I recently attended PyCON-AU and one of the sponsor benefits was an offer of a free O'Reilly ebook.
The link for this was given as http://oreilly.com/go/ebookrequest which forwards to http://www.oreillynet.com/oreilly/ug/... in the end.
I created an account and logged in as directed by that page but it seems to have no effect. There is no request form and I am told that it will be shown once I am logged in. Repeated clicking on the login link simply brings me back to the ebook request page because the rest of the site recognizes that I am already logged in, but this particular page on the oriellynet.com domain doesn't seem to recognize that I am logged in. I have tried it with Safari, Chrome, Firefox and even IE, and also Private Browsing and Incognito modes, clearing cache and cookies, all to no avail.
Can someone pls help?
Thanks.

Hi Gabriel,
Thanks for writing us, and I'm really sorry for the runaround. I took a look and found that your account was missing one little piece on the backend, so that's why the page wasn't recognizing that you were logged in. I've fixed this, so you should now be able to log in again and actually see the form.
Sorry for the frustration, and thanks for letting us know so we could fix this strange little bug.
Kind Regards,
Rachel James

I seem to be having the same problem as Gabriel, any chance of fixing the bug for me as well?
Thanks
Sorry you're running into this problem too. Can you let me know what your account's username / display name is?
Thanks,
Rachel
My O'Reilly account display name is: tomjakubowski
Thanks!
Can you give it another try? It should be all set now.
Thanks!
Rachel

I noticed that, unlike on other pages on oreilly.com, the ebook request page doesn't show me an option to "Sign Out" in the header.
