So you can't alter your own notify que any longer? The announcement said after the 11th it will only use the 2 oldest but didn't say we couldn't make changes after that date. There's no option to change your notifies now and your stuck with what's oldest?

EVGA gave everyone fair warning, and instructions warning about this. If you had multiple notifies then you should've even received an email. I'd say you're stuck with the oldest ques at this point.

Fair warning? For whom? I'm a Marine deployed in the Middle East. It takes up to 2 or 3 days to be able to even get to a network where you might be able to get online or check email. So ya, not exactly fair by any means. Hell even if I get a notify it could be 3 days or so until I can even see it. Just like your whole change to the system, I've been on combat deployment in a place where you will likely get better service using 2 cans and a string then ever imagining a cell or internet connection.

I get what you're saying. I was in the Army, but they sent emails out 5 days in advance. Fair is always a relative term, and usually doesn't apply in all situations. I thank you for your service. As others have mentioned emailing the webmaster, they may help you but generally speaking I'd say you're stuck. Even if they can help you, it may be a good idea to get someone with the ability to monitor your email that has a more reliable internet so you do not miss a notify.

They removed the buttons yesterday and updated the warning message on the notify page at the same time. The last sentence states:

"It is no longer possible to change or delete notifies. EVGA Staff does not have the ability to change notify products."

Opsie, missed that change on the notify page. ^^;

I don't think it's as much about the timing, but I feel like there was still a lot of ambiguity in the wording.  For instance now I have 3 notifies, but only 1 is active, with one of my active notifies being listed as "removed by user," while the third wasn't removed but is listed as false for activity.
 
Am i bitter about it?  No.  Maybe a little disappointed?  Sure.  EVGA makes the rules and it's their company.  I can live with that though.  Oh well.

FYI, ppl reported to have successfully contacted  on the matter and had their notify list adjusted accordingly to the SKUs removed, even after the 11th. It's worth a shot, imo. 

Thats great news.  I've already reached out to them, but haven't heard back.  Taking the time to clean up the situations where it makes sense (within the spirit of the change) is one of the big reasons I really like EVGA.

A bit off topic but thought I'd share this with everyone:
 
https://www.evga.com/articles/01519/survived-queue/
 
Good luck!

As I wrote in an intro last week on the first anniversary of the Queue announcement, I’ve partnered with EVGA on the design of a t-shirt. Starting today, the t-shirt is available for purchase in the EVGA.com store (small, medium, large, XL, 2XL, 3XL). There are also three additional ways of securing a free bit of cloth to commemorate your time on our watch, eating s’mores, trading tall tales of past gaming glory and verbally jousting over who – truly – is the saltiest among us.
 
With the release of this shirt, no longer will your grandchildren doubt your unbelievable – yet nevertheless (mostly) accurate – tale of patience and comradeship, of hardship and sacrifice, of redemption and perseverance – as you will have indisputable evidence that there was once a queue of epic proportions…and that you conquered it. (“Listen here Jensenia Jacobson...I want to tell you about the time that I sat in front of my computer hitting the F5 key over and over again, threw my computer keyboard out the window before retrieving it (Duct Tape fixes everything), and then waited with a whole community of similarly situated souls for over a year before a company sent me an email permitting me to spend my life savings on a computer component...all so I could play games with better graphics...what is it, dear?  What's a keyboard?  It was a tool that allowed people to communicate with computers...no, we didn't have implanted Google Guardians™ back then.... It’s a true story…I have this shirt that proves it….")
 
So, how can you get some free evidence of your gamer cred? Three ways:
 

1. The first 500 folks who purchase a 30 series from the North American queue using my associate code will get a free “I Survived” t-shirt thrown in (I funded 365 units for this giveaway and EVGA graciously bumped the number up to 500 in total; thanks EVGA!). T-Shirt size can be selected during checkout.
2. Additionally, the first fifty 30 series orders utilizing the associate code of certain “top” associate members (EVGA reached out to those associates last night via email; they should know who they are) will get the option to include the “I Survived” t-shirt in their order for free. T-Shirt size can be selected during checkout.
3. For those in our community that have already secured a 30 series card from the queue, there will be a drawing for a chance to win one of 500 “I survived” t-shirts (official rules and how to enter can be found here). To enter the random drawing, you must:

              i.    have purchased a 30 series card from the queue and either (a) used an associate code during checkout or (b) be an associate member (and therefore prohibited from using an associate code at checkout);
              ii.    register the purchased card at EVGA.com; and
              iii.    be an Elite member (once you register the 30 series card from the queue, you become eligible to be an Elite member; see this page for information on becoming an Elite member).
 
I intended the t-shirt giveaway as a thank you to the community for keeping enewt jr. and me company on our watch. And while the free shirts won’t reach everybody who has contributed a lot or a little to this community over the last year plus – for example, BovineGamer who heroically tracked the EU queues for many months is not based in North America and therefore not eligible for the giveaway – I hope folks who receive a free shirt or buy one from the EVGA.com store will wear it proudly and recall fondly from time to time our shared experience in the Queues. It humbles me to acknowledge the uncomfortable truth that but for all of you, I would have caved to the scalpers many, many unsuccessful Titanic Tuesdays ago. Thank you for being part of this camel-riffic ordeal.
 
As many of us (and, EVGA inventory and shipping gods willing, eventually all of us) shuffle off the wall to await our friendly, neighborhood UPS drivers at our curbs, please remember that somewhere in California there is a small amphibian and his offspring that are especially appreciative that we were all able to come together around this virtual campfire (Narrator: Occasionally it was more like a salty dumpster fire) and bond through a sharing of our respective frustrations, our personal stories – of gaming or otherwise, and our nomoss’s photoshop skills.
 
May your remaining wait be shorter than you anticipate; it is already longer than you deserve.

tizz78A bit off topic but thought I'd share this with everyone:
 https://www.evga.com/articles/01519/survived-queue/

Another reason to use associate code at checkout: "Be an active EVGA Associate member OR an EVGA Associates code must have been used at checkout".
So, don't forget to do that if you want win one of t-shirts!

I feel for you, EU queuer. I wish EVGA and other manufacturers would send more inventory your way.
 
That being said, drewski989 was being frank about the previous poster's chances. That poster was unhappy about not being picked for January / February 2021 queue times...for cards that dropped in fall of 2020. Even the US queue for those SKUs hasn't made it out of 2020 yet.

 
While I fundamentally agree with the content of drewski989's post, I found it a bit mean. Maybe 'cause I share the pain with fellow Eu queuers, maybe because I'm Italian and English is not my first language (again, something I share with many Eu queuers and often missed over there across the Atlantic ) and so something could have gone "Lost in Translation".
I felt the message could have been worded "friendlier" maybe? And, again, that's been my impression, as a non native English speaker so, totally possible it's just me reading something that's not really there.

I can see that. When I visited Italy, it took me some time to get used to communication there. And that's not even counting the language, which I still haven't mastered. (Better than my Portuguese though!) Also: your English is far better than my Italian. However, I myself didn't find drewski989's post to mean, just blunt. GFX queues are bad for everyone worldwide, even worse for EU it appears. In fact, it would've been worse if he wasn't straightforward as it would give false hope.
 
Point being is that this chip shortage sucks. Not being able to get any graphics card at MSRP sucks. Scalpers suck. Having to sort through a virtual queue or a physical line-up-outside-of-your-local-electronics-store queue just to get a card sucks. But you know what? We'll get through it. One day when we're all running our 6000 UTX+ series cards, we'll look back on these days and laugh.
 
I wish all of you good luck and good will.

I am not trying to be mean, simply would like people to understand what they are complaining about, before going on rants.  I don't mind a good rant, I rant 5 times a day before noon.  But know what you are complaining about, otherwise it is just misinformed nonsense, if I wanted that, I'd watch any number of news channels (on both sides of the US political fence).  
 
There are plenty of valid things to rant about without complaining about things that are non-issues.  Take your time to understand why you are upset, then articulate it.  No one is getting skipped, the line is just super long.  It's not rigged, it not a scam, it's simply a bunch of long lines that move at staggeringly different rates.  After October 2020, the word was out to queue for all skus, because some skus don't get movement.  There have been PLENTY of new sku launches since then.  All the new queuers coming in hot with the rants, think about the people who did notifies BEFORE EVGA even announced the queue, they are the true ones with room to rant.
 
As for my slighting the EU... check my post history, I have said at least a couple times, either EVGA should feed the EU queue or not have it at all.  EU is definitely getting the short end of the stick here, but EVGA is a US-based company.  Where is the EU-based company or any AIB for that matter, who is giving EU any more love than EVGA?  Perhaps that should be the focus, getting upset with the companies who are completely ignoring EU, versus the one that is at least attempting to help.  The one company that is actually not ignoring the EU, and it gets a bunch of complaints because it ain't helping enough...  I could make some additional parallels here, but I better stop.

Well darn, I know the rep on twitter use to give a heads up on incoming stock.

 
This is maybe the first time I've heard @EVGA_JacobF referred to as "the rep on twitter." Somehow that feels to me like a rather diminutive characterization. Have we be drawn all these many Titanic Tuesdays by an anonymous "rep" from twitter?  

In other news, today is Thor's Day. May it be one for the ages.  
 
Best of luck!

Wow, hard to believe some of those 3080 queues are as far back as september 2020 still. I am in January of this year so it sounds like I got a while still. 

Appreciate that info though, thanks

So... I got my notification email, but clicking the link just takes me to a page saying a text is being sent to my phone number. The phone number is definitely correct, but I'm not getting any texts.
 
Do I need to call customer support? Obviously waiting for them to respond to email isn't very useful when I only have 20 hours to order.

The phone number that is listed in your account, is it typed in without any spaces and/or dashes? There shouldn't be any spaces and/or dashed between the numbers.

Yeeep, I tried it with no dashes a few mins ago and got the order in. Seems like the system should be smart enough to figure that out, but hey, at this point I'm not complaining.
 
Thanks for the reply.

The new system is terrific, thank you EVGA! I cannot believe how much faster things are moving now.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

I see that the 3897 KR webpage is gone for the old ftw3 ultra non lhr. I am still in the queue for the 3895 KR which is the ftw3 gaming non lhr. I'm hoping since the webpage for that one is still up that I still have a chance? The queue dates haven't changed though in a very long time.
