Nobody emptied your cart. Where you logged in when you filled your cart up?reubanks:

Well, I had gotten to the checkout phase several (SEVERAL) times, but instead of opening the page, Firefox tries to save it to the Desktop. This happens when a PHP page is not properly coded.KofS:
Regex:
Tried it, doesn't do a damn thing.KofS:
maybe i should try it in lynx…I’m still pissed that they botched the php content type…
wait, what did they do?
It’s over. I got to the confirmation page and the message was "Sorry! Looks like Free Day is over.
The maximum limit of $100,000 has already been reached. You are still welcome to place your order, but no discounts will be applied"
1H:44M:50S It’s over

What a giant failure.
they did forsee the problem and they (thought they had) prepared. But I guess they severely underestimated the load or did not have enough experience to properly prepare for it (or both)

Exactly, I was able to login and see my cart was empty and then nothing. My cart was full last night.
I’ve never ordered from SparkFun, but I was going to order 200$ worth of stuff on my order. Too bad. I don’t think I’ll ever order with them after this.
now I’m actually hoping the credit card page DOESNT load so I can take some things out of my cart… sigh

Dude, I took one shot for SparkFun… and no breakfast yet, I think I’m done. LOL
My order didn’t go through. Booooo!
But at least I’m buzzed now! w00t!
Ugh - I’m on the confirmation page and the bottom of the page says “Sorry! Looks like Free Day is over.”
I’ve been trying to checkout for over an hour and a half. Suck.
I like how pissed off some of you are. That’s hilarious.
“I’ll never shop here again!”

I can tell by the way you botched that quote! :lol: :lol:
What a colossal cluster fuck! I’ve been a loyal Sparkfun customer up until now, but this is enough for me. They’ve lost me as a customer forever.
I’m taking my business to Mouser.
Well that was a waste of 3 hours
My order completed during the one minute window when they restarted the servers.
Thanks SparkFun! Ill be back!

I feel your pain. I was on that page at 9:05 and it just booted when i pressed the button. Oh well, lets see how long it takes them to recovers after this.
