If you ordered from evildragon, but don't speak german. Post in this thread.
Am I right in that you are (partially) referring to
the order number thread on the German forums?
In case anyone here is trying to extract Pandora shipping information from that thread, here are the translations of the data fields used in the posts:
- "Bestellnummer:" - "order-number:"
- "Versanddatum: TT.MM.JJJJ" - "shipping-date: DD.MM.YYYY" (notice it's "DD.MM.YYYY", not "MM.DD.YYYY")
- "Zustelldatum: TT.MM.JJJJ" - "delivery-date: DD.MM.YYYY" (notice it's "DD.MM.YYYY", not "MM.DD.YYYY")
- "Anzahl-Pandoras:" - "number-of-Pandoras:"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even though
some people believe that sticking to a coherent way of reporting information isn't possible on a web forum used by many people, personally I believe it might be a good idea to stick to a coherent way anyway.
The main idea behind this is that this way, the data can be automatically parsed. While this might not be necessary yet because the data pool is still pretty small right now, soon it will be a very helpful thing to have automatically created diagrams. They probably will help a lot in getting a better overview.
For anyone who also believes that this kind of uniformity might be a GOOD THING™ for the order data, please put the data into [ code ]-tags using the following data field names. Here is a template:
Code:
[code (add a "]" here)
order-number: 0000
<optional>shipping-date: DD.MM.YYYY</optional> (When using "shipping-date", "delivery-date" may be omitted)
delivery-date: DD.MM.YYYY
number-of-Pandoras: 0
[/code (add a "]" here)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The result may look similar to one of the following:
Code:
order-number: 1234
delivery-date: 01.01.1970
number-of-Pandoras: 1
Code:
order-number: 1010
shipping-date: 01.01.1010
number-of-Pandoras: 1
Code:
order-number: 1010
shipping-date: 01.01.1010
delivery-date: 01.11.1010
number-of-Pandoras: 1

If you would like me to, I could translate the explanatory text within that order number thread. I'm currently creating a new revision of that text, so I don't currently advise anyone to publish a translation on her own. Basically, the text boils down to these things:
- [Explanation of the order number disaster]
- Make sure to not post contradictory or duplicate data (make one post which contains your order data; edit that post if the data changes / if you wish to add information).

edit-11jan2011-2324GMT+1: Yannick, you may add any of this information to your post should you wish to do so.

I send my (broken) unit back in mid-december and send ED an e-mail 2 weeks and a bit ago to ask if it has arrived, but I didn't get an answer [...]
Don't worry, to my knowledge so far Ed has ALWAYS answered to e-mails. Sometimes it may take some weeks until you get a reply though, depending on how busy he is. From what I've heard so far, in busy times an answer typically takes between two and four weeks, but this information might be totally unrepresentative.

Just post the german text - I'd love to translate for you.
Keeps me in shape
