authorisation code"  (as supplied in the email) but I am unable to type/paste anything into this box...

Using Chrome and IE (spawn of satan)

Anybody else experiencing this?

[mburns02]

I'm having exactly the same issue.

[nimdy]

Yup I've just had this too. Not working in FF, IE or on two other machines

[chickey]

Me too, think it must be an error on their website.

Interesting it's on a first come first served basis even with the reservation code, wonder if they've only sent out reservations which match the initial stock they are getting or have they sent this out to the first 5k or so say ?

Wow things are really starting to happen now.

I _guess_ they have disabled it until they are ready to ship, as RS will only take your money when they have stock they can ship.

Just wondering when did you register with RS?

[shirro]

The input is disabled and I don't see any javascript to enable but I couldn't be bothered looking too thoroughly. I expect my Element14 order will arrive before I get an email from RS.

Same here so close but yet so far ....

I've only just heard about this - I checked with RS, and they're aware there's a problem. They're trying to fix it as fast as they can.

I assume this is the offending code ...but I'm no expert:

<input name="ctl00$pageContentHolder$txtPromoCode" type="text" id="ctl00_pageContentHolder_txtPromoCode" disabled="disabled" class="txtPromoCode" />

My guess is this is only for the initial stock - I was pretty early and haven't received an email...

[northwarks]

I got in about 6.05am on launch day just before all the sites went down ....

ASP.NET - now that's the very definition of offensive code!

There are several horrible Microsoft web form javascript files one of which has a function to enable form elements. Not having an email it is hard to know if you need some special url to trigger things. I am not really caring too much. Element14, you have had my card for six weeks - just take my money.

We're getting reports that it's working again now.

[werner]

it says "enter store" but just loops and goes nowhere for me. code input box works though.

Yup having the same issue

[S0litaire]

not working for me either

which is lucky... ^_^ (no cash) Boo!!

[Wizzard]

Same here, code box works but I cant enter store.

[shirro]

Hah. Click on Cancel order (bottom) then on the shopping cart (top right) and you get an error page with links to the people responsible for building this trash. Must be a proud moment for them.

I was pretty sure I got my 'registration' in at 6:03, but I must've been wrong on the time.  Either that, or they are assigning stock by territory - i.e. 06:05 US would come before 06:03 UK.  Who know.  I'm sure I'll get an email sooner or later - a few days isn't the end of the world.
