Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I have upgraded the memory in the webserver that is running the Bulk Bricks survey. HOPEFULLY this will stop the issues that some users have been having with their carts getting blown out. In addition I have changed the site this morning, so if an error occurs, then the website will immediately inform me of the error and give me very detailed information that I can use to help identify the problem. Really sorry for the trouble that some users had - we knew this survey would be popular, but never in my wildest dreams think we would generate the traffic it did. FYI - yesterday traffic to the PaBTrak website was 3 times the amount that my company's website had. My companies website is one of the busier ones out there and runs on a 6 webserver, 4 database server farm, made up of very powerful machines. The PaBTrak server by comparision runs on an old underpowered single server - so in hindsight, I'm not suprised it stuggled! The extra memory is a short term 'bandaid', but in order to help future developments, I have today ordered myself a new fast server with bags of memory and processing power! So, sorry once again for the problems some of you had. Hopefully the survey should be much more robust now. Richard www.briktrak.com www.pabtrak.com

(...) Thanks again for putting this together, Richard. I hope that the high amount of traffic to your poor web server is an indication to TLG that the AFOL population is very excited about possible future bulk element offerings. -Bryan (20 years ago, 12-May-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.color)

		Top secret project - we need your help
All, Richard and I (mostly Richard, thanks Richard!) have been working on a new survey tool to get a better handle on the AFOL part desires. We have been working on a super top secret project – we’ll call it Project X - for many months now, and it’s (...)
