Missing form for requesting free ebook

Edit Subject

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

  Hi James,
  
  Sorry you're running into this problem too. Can you let me know what your account's username / display name is?
  
  Thanks,

  Sorry it's still not working for you, Tom. I took another look, and your account is fine now, but this could be a cookies/caching problem. Could you try again in another browser or a Chrome incognito window?

  I've tried in a Chrome incognito window and in Firefox (which I have never used with oreilly.com), with no success.

  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.

  Sorry for the runaround. We'll keep looking into this, but I can just make the request for you. Can you let me know which ebook you would like? You can choose any ebook published by O'Reilly or Microsoft Press from http://shop.oreilly.com/category/ebooks.do.
