Thanks for gir bot and the ability to add secondary email addresses. I thought I had them setup to be the same but I guess I was wrong.

This technique of handing out kickstarter goodies has gone through a few iterations of testing.  This round is the biggest test yet:  more than 800 people.  So far it seems nobody has reported a problem?  I take it that this is going smoothly for everybody?

There were a few emails saying that they followed the link but were still expected to pay, but I think they might not have been logged on.  Haven't heard back from them yet.

I was logged on and still got this message just above the download bar...


You can now purchase the notes Tim will use while teaching the course. Just click in the payment box below.

Thank you for your purchase! Please click on the link below to download the notes.



It went straight to the download anyway though.

Ok, I may just be dense but I cannot seem to get the download to work. Here is my scenario:

1. I got bot email telling me emails did not match. I clicked link to add another email.
2. System asked if I wanted to merge accounts. I said yes (I think I did this via link in confimation email). It said merge completed successfully.
3. Clicked on link for candy. It says to pay $37....asks for payment info.
4. I logged into permies...then clicked link again. Same thing happened...It wants me to pay.

Can someone help me?
thanks in advance

The "merge accounts" feature is brand new.  I think it is something like two days old.  So it is possible that there could be a bug.  I am alerting the developer to see if he has any suggestions on what might be happening.

Maybe this will help troubleshooting:
I tried to login and password reset of the email address which I had used for the kickstarter (gmail address). But the system says it does not exist anymore. So it appears that my work address (which is what I was registered to permies.com) is the only one that exists now.

I clicked on the link to add secondary email again. It DOES show the gmail address listed now. So that appears ok. But somehow the instructor notes do not associate the gmail address.

Just before steve posted here, I gave nearly 1000 people access to the hugelkultur micro documentary.   Naturally, this is the place to report any issues with getting that.   But it would be nice to hear a few success stories as well - just to know that the emails made it out okay and all of our stuff is working correctly.

I got the hugelkutture documentary, the system remembered the extra email address I added earlier.

Great job with this feature.

additionally you may want to make a note on the page that the documentary is for more people then just the ones that supported the world domination Kickstarter, seeing how that is the first thing that shows up in the video.

This is new!

What is your browser and operating system?

Any other interesting bits on your end that might give us a clue as to what is going on?

Are other people able to watch the video okay?

Chrome Version 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit) running on Mac OSX 10.10.5.

Attached is a screenshot of what I see.

(EDIT:  The screenshot has a weird reddish cast when I upload it for some reason but I'm not seeing that color on my end, FYI)

Do you have any blockers in your browser?  I have a few that prevent flash and other video-thingies from playing.  I have to turn them off to watch some videos.

AHH!!  Raven was right on!  My "Privacy Badger" Chrome addon caused it not to work.  With that disabled for Permies, I now see the video!   Thanks!

I have no idea why my profile is saying 'Live Fit" my profile here is PermaMamma... and I have plenty of confirmation from Kikstarter that I DID support
I'm getting all kinds of update emails from them. I'm backer number 885, so maybe it just hasn't been sent to me yet. Patience is a virtue

I received 2 separate emails, one saying Project Update  10 and the other 11. They both said I should have already received an email with one for access to PDC teacher's notes and the other for the Hugelkulture. However, I didn't receive the emails with the actual access. I did check my spam folder. Any ideas?

Steve,
I just looked up for your records, and it looks like there is a little bug in our software. We will fix it by tomorrow if not today.

It looks like email was sent to you.  And I can see that you have access to https://permies.com/wiki/37907

Is it possible that the email is in your spam?

I have asked two of our email experts to have a look here to see if they can sort out what happened.

It sounds like the planets aligned for a few people, including you, just right and you didn't get the email.  

You have full access to the candy, but you don't have the email.  It sounds like a fix will go in tomorrow so that our future emails to you will end up working.  In the meantime, here are the links to ....

Hello,  Hate to say but I can't seem to get any of the downloads in the Downloads for Kickstarter either.  I can see the list however, when I click on items they are only available if I pay again for each one... Guess I'm not Lucky.  Glad I'm not alone though.

So just keep checking here or sending New Emails to us UnLucky Ones?

Thanks.

I am struggling to understand what you are saying.

You have supported the kickstarter at a level that gives you live access.   Have you seen the live stuff?

Hello Paul,

I too received the update emails (10, 11) from kickstarter, but did not see a separate email about accessing the candy. From your links in the post above, I do indeed have access.

I checked spam, but regularly clear it so I may have missed the email there. What address would it be coming from so I can try and tag it?

Also, is there a place in my permies account that would show my access to these candy items?

thank you for all the you do! looking to help work out the kinks as best as possible.
