Announcement
I realized yesterday how clunky and frustrating my current flash sale format experience through the website has been. A few people missed out on the opportunity to enter the sale due to browser caching, or the page not refreshing or displaying properly. Yet you all soldiered on, dealing with the ****ty-ass system and listening to me tell you to just keep refreshing.
Not. Anymore.
Now, when the countdown timer runs out, a button will magically appear on the page (no refreshing required). Simply click it to be taken to the familiar Entry Form page. At the top, I've placed a handy countdown that will show you how many seconds you have left to enter before the sale closes. Enter your info, hit submit, and that's it. Please note that once the countdown reaches 0, you will be booted back to the Forgemas page, regardless of where you are in your submission. Once the sale ends, the button will disappear and the page will no longer be accessible.
I'm hoping this will take some of the frustration and anxiety out of the experience for you, and for me. It might just seem like I added a stupid button and a timer, but there's a good amount going on behind the scenes to make it all work together smoothly.
If anybody has any feedback about the new process, please let me know. I will be updating the Rules section of the page and making minor tweaks to it today. It may go down at times, so no worries. If you see any issues, please let me know as well. Thanks everyone!
