This is open only to members with access to the paid forums so if you want to join, it's time to join!

Any questions can be asked on this thread. We'll make the decision on who gets assigned on December 11th.

Enjoy!

What should I see when I click your link? I'm getting this which doesn't mention anything about Santa.

Apparently the details are a secret too.

Can you try again? I guess the permissions weren't working properly:

"pages/open-road-secret-santa/"

Worked for me. I registered.

It takes me to the pages/ page... No secret santa....

So strange.

Ok here is the link but in a non-clickable format:

https: //openroad. site/pages/open-road-secret-santa/

If you copy and paste what is above in your browser but remove the space after the https:// and between openroad and site. See if that works.

Copied and removed the spaces. Still no joy. Redirects to the top "pages"..

Edit: This is a Chrome issue. It works with IE.

That is so strange! It's just a link, wonder why the heck it's giving people problems.

If others have the same issue and can't get in, let me know and I'll figure out another option.

I'm using Firefox and it still takes me to this https: //openroad. site/pages/ without the spaces. But it works if I use Edge.

Very weird.....

I clicked the link in the original message at the top and it worked for me using Safari


Thanks Jefe'

No joy using my phone, will try tonight on my laptop.

Taking me here:
//openroad.site/pages/

Ok everyone try this link:

pages/2021-open-road-secret-santa/

I have a feeling it's because I used the same name as last year and the system might still think the page is unavailable. With this new URL it should pretty much reset itself. Or so I'm hoping...fingers crossed!

The last posted link worked for me, Thanks.

Worked and in!

that worked - thank you

I am in

In

Awesome, now I know not to re-use URLs as I have so many layers of caching that it takes hours/days for it to all reset.

All good - still learning here!

Hopefully won't get the same chump that stood me up last year......

He asked me to delete his account, so he won't be participating this year.

Right. But this was in regard to last year.

I'll have to see if I have the list saved, if so we'll know the answer!

I originally had @amdavid last year, but it was changed before the gifts were sent. I still have what I would have sent, so if I get you this year, I'll send two gifts

All good. Thanks for raising your hand.

J5 jumped again…..strange cat. Maybe he’ll come back as the anti-porsche.

Only one day left to sign up!

Tomorrow I'll run the assignments!

Signed up. Ho Ho Ho

I'll try to get everyone their names here in the next couple of hours but it might end up being tonight before I can get it all done. Apologies for the delay but it's coming soon!

Just got my Secret Santa. If they ask for gunpowder can I send alcohol?

All done...hopefully!

We had a total of 12 participants this year so if anyone who submitted their info has NOT received a PM from me, please let me know ASAP!

I'm going to create another thread in the Diner in a few days so we can discuss what was received "in private" since this is in the Customer Service forum and is public.

Happy gifting!

Don't you need alcohol to really have fun with guns?

Fernando, do you have a record of who I sent to last year? Want to see whether or not it's the same person.

I'll look into it in about 90 minutes when I get back to my machine. Will let you know soon!

I checked my PMs from last year and found a copy of my assigned recipient.

Last year you had Gregs04.5.

Glad you did too, the knife was a nice gift, thanks.

Thx!

Santa's job is done

New thread in the Diner to discuss what you got and who you think sent it to you:

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3997

My item went out in today's mail. Prolly will be late to the recipient.

Went out yesterday. Still waiting for tracking to show it moving.
Could be a few days late.

EDIT #4: Its moving! (Slowly)
Sitting 26 Hrs Moving 30 min
Sitting 4 Hrs Moving 1 Hr
Sitting 3 Hrs Moving 3 1/2 Hrs
Sitting 45 Min Moving 7 1/2 Hrs
Sitting 12 Hrs Moving 54 Hrs (Hopefully skipping lots of stops, and not in a trailer in the back lot of a UPS yard)

From the space between cities I am expecting 5 to 9 more stops. (I have given up on guessing stops.)

Mine went out a few days ago, but it's going to Canada, it's going to be late.

Greg

Yeah next year we'll start on December 1st instead of the 10th because with our shipping companies getting worse it pays to plan ahead.
