Great. I've missed the $10 off period for ordering Volume 6 because I never received my email alert that I've signed up for at least 5 times now (each month a script has been released). I've been buying three copies of each volume, too.

Does anyone know why we have to return to the site every month to order these volumes? Why can't there simply be a "purchase all" option, which will guarantee those interested ALL of the volumes as they are released, at the discount?

It was OK in the beginning when JMS would post here to tell us the new volumes were ready to be ordered, but now it is a real guessing game as to when the volumes come out. I don't have time to check that site every day. And the email alerts do not work.

The worst part? I know there are people who post on this board when new volumes are released, but because of the lag between posting and when the posts actually show up, I have missed the chance to buy the scripts at a discount. So now, to get my usual 3, I'm going to have to cough up an extra $30. I really feel ripped off.

Can anyone help me out with this situation? Does anyone else have these problems with the cafepress.com email alerts? Or know how to overcome them?

Thanks,

This may not work for you, but in my browser (Netscape) I have a home page which is really a page with lots of links for various things. One of these, near the top, is Babylon 5 scripts. I click on it every day or two when I am going to do other stuff on line. It takes about 5 or 6 seconds to get to the CafeExpress page, look at the volume available, and go back to the "home" page. On the rare occurrences when a new volume is available, it takes longer.
Besides, this time there was a posting 5 days before volume 6 became available. That should be plenty of time.
