Posting this again since I think it got lost in the excitement.  Anyone know if it's possible to get exact times from Safari on iPhone?
I tried to find any info I could, but I'm not sure how much cache a mobile browser keeps.  If the history doesn't give you the info, I'm not sure what else to check.

Was it just me or did your browser not turn into a running man right away? Once 9AM hit it took it a little bit for my browsers to switch, and when they switched to the running man it was at different times.

My browser didn't immediately flip to running man at 9:00. It took at least another minute.

The quickest any of my sessions turned to running man was either right at 9:01 or maybe a touch after that. Which is odd considering some people have said they got in at 9:00:45 or so.


(Also, side note, just realized in my second session, I forgot to insert CCI Member ID. Oh well.)

My browsers did the same thing, although my first session to get in (just before 9:01) loaded with almost completely green running man bar.

I need a nap.

So It's not just me.

I'm exhausted, and it's only 2:45 pm for me.

So I'm accustom to Queue-It, and can sort of explain what's going on. So some of you mentioned it didn't go to the running man at exactly 9:00. For the record, it did not happen for me as well. So how the system works, once you get into the waiting room, Queue-It is set to automatically refresh at certain intervals. I've never studied it close enough, but I'll guess around a minute.

So not everybody will be on the same interval schedule. Chances are, at 9:00 even, your interval hasn't finished yet, so the running man won't start until the full 1 minute (or whatever its set to) interval finishes.

So thus everyone will have the running man showing at a different time. However, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume Queue-It's system will account for the various different intervals, and will not start everything until it knows everybody in the waiting room has been randomized.

I know this is confusing, and I'm sorry. I can try and clarify more later. I hope those that do understand what I said, will understand how it works.

So not everybody will be on the same interval schedule. So say you got in at 8:45:15 seconds, someone else got into the waiting room at 8:45:20 seconds. There will be a 5 second difference between the both of you and when it refreshes. So at 9:00 even, your interval hasn't finished yet, so the running man won't start until the full 1 minute (or whatever its set to) interval finishes.

Thanks for the explanation. I figured it had something to do with the refresh interval.

any idea what the parameters were? iow, any common approaches- browsers-tabs-devices etc all?

I was captcha’d on all 8. They were captcha’d in exactly the order I opened them. However, I opened them throughout the hour, but all were captcha’d around 8:50-8:56.

All were open on the same computer.

Let’s see how many more times I can say captcha’d.

Correct!  We can't think exclusives until we have a place to sleep....one in which we'll probably all pay nearly $300 a night, and only maybe spend 5 hours in it each day......I love Comic-Con, don't you?! ;)
