Fuku purchase bug report
2I figure the Meh engineering team (mehgineers?) probably aren't big enough suckers to stay up late and try to buy a Fuku themselves. So, they probably didn't get to see tonights server failure from the customer perspective & might find some (hopefully detailed enough) reports helpful.
Here was my experience tonight:
- Went to @wearemeh (because it often loads faster than meh.com at 12), which had a posting about the fuku (twitter showed it as 7 seconds ago, so I guess I was super quick).
- Went to meh.com, which loaded fine. Clicked purchase button.
- Purchase pane loaded fine. I scrolled down and hit submit.
- Green bar stopped near the end because I hadn't clicked the "I'm not a robot button"
- Clicked I'm not a robot & submit (i did not wait for the captcha to process)
- submit progress kept looping for a while. I started opening up a 2nd tab & otherwise mucking around trying to get a 2nd shot at a fuku
- After a few minutes, I notice recaptcha has a timeout error. I click it again, and am greeted with an ugly error that I can't recall (seemed like a JS var wasn't set or something)
- Accidentally clicked out of that order page, was met with lots of fail pages, never got the purchase pane to load again.
- Aprox 10 minutes later, I get my orders page to load. It shows my order processed! at 12am!
- I realize that I probably just successfully ordered even more built cases. Or worse.
I tried to put down everything I could remember. If I had been thinking, I would have taken a screenshot of the weird JS errors. Anyway, it seems that there was a minor recaptcha failure (minor because it did not prevent me from purchasing) & a failure of the order process completing (never got a confirmation).
And now, I sit and wait for wimpy-deep-mystic to arrive.

The captcha time out error was that it couldn't reload -- invalid parameters or some-such message. By then, my order had already been submitted, so i stopped trying... and opened up a new tab and started trying from a 2nd account. site went black for almost 2 hours.
