I'm kind of jaded from the first 2 beta tests where I couldn't even log on.  The second one I never got past the agreement page.  I'll pass on this one.

I had the same problem the first two times around.  It seems to be running better since I could actually register this time.

These are all beta tests, gentlemen. Problems were expected and most were fixed.

The first few hours today were a little choppy but they've ironed out many bugs and all appears to be running smoothly..

Come in and see if you can break it. That's what the test is for.

If you find any issues, email us at betatest@cigarsniper.com

Thanks a million.

I understand what you are saying Humberto and don't take it the wrong way.  It's like if I was test driving a prototype car and didn't have the key to even get in the car.  I understand it happens I just found it frustrating.  At this point, having been through 2 beta tests I don't know if I got free bids or not or anything, I feel like I just wasted my time.  Maybe I'm not cut out to be a beta tester because I have the patience of a teenager at a whore house. :confused: Best of luck and maybe I'll stop by when it goes live.  I'm still curious to see how it works.

Sadly, once again Canadians aren't invited. That's ok though, probably saving myself a ton of money by not playing along with this one.

No hard feelings, man.. But the site is working fine now..

You probably didn't get any free bids if you didn't fill out the survey at the end.. But I'm sure you would this time around..

You don't have to partake.. but you're missing a pretty good time.. It sounds like a war zone here in the office.

Cheers!

You're invited to test the site.. But we won't be shipping across our boarders when the site does go live.

Not sure if that makes a difference to you.

Its like going to a strip club, Greg.  You can look and have fun, but in the end you're getting nothing.  :biggrin:

At least your testing, Humberto!  That's more than the Gubmint does.  We've been "live" with a new program/system since late September.  I overheard a conversation between the head of the program and the IT developer.  A week ago in which the developer said "You didn't tell me the volume was going to be that huge.  I was expecting 10 or 20 an hour and wrote the program for that, not the 300/hour you're telling me you're getting!"  To which his Gubmint counterpart replied "We didn't know..."

I feel for you brother. Sometimes it can suck being from Canadia where the air is cool and fresh because the gubbermint said so.

I know this was a month ago.  I, like lopro, could never even get registered on the site for the test.  What bothers me much more is that I email them like Humberto suggest and never received a reply.  I'm okay with a beta test not working but I'm not happy my email has never been responded to.  Maybe I needed to point out I am with Cigar Geeks.  I hope the customer service gets fixed before the site comes up.  I don't see myself ever using it.
