Didn't seem too impressive to me, but I spent all of five minutes today in between appointments.

Well, I guess I should have used "Mark in Baltimore" instead of this:

Doesn't even sound like something I want to spend my time on either. How could it be better than this??

If I want endless promo on H2O machines, I have a Christophorus subscription.

Default Will it be reliable?

I wonder if the new Porsche website will experience sudden, catastrophic failures.

The interface is simple, & easy. It is NOT a Rennlist replacement, it's just a Porsche fix supplement.

Yeah, I tried on my MacBook Air and no go. I'll keep at it though .. if there's one thing you can say about me, I'm persistent.

Do you mean you signed up or just downloaded the Drive+ app? Signed up using Safari?

Ok, that's totally weird ... I just tried this on iPhone using the Drive+ app and it said I already existed! So, I just logged on :-) Is this what the 991 is going to be like?

Ok, check it. I used their 'report' system and sent them a description of the errors and this programmer got back to me in less than a minute! Says the problem will be fixed ASAP! Read emails from bottom up ...


i see the problem - will be fixed in 5 minutes. i'll let you know. thanks for your patience!

Hi Jonathan,
No error message, just says 'sorry, we can't create your account right now, please try again later' .. There are 10-15 of us on Rennlist trying to create accounts and no-go .. thread is here:
https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ferrerid=66492
So, just to complicate matters, I just downloaded the app on my iPhone and tried to create a new account .... and it said I already existed and let me just log on .. who knows ...

Subject: error message on signup?

is there an error displayed when you try to signup?

what credentials are you using (username, email) to signup.

we'll get it resolved shortly - thanks for reporting it.

I signed up on my iPhone with the Drive+ app. It was really easy, & not drama. Sorry everyone else is having issues. Maybe they are trying to keep the 993 content down? It is mostly older cars.
