How did you get in? I've been trying since they opened the site and never get in at all.

I'm having trouble too. Everytime I try to sign in they say they don't recognize me. But yet I can sign in to the TEN site perfectly. But when I try to do anything on the Big Brother page they ask me to sign in and they don't recognize me. *frustrating*

Has anyone checked their credit card statement to see if they have been charged? I have one charge around that time to "Thornton" for 31.10 that I can;t attribute to anything else that I think is for BB premium. I got a confirm email for registering for TEN but never got any emails after that when I signed up for premium. I've tried (today) the forgot password deal and it says that my pw has been sent but I never get any emails. last time I tried I was unable to log in to TEN either. Still nothing on USENET either. I hope somebody is going to be posting the TV eps this season.

I know my CC got charged, because my bank contacted me about "a charge in Australia" ..haha also, the email receipt I have from them had a PDF file attached, acknowledging receipt of payment, with a receipt #.

Hmmm I never got any receipt. I wonder if my payment was credited to somebody else's account. I had looked at the wrong statement, I did indeed get charged by big brother. I've been reading the diaries and it just makes me want to watch the feeds even more, Well they changed the login error message. Now it says "We are experiencing technical difficulties. please login later" A small relief I guess, it no longer says my PAID account doesn't exist

I got my receipt that says I do have the premium membership and was charged for it. And yes, now I am getting a technical difficulties, log in later notice. At least that is better than not being recognized. I guess...

Hey guys, checking BBBA people in AUS are having just as many troubles so that's a huge sigh of relief. Since the streaming JUST started this morning/tonight for them, hopefully by tomorrow the kinks will be worked out. I'm not sure who they got to work on their site this year but man, they did an AWFUL job! I don't remember logging in ever being this bad. My CC got charged as well and it showed up as Big Brother 7 Kidman Park I believe. It was $33 and some change. Other people, IN Australia, are saying they paid and were charged for premium as well and can't log in, so it's definitely a site issue.

Also, Flagg, I clearly remember big shows (like Launch, the finale, etc) sometimes taking an entire day to post because they have to encode it, cut all the commercials out, etc. The offical BBAUS capper is logged into IRC and they have the channel moderated to prevent spoilers, so no worries on it not being capped.

BBBA now says the grand prize is still going to be up to $1,000,000...but the rumor is it HAS to be spent towards a new home, and can't be turned into cash...

This is INSANE!!! Even if it's JUST to watch them sleep, I want to at least be able to view the feeds so I can make sure it works correctly!

LOL, I was beginning to think I was all alone. I ended up registering for premium twice. the first time I signed up for the entire seaon they charged me 6.65 (which is not even the correct price) so I figured something was wrong with the site and signed up again. the 6.95 shows as Big Brother 7, then the second charge came in at $26.79 and shows aw network Ten. With all that, I can't get back in. I think I was lucky to see the 20 minutes I got, LOL. It says technical difficulties now. I am annoyed that I have to sign in every time. I have been reading the diaries, sounds interesting but I want to be able to put the faces with all the words!

Has anyone managed to get the HG's pictures and names on a banner type setup anywhere? I want to print one so I can start to figure out who they are.

not a banner, but you can see them here (there is a "running" banner across top of page) http://bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/housemates.html

I'll make a banner for the area. Just remind me if you see something that needs to be updated. I'd like to follow the show as well but although I'm pretty good with technical stuff I'm not terribly comfortable with torrents, etc. If someone could come up with something easier that would be great. Or maybe we can add a little technical help section for this.

Jimmer, you might want to wait until they decide the final two spots.... and an interesting theory on the "White Room"...it looks like they might have taken the idea from another reality show... http://www.behindbigbrother.com/posts/rumours/1048

Yah, I'm getting a little nervous. This has been happening since the feeds came on this morning & it's still not fixed. Can't really check in on the BBBA forums because not many people are even UP in AUS at this time, so I doubt many are even still trying. Wilson, I'm pretty sure the final 2 spots were already decided. Apparently Thomas and Rebecca snagged them, but I could be wrong. They said the final 2 HMs would be entering on Sunday evening, which was last night for them.

It's pretty sad that they are having such major problems as well as the SERIOUS security breaches, when nothing has changed on the website in like 2 years. Still the same design and layout. and yet they can;t even get logins to work. I wonder why they waitef until launch to go liove with the website, when every other year they have had it up and running weeks before launch, which gave them time to work out any issues.

For those looking for it that don't use newsgroups, the Launch Show is now popping up on servers in IRC.

Flagg, I'm not really sure on why they waited. Part of me thought maybe they wanted to wait 'till opening night so they could add the two contestants voted in, but they could have done that at any time. I also read somewhere that they're using Apache this year, for the first time, so that might explain some of the major glitches, they have never used it before..........which leads to the old question, "why fix what ain't broke?"........or well, close enough.

Okay nevermind on what I said earlier Wilson, that was my mistake and I read an article wrong! They haven't picked from the 6 to enter yet.....I'm so flustered about just seeing the dang feeds I can't even read!

Man this is frustrating you can't even access some of the site without signing in and of course, the technical difficulties won't let you sign in! At least they are sleeping!! Hey Where's Clio?

Wow IRC got it before Usenet? I always thought that the iRC people got it FROM usenet.
