Same. They need to make a better system.
When you set a timer for the next sale and click on buy within seconds of it being available and get screwed by the endless green bar and captcha timeouts.
DISABLE THE TIMEOUT. IF WE PASSED CAPTCHA ONCE IT’S STILL VALID.
First time I got the error, “Sorry we cannot complete your order because we don’t know which item you’re buying.” May not be worded exactly but that was the general idea of the message.
This site loads way too slowly for me to even think about trying for one of these - it took 2 full minutes. (And I have a fast connection.) Does that imply that the server gets overloaded? (Seriously, just wondering…)
@cbl_wv Yes. about 10,000 mehtizens all refresh the page when the countdown clock hits zero. The Apple II computers Meh uses as servers definitely choke when that happens
Green bar cycled at least a dozen times, then I got a “Wow, these are selling fast…” message, then immediately that it was sold out. No issues with being a robot this time at least, but somehow it had my credit card info blank. Odd how that never happens when I’m buying anything else. Sigh.
Okay, I won’t take everything back about what I said earlier but this helps with my forgiveness maybe until this piece of crap box arrives. You will receive a greased hinged full if its not worth double that spent.

@lyoness Same here. ibid. You can say that again. However, I do know that I am not optimizing my interweb by shutting down EVERYTHING else and only doing meh clicks.
It worked this time. Green bar over and over. page did not refresh but window went away… Checked orders page and there it was
/giphy boisterous-assured-strudel
Is anyone else having this problem? I hit the buy button and then the “I’m not a robot” box the status bar goes through its thing several times and after that I get a message that states I haven’t clicked on it…
@lichme
Is it about how frustrated users are getting over getting to the payment screen and then getting timeouts?
They need a “just buy it already” setting to bypass the whole intermediate thing of confirming your address.
Just put a capcha below the buy button on the product page.
@cfg83@Suffield11 Definitely harder. Couldn’t get one last time when they were doing 100 at a time and I figured my IRK days had come to an end even though I had gotten over 10 before. But low and behold-got one of the fabulous 50 at 8 am this morning. So don’t give up.

First to buy this one!
so close
This IRK broke the interwebs.
Ugh I’m never going to get this
Missed…
/giphy grandiose-yummy-respect
/giphy awestruck-underrated-flea
awwww yeah!
Daaang, that one took almost 2 minutes to sell out. Meh community must be having their midafternoon crash
@triavalon by the time the page even loaded for me it was sold out.
clicked as soon as it appeared and still got screwed

Beep beep boop boop. (I assume if you failed CAPTCHA you now understand Robot.)
@lichen are you my brother?
@lichme
In spirit!
Third, which is apparently too late to score an IRK
I swear the little green bar is out to get me…
Holy hell I actually got one. I never thought I’d be quick enough.
/giphy judicious-lurching-trip
Is meh running really slow or does my phone suck this time around? Taking me forever to get anything to load.
@thecloudy1 Meh’s running exceptionally slow, right now.
@Madboy121 good to know. I thought it seemed odd that I can barely get pages to refresh
Finally got one, hopefully it won’t be as regretful as what was just delivered (another set of clip on lenses for my smartphone).
I’d be super happy if they just tossed a couple of meh shirts in a box.
@SnakeJG I’d be happy with the couple of meh shirts also.
Seriously? Page wouldn’t load and then when it did it was sold out?!?!
Fuck you, Captcha.
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.

@support I got the same. Nothing loaded on the top portion after I clicked. I screenshot it because I figured nobody would believe me.
i think someone poured gravy all over the internet
Huh…the goods were sold out but I was still charged for my mehmbership
@abcde_fz yes this happened to me during the last mehrathon, but they will cancel and refund you if you ask
How many do they sell each time? 5? 10?
@Jeraboomo 50
@Jeraboomo This round was 53. The last was 50.
Huzzah!
/giphy voluntary-carnivorous-wood
Yup, that sucked. First the page wouldn’t load, then the green bar just filled over and over again… sold out, naturally. Meh.
@DJP519 same. always the same.
Defeated again. Got all the way through checkout (with robot test), watched the bar load for a minute, and had to do another robot test. Blarg.
53 sold this time. Chances are improving.
I wonder how many orders come in at one second. I bet Digital River could handle it.
Meh: your bandwidth is so…meh.
@Madboy121 worse than meh
the green bar of sadness. grrr. meh.
CAPTCHA sucks donkey balls. Timed out again, and then I lost my place in line.
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
@mediocrebot
Liar.
At least I made it through captcha this time. That’s an improvement over the last 30 times. Relieved to know I’m not a robot.
You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
@mediocrebot gotcha!
Going back to eating my soup for sluts. Capcha can ef. off

I hate that so many people are attempting to buy one of these that the site locks up and then they’re gone
Holy crap! I was literally hovering over the button and it’s still sold out.
Site was so so so slow this time.
THIS IS THE WORST WOOT-OFF EVER
/giphy thievish-level-existence

@lyoness same for me, altho didn’t notice if my credit card info was blank. It seemed particularly slow this time. Good luck on the next one

********* IMPORTANT INFO HERE************

@lichme shhhh…I can’t hear you
To be clear: this was a message for staff without piggybacking another post
@lichme

They need a “just buy it already” setting to bypass the whole intermediate thing of confirming your address.
Just put a capcha below the buy button on the product page.
@lichen Quite the opposite actually, it was about being able to instantly buy an IRK and not having to fight for it - and it’s fixed now
Thanks @Thumperchick
@lichme @Thumperchick
Awesome! How will that work?
POPSOCKETS! SPA KITS! POLLY POCKETS! AWESOME!
@lichen It won’t anymore - it did, it was unintentional, and it’s been fixed
@lichen @lichme So how did you discover it? By way of getting one that way?
@Kidsandliz I prefer to call it debugging
@lichme Hey - those who find
problemsbugs deserve to be “paid”.Only good thing about not being able to get one is I will live forever. I refuse to die until I get one.
I tried, but it kept on reloading the bar. (No captcha.)
Incognito mode had a captcha, but it sold out when I tried purchasing it.
In the meantime, the other attempt timed out.
Apparently the order went through in the meantime.

You may have failed CAPTCHA but on the upside, you’re less of a human.
@FreePasta same happened to me
@mediocrebot
Oh be quiet.
Mother trucker! Getting a IRK was the highlight of my year. I fear I’ll never get one again.
@Star2236 never give up!! Never surrender!!
@candiedisilvio1
I’m not going to, this sites gonna be the death of me.
so vmp offering?
The last 10 or so Irks I have been poised at the mouse ready to go at the first second. I click… sold out. Sigh.
@Suffield11 I think the fact that they are doing ~50 at a time makes it harder. Oh Meh.
@cfg83
@cfg83 @Suffield11 Definitely harder. Couldn’t get one last time when they were doing 100 at a time and I figured my IRK days had come to an end even though I had gotten over 10 before. But low and behold-got one of the fabulous 50 at 8 am this morning. So don’t give up.

CAPTCHA, you have failed this purchase.
As a fellow robot, I understand your pain.
Um I got regret already can I buy another or is there some sort of rules O don’t agree with?
Just got a shipment notification! But shipping FedEx? And a 6”x4”x1” box? What kind of fuckery is this??
@psbales Replying to myself… so still says 6" x 4" x 1" 1 lb box…?! But also says it’ll be here on Friday. Guess I’ll find out soon enough!
@psbales probably just a “holding” size as on another irk thread someone else is reporting the same. Also see a post below on the same topic.
@psbales Grr. Shipment delay. Meh.
Me too…knock off earbuds??
See here for details from a couple of years ago. Looks like default size/weight which gets updated later.
