Title says it all. I apologize for it taking so long this year, but hope you will all like the results.

Please do read the directions on each page of the form very carefully, as a few things are subtly different this year.

You will receive two emails this year: one when you put in your registration information, and one when your payment clears. If you don't get the first one, check your spam box.

Let me know if anything goes pear-shaped.

And also, thank you all for being patient about this. If you didn't notice before, the $35 rate was extended to Nov 30th, so you have a plenty of time to take advantage of it via online.

omgtroll.

We just need a notification for the main Anime Boston page as well. Other than that, I think we should be good. I have been spreading the word around, so people will know and jump on the opportunity.

138. Not as bad as I honestly figured, what with the delays and the cons for pre-reg was up at.

[quote]I moved after I sent in my pre-registration or I changed my e-mail address. How can I update my address, badge name, etc.?
You can make changes like this via the prereg status page. Note that this is the only way to change your badgename this year; you will not be able to change it at the con.[/quote]

Where exactly would I find this? I get to the status page, and could not find it. I may be changing my badge name in the future, so I would like to know ahead of time. I am guessing when it lists you as being fully paid and set, it will be open, but if not, could someone kindly tell me where this is?

First of all, congratulations on getting it up and running. *cheer*

Unfortunately, I came across something strange when I went to register my sister and myself. She's 15, but on the confirmation page, it said that a $10 discount had been applied to her badge. Isn't that only applicable for children under 13?

This happened to me too for some of the people I was paying for, but when it was totaled on the last page it had the (correct) full membership price.

Yukito - You should receive an email confirming your registration. In that email would be a status code and a link to the status page. You would click that link and enter the code to check your status.

Risikafox - Thanks for pointing that out, I will have Jon look into it.

Did that, and I see no area to edit your badge name. I take it you have to wait for it to be received before any of that though.

Edit: Oh, ok, there is a second code there. Alright, thank you. :)

im happy you guys finally got it up, i was worried it would come up while i was away from my comp and i would miss the $35 rate, so i went on saturday and registered. i am kinda grr? maybe but, the fact that im going to AB makes up for all of that.

hopefully you guys wont have this problem next year, but like everyone else said, thank you so much! you guys totally rock for doing this!

There are two codes in your initial confirm email: your payment code, which lets you access information about your payment record, and your attendee status code, which lets you access information about yourself as an attendee. For changing your badge name, you're going to want the attendee record.

(Note this also means that, if you change your address, you really should change it in both places.)

Thanks...I had a series of problems confusing 13 and 18. That piece of code was written at a very early hour of the morning. It's fixed now.

Hmm. 337. A thousand shy of being 'leet' ;)
