Macrumors Nike+iPod Running Club

I've had no luck getting there either, but apparently my data is being uploaded.

I guess it's like the gym - always busy in January and early February, then vacant once again by March.

I went to my gym last night and it was packed. I had never seen any of those people there before.
Locked into a contract they will stop using by spring.
Oh well

 

[jelloshotsrule]

i'd go for a run if i wasn't stuck at work!

i wonder if nike will upgrade the servers, or if they'll just bank on people giving up after a few weeks. hah

emw- how do you know it's still uploading? are your widgets updating properly?

 

[emw]

emw- how do you know it's still uploading?

Mr. Anderson's screen shot above showed my latest data, which is how I know. I haven't even looked at my widget.

* looks at widget *

Yes, my widget is updated - although I don't know how "updated" the data is, since I uploaded it last night about 10:30pm CST.

 

[Mr. Anderson]

But that's a bit unacceptable for a big company like nike not to be able to handle the traffic. And its only going to get worse as more and more people get the things. My wife has one and hasn't even registered yet - how many more at there like her and what are they going to think when its all screwed up.

Nike - take some of your own advice - Just Do It!

Oh, I completely agree - wasn't trying to justify it. I can only imagine that traffic will continue to grow, especially if they do indeed come out with a watch to tie into the sensor (that doesn't require the Nano).

And the thing is, they know how many of these things they've manufactured (and sold) and so should have had enough advanced "warning" of the impending traffic to plan for it.

justr got back from my run but unable to upload any data to nike still - dam thing 3.58 miles but for the first time my chest feels fine but my legs have had it lol

 

[sreedy]

has anybody been able to get on the nikeplus website?

I've got in this morning but it's very very slow! Plus the Challenges page is reporting "We are restoring this section" so looks like they had some issues! Actually now I have gone back and now it just reports like I'm in no challenges when I am actually in 5!

 

[Mr. Anderson]

I'm wondering if the challenges section was the one causing the issues. Hopefully they fix the problem soon.

[emw]

I see the same thing. I'm guessing we might have to start from scratch on the challenges. A lot of people are going to be pissed about that.

 

[Mr. Anderson]

I've gotten two things - one is the generic challenge page - with no link to create a new one and this:

So I think we'll be ok.

D

 

[liketom]

i hope so it's been down for a long time now! and i want to see how i'm doing compared with everyone else

 

[emw]

I dunno - I see it up and it shows no challenges. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm guessing the dB got hosed and we lost our challenge data.

 

[sak7777]

In that case...I'm still #1. ) j/k

That would blow, if all the challenge info is lost.

 

[virus1]

that would give me a chance to pick up a nike+ kit myself, and get my lazy ass of this chair every night. oh, i also need a nano.. .. not buying a think till monday though.. apple might steal its own sales.

 

[Mr. Anderson]

The Nike+ Discussion boards had a message in the announcement section

Due to increased traffic (we’re happy to see you are taking your New Year’s resolutions seriously!), we needed to temporarily shut down certain areas of the nikeplus site in order to make some changes and stabilize the platform for you. The site messages what areas are impacted. We apologize for the inconvenience but can assure you that your workout data is safe. So go for a run and revisit us shortly!

So it should be safe to assume that things will be back to normal as soon as they fix this problem.
