Sticker Bugs Abound

Like many of you I spent yesterday afternoon and evening checking-in to the pair of MSNBC shows as well as Conan and Lopez Tonight. Unfortunately, the sticker bug decided to rear its ugly head yet again and threw most of us into a tailspin. Lopez Tonight and Conan finally came through for me with all the proper stickers, as did Hardball with Chris Matthews, but I'm still having trouble with The Daily Rundown. Fifteen check-ins bore no fruit. I deleted my check-ins in hopes that re-doing them would cause something to pop. The second time around for the fifth check-in got me nothing, as did the 15th.  I've dropped a line to GetGlue support about it because I know I'm not the only one having issues. Hopefully they're already working on getting this resolved. Any readers still having troubles with the stickers from yesterday? Air your beefs in the comments!

  1. I have noticed that I seem to be in a check-in loop on topics. I had 98 topic check-ins. Checked into a topic, it went to 99. Checked in to another topic and my total topics checked in went back down to 98. Thought it was a weird glitch, but I reproduced it again today. 98, check in. 99, check in. Back to 98 total check-ins. Weird.

  2. I have checked in 15 times for both of the MSNBC stickers. I have not gotten a single sticker. Even the fan level- nothing!

  3. Nothing after the first sticker for lopez. No hardball sf. No happy face.

  6. I can't get either set at all, Hardball or Daily Rundown. I'm at 12 check ins for both. The Lopez tonight sticker problem got fixed and I got all stickers from that set just fine. I'll be patient for this problem to be fixed but I would blow a gasket if glitches like this happened during a limited time sticker, like the Lennonyc or Glee episode stickers. But it does make me wonder if glitches are why I'm not getting some of the basic GetGlue stickers like Cartoon or Superhero despite doing everything required to get them.

  7. Interesting. I have glitch problems with a couple of books (ones that say check in once) where the sticker fails to show up, or does show long after the fact of the check in. The LennonNYC one was interesting, and it raises a question for me. I could not figure out exactly where to check in-- was it at the PBS site on Glue? The show's site (there was one labeled "movie" and one labeled "tv show)). I basically had to check in to all three to finally get the sticker to stick. In addition to glitches, making things a bit clearer could help too.

    Best, and keep on blogging.

  8. There's a lot of glitches plaguing Getglue. For one, the Love and Other Drugs movie trailer sticker for some reason can't be had anymore and its not even 12 midnight PST yet, but you can still get the Burlesque one. I wonder if you can still get the Tangled trailer sticker too. I still have a grip about some stickers I think I rightfully earned, because I was watching the said "shows" (Sarah Palin's Alaska and Mad Men finale) on TV while checking in. When I contacted support, on both counts they only tell me that I did not checkin within the given time to do so, which I know isn't true. I think Getglue just doesn't want to admit that they are prone to glitches or mistakes.

    Thank you so much for your faq and site, you rock!! All the best! :)

  9. @Angel: I found that for some of the book stickers you have to like the book and check in. Some stickers will pop with just a check in, but some I had to like as well.

  10. Just like Kerri, I'm having glitch issues as well. I did watch Glee last night, and I checked in. However, it appears that my first check in, which was at about 8:43 didn't stick, so I didn't get my Tina sticker. When I discovered this, it was 9:04 pm and I checked in again. Still no sticker. Why can't GetGlue just keep the timelocked stickers open for 1/2 an hour after a show ends?

  11. I've been able to get all the Conan/Lopez stickers but the Dynamic Duo one... I emailed them and they told me it "isn't live" yet... whatever that's supposed to mean... if it's not available yet, why would Conan & Lopez blog that it IS?
