1st time registering for Parade
Is it always this hard registering! This is my first time registering for the PCA Parade and I get this message on the register web page, "An error occurred". Is their a trick to this?

It is super slow. The servers must be overwhelmed.
Very poor planning for PCA to have such a painful process.

I gave up. Not going this year. To say I'm not going because I can't register is crazy. In hindsight, I'm not sure why I thought it would go smooth as the existing website worked terribly. Even up to registration, the links didn't work. I know the website was probably built by volunteers, but comon, it's the Porsche Club of America.

I finally got logged on and registered. It only took 3.5 hours!
The web site is crawling slow. There are 50 pages to go through. Just pitiful, painful slow. I think they hired the same folks for the web page that did the original Obamacare site.

Right at 3 hours for me to get registered. Frustrating part, beyond the absolute dead-slow server and taking an hour to get in (in addition to the 3 hours), was having to answer "no" 45 times so I could answer "yes" 5 times. I know they want to steer you through everything to try to entice more sign-ups but who has 3-4 hours to devote to this non-sense? This is my 5th Parade (3rd with online registration) and it is not getting any easier/better. Time for a re-think on the registration process?!

Snail mail was easier.

I was the registrar for the 1996 Porsche Parade. Back in the stone ages of paper registration my wife and I spent weeks entering the data. That was a much smaller parade than those of today. It will never go back to analog. I was running a dial up BBS a for PCA back then.
The majority of the work of registration is done once you hit enter for the final time with web based registration. PCA really need a much bigger and more powerful server for the first week of parade. I have to assume they could rent that for a month and go back to normal.

We fronted their systems with a web tier in the cloud that would automatically scale on demand that was also behind a cloud-based load balancer. Most of the traffic was serviced solely by the servers in the web tier. For users that wanted to register for more information, the web servers interacted with the backend DB cluster. |

I am very sure my ignorance of just how the web servers works makes it seem easier than it is.
I am also sure there HAS to be a way to do it better than the horrendous pitiful silly slow web site I fought through yesterday. When I clicked a page it would take 5 or 6 minutes to pull up the next page. I was getting better results in the days of dial-up. No joke! They don't need the equivalent of a full time Amazon.com server farm, but they have to do something better.
