I’ve just been told that kid registration messages are last in the queue. It should be on its way in the near future.

Thanks!

Will we get an individual email for him, or will we have to stand in line.

I must say that I’m with the others — it doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense to jump through these additional hoops. At the moment, it’s looking as if registration is going to be rather a pain in the ass, which is definitely not what I was hoping for when I preregistered.

Registration is in the process of sending individual emails to everyone with a pre-paid membership. These emails will allow people to print their AUP w/barcode as outlined in yesterday’s news update http://tinyurl.com/bv326xz . If you have not received your copies by the evening of the 20th, please contact them directly.

Thank you,
Felice

I received an email with a link that started with:

aup_page.php?encryp_string=

Naturally, this did not work. Based on the links given on this page, I appended the cm.norwescon.org info at the beginning of that link, and got:

ERROR
Encrypted string seems to be corrupted.

I never received any messages with either of the master strings.

Rest assured you have been heard. If searching your email (including your SPAM folder) for the convention master strings
(http://cm.norwescon.org/ or http://norwescon.orgconvention_master/) does not yield a message allowing you to print your receipt with barcode (and thereby skip a line) you will still be able to print the barcode item from the registration kiosks at the convention.

There will be member-specific emails sent out no later than Monday with additional information. We’ll also be sending a registration process email to everyone on the eNewsletter list as a back-up.

Your registration system was supposed to make things easier, not more difficult.

I never received these 2 e-mails from Norwescon.
How do I proceed?

Is this to prove who they are? But you are already requiring the person to produce a photo ID.

Can you offer me one reason why the convention should not just check in in advance everyone who has paid and preregistered, print out their badges, and just hand the badge to the person at the event when they produce their photo ID?

This kind of barcode system makes sense if you are purchasing tickets to a ticketed event like a concert, and the printout at home replaces your ticket and serves as your identification. Norwescon is not that kind of event, and is checking every person’s ID anyway. WTF?

Thanks!
