Internet· Rants & Whines Color Me Not Impressed

Color Me Not Impressed. I wandered across a friend's LJ which is fully friends-locked to keep out her family and I figured what the heck, I'll break down and get an LJ, if only to read hers. And since I like to customize things, I figure I'll pop for five bucks for two months of a paid account, it's a small amount, I get some perks, if I don't end up using it, I can let it lapse to a free account after two months and still be able to access her LJ.

I give them my money. I get a confirmation from Paypal and an LJ page that says Thank You! Your account creation code will be sent within a minute.

I check my mail. No code. I wait. I check my mail. No code. I wait some more. I check my mail. No code.

After 30 minutes, I click on an LJ email address from the Paypal receipt and from the thank you page and send off an email with the Paypal verification stuff and that I didn't get an account creation code. I get back an autoreply with a link to my ticket in the support area at LJ.

That was four hours ago. No code, no reply to my ticket. Color Me Not Impressed. Yeah, it's only five bucks and yeah sometimes internet stuff isn't immediate but don't tell me it is if it's not and I know it's only been four hours, but their site also makes a big deal about how their paid customers get such faster access and all that. I checked their status page and their news page, no reports of any problems on their end, my mail is all coming thru fine.

So :-ppppppppp Not Impressed.
