We have just received word from the company constructing our new site that it will not be ready in time for our release tomorrow night. Here are the details that we wanted you to know…
-Our NEW forum will still be going live tonight @ 8pm (EST). They finished that portion of our project. It is on our NEW server, so it is practically impossible for it to crash. Yay!!!
-Our NEW homepage graphics will sill be going live tonight as well. When you see the birthday graphics, you will know that it is ready.
-You will need to click on the "Free Stamps for a Year" button on the new homepage to register for the new forum. This will also automatically register you for the contest.
-We will be utilizing our old website for purchases during the release tomorrow night. We are already anticipating that it will crash @ midnight due to the number of people refreshing. Remember to try retyping the address in your browser without the www (just papertreyink.com) to attempt accessing the site via a different path. It usually takes approximately 15-30 minutes to recover from the crash.
-The new website is now slated to be revealed next Saturday (02/22/08).
Hang in there, Nicole. Everything will be ok. I’m sure you are very frustrated right now. You’re doing a great job.
Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for letting us know I can’t wait!
Is there any news on out of stock stamps? I am waiting to place an order to qualify for the anniversary set….
Thanks
Suzy
The site is up! whoo-hoo!! I am so excited, I began my registration immediately but I am not getting an email to complete activation. How long does it take? I’m on pins and needles!!!
Sorry to hear about the challenges! Soon it will all be a memory.
Smiles,
Anne

I can see the site with the birthday graphics. I can access the forum — I can’t register.
Help me Obi Wan, you’re my only hope.
Loydene
Same problem as Loydene. Can see the GORGEOUS new graphics, can’t register! Yikes! I’m going to enter that new contest if it kills me, so I’m going to keep trying till it works!
Thanks for the “heads up”! I am sure that the web company never really anticipated such a response to register from the beginning.
Know that you and your team have done everything possible to keep things running like a top!
Hang in there!!!!!!! We will be persistent to get our hands on the New Release!
I too can see the new graphics but when I try to register I get this message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/phpBB3/includes/functions_user.php on line 2414
-*Linda*-
Here is the message I get when I try to register — using either Firefox OR Safari — I can’t register with either browser
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/phpBB3/includes/functions_user.php on line 2414
sorry to hear it won’t all be up and running but that is okay!! I am trying to sign up for the new forum also but I’m getting the same syntax error. I am assuming it is because of high traffic??? I hope so!!! I wan’t to chat on the new site!!! 🙂
I got the same message as Linda above:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/phpBB3/includes/functions_user.php on line 2414
I am another one who keeps getting the error message when I try to register!!
I was afraid this would happen. I’m not able to register either and am getting the same syntax error message.
I’m getting the same error message and can’t register…
So far I keep getting an error message when I try to register.
I’m also getting the error message when I try to register. Seems like the rest of the links in that area work tho. Help me as I really want to enter that contest. I love Papertrey stamps!
Deb
I’m getting the parse error too.
Well poo – I can’t register either! Maybe later (I can’t get past the I agree to these terms part – and I really do agree, really I do!!)
The website looks fab – can’t wait to see what’s coming…
Hey everyone…keep trying! I was able to get on this evening. Yipee!!!
Good luck to all :o)
Hey Nicole, I’ve been trying to register and finally got past the error, now I’m waiting for a confirmation e-mail. Help!!!!
It WILL happen!! and we will be there! Breathe……
I did get registered, and figured out what I did wrong.
On the Papertrey home page, if you click in the circle labeled “Birthday Bash” (with the cupcake), that tells all about the Birthday Bash, you find a LINK that says “Register as a user…”.
I thought that took me to the registration page, but it didn’t. It took me to the login page.
The only way to get to the registration form is to go back to the home page and click in the blue box that is labeled “Free Stamps for a year Contest”.
I think the registration part was overloaded and that’s why we got the error messages. I kept trying and finally got registered. Woohoo – I’m excited.
Ok, I’m registered, but anytime I try reading a topic in the forum I get this message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF, expecting ‘{‘ in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/phpBB3/includes/bbcode.php on line 52
So I can see topics but I can’t open the thread…bugs, bugs, bugs… 🙂
Well, I got registered and I got my activation email, but when I go to the link for Free stamps for a year, I get a error message. PLEASE, I want to enter!!!
OK I’m registered, but can’t get to anything else. I’m sure this is part of the new site coming online. So were will the party be tomorrow? If the new site isn’t up?
I can’t log in to the site, it said I need to activate my account, but I don’t know how to do that! HELP!!!!
Take a deep breath Nichole. Everything will turn out okay. So what if we have to wait a few more days for the new site. That is part of PTI, but the important things are the stamps, paper, ink, etc. That’s what I’m excited about. Sure, I would have loved the new site, but as long as I can purchase from the old site I,m okey dokey with that!!!!
This is so very pretty! And I love the packaging which will make easy storage!
I tried from two different directions on two different browsers — through the “free stamp” and through the “birthday” — on the forum page, there is a “registration” button .. at the top, and at the bottom — I get the same “syntax parse” error message every time. I haven’t tried yet this morning
I registered last night around 10:00 pm and I’m still waiting for my activation email. Why is it that some people have account activation and others do not?
Looking forward to tonight! See everyone there!
Hugs,
Renee

So much information, so fast, can’t get enough….Now what do I have to have first.
No registering here! I can’t get anything to load. Ah well, I’m sure it will all work out in the end. These sorts of things just happen. 🙂
