Update to CS sent by email.

Here is my finding.
If the case in not selected (I have about 10 of those) the POST happens and returns in around 200ms (1/5 of a second). That is consistent and I am attaching a jpg to show what I mean.

In the case of Connectedspace number I click submit and you can see the POST takes much longer to return (around 2 seconds typically). It is doing something different in that 2 seconds because not selected comes back fast.

What could be the difference? Well pure speculation, but if I were writing an app that had to check the numbers I would give the system a quick way to tell 9.9 million people "not selected". I would have a quick lookup on the case. If someone is selected, I would need to go and get the pdf image to display a letter (the 1NL). Now, if I couldn't get that pdf for some reason (and these things are often as stupid as permissions), I would put up the session timeout after a while (1.5 to 2 seconds is LOADS of time).

I can't be certain - this is just guesswork.

This is like an episode of Matlock.

Aww crap. I just tested a second - it does the same but much faster - almost as fast as the not selected.

Not certain......

Great detective work! Hopefully KCC fixes whatever this is in the morning and we can all know what's going on.

Thank you - have emailed you - that is the second - and as I just posted it is faster than CS.

However, these cases (yours and CS) are predictably timing out on various machines and if I switch back to a case that is not selected I get that message just fine....
 
I can't believe it!!!!!

Let's justo wait for official news.
Thanks everyone for sharing their experience.

Hey guys,

I'm new here and I have a question. My brother's family applied with a total of 3 people. I have been checking their statuses and two of the people's status loaded straight up saying NOT SELECTED. The third one keeps getting weird messages such as "technical difficulties" or most of the time it says "session timed out." I have been going crazy checking, trying out different order of confirmation numbers, and it's always the same thing. Do you think there is hope for the third person? Mainly due to the same "session timed out" message and no straight answer?

Thanks a bunch!

Same with one of my friend's application. One of the application keeps saying "Session timed out". Looks suspicious. This happens only on one specific applications. Others simply return HAVE NOT BEEN SELECTED

I am hopeful until my hopes get completely shattered!
 
Hi, ladies and gentlemen! I had participated this year, but the results are to sad. I had filled two applications and checked it yesterday and today some minutes ago- "have not been selected". IT's so sad, dv 2014 was a really tight joke who had a big case and haven't a chance to participate in lottery, a big casses didn't rise up.

P.S. HI sloner, i see you are there again . I had drop out from DV 2015. Sloner do you predict the numbers in DV 2015 ?
Guys, i had looked through some pages and i hadn't see any lucky.
I had dissapointed in lottery. :(
