You didn’t hear this from me ;)
klangston October 10, 2009 at 12:00 pm: As a previous customer, I’m disapppointed to find this closed today. The email were confusing. Send out a clearly written promo. I just spent hours previewing the books to pick out my five.
veslach October 10, 2009 at 8:26 am: Ok, well isn’t that annoying… Forgot sitepoint was based in Australia is about UTC+10 or so… Oh well, guess I get to wait for the next sale.
Ken October 10, 2009 at 4:20 am: Just went in to do this and its all black. I could have sworn your email said sale ends 10/30. Please resend a working link.
Chris October 10, 2009 at 4:05 am: Just saw this and clicked on the link in the article, but it says the sale has closed. Is that intentional or is there some mixup?
cla October 10, 2009 at 1:32 am: Yes. it would be very helpful to have expicit times (and time zones) for the deadlines.
I just tried now (hey here it is still October 7 5:32pm) and it looks like the sale is already closed. too bad :(((
pkSML October 10, 2009 at 12:03 am: Glad the offer got extended again! I was able to get in another order. Thanks guys! Now I’m off to codeland. :)

Just a quick note for the Sitepoint staff on special offers/deals: Those of us in the USA would appreciate it if the deadlines were written in both Australian time and EST.

(Last time you had the 5-for-1 offer, I made the deadline, but missed out because of the timezone difference.)
polymon October 9, 2009 at 11:55 am: I just clicked on a link from a sitepoint email.
Sseems ssomeone ussed too many s’s
bs_in_cs October 9, 2009 at 11:41 am: Awesome, changing the url from https to http did the trick. Thanks Mal.
Martha October 9, 2009 at 11:32 am: Yes, the email that goes out says https, but you should view it through http instead.
Mal Curtis October 9, 2009 at 11:15 am: Hey Guys,
The SitePoint sale should be viewed over plain http:// rather than an https:// connection (hence the certificate error :D)
bs_in_cs October 9, 2009 at 9:32 am: Yup, same here. Not secure.
polymon October 9, 2009 at 9:05 am: FYI,
Firefox doesn’t think sale.sitepoint.com is secure. Looks like the SSL certificate is for marketplace.sitepoint.com not sale.sitepoint.com. I had to explicitly ally an exception to get to the sale.siteopint.com page that has the 5 for 1 offer on it.
