    Damn moaners. You seem to want to register early to save money, but complain that the site is slow. Do you want to pay an extra €20/30 so CAO can buy a better server?

    The site is very quiet in the early hours of the morning. Every idiot seems to go on in the evening. Take this advice on board and keep in mind you have until 5pm tomorrow to do it before the price goes up.

    I agree.
    I mean no offence but why did most people leave it so late?
    Did anyone anticipate massive server saturation?

    I think it even says in the handbook not to leave it so late.
    Its surprising the CAO doesent have the network Throughput to deal with it though.(I am aware that they are a small orginisation)
    LOL I can imagine a few crusty old machines running winNT are handling the requests:D

    In fairness there's only one week per year where they can expect tens of thousands of connections at once. It wouldn't be woth their while getting better severs just to cope with that.

    That website is a ****ing nightmare at this time of year, I spent the last three days trying to get the ****ing thing in, I only just got it done there now.

    Those "well you shouldn't have left it so late" comments help no-one.
    I laugh at people like you.

    Finally some sense on this topic. To the people who still cannot get on, tough luck. You have had months to do this. Don't blame the cao

    and that post contributed absolutely nothing to this topic. Well done.

    I think that the CAO handled the load quite well and I hope that everyone did manage to get their applications in on time.

    You apply early to avoid the extra cost. If you leave it too late it's not like you can't put in an application.

    these people haven't applied late.... there is still a few days left before the deadline, how have they incurred any extra costs by applying a few days before the deadline!?

    A few days? We're talking 2 days max. And anyone with half a brain would get up early and do it in the morning if they had trouble at peak time.

    Did you not have sufficient time at Christmas to send in an application?
    It takes about 5 minutes to send an application in.
    You really could have sent it in a bit sooner.
    I laugh at people who try to send an application on the CAO,s most hectic day.
    Read the handbook in relation to applying the day before the closing date, lets just say it isnt......recommended:)
