Is it just me, or am I the only one who keeps checking the forum every day to check if I have missed out the email for August update?
I have a sinking feeling that they are not updating because of a possible delay again

Yes, I have been checking periodically to see if an August update has come out but if you look back at past monthly updates, youāll notice most of them came out between the 7th and 10th of the month.

Great. So Iāll be refreshing even more for the next three days 
I expect it will be after the first Pro is actually shipped.

An update is the only reason Iām popping in lately. But like John said - they donāt usually show up until weāre a chunk into the month.
7 days is a āchunkā of the month.

Now that product is āShippingā we should be getting updates more frequently than a month. I guess, no news is bad news here. The more we are kept in the dark, the worse the news seems to be.

sometimes, sometimes not. i feel like thereās no point worrying about something like this until it happens.

Although Iāve lived this Dilbert in real life, IMHO it doesnāt apply here. Itās been 28 days since the last update; I think itās reasonable to expect another update from GlowForge.
The worst thing a developer/manufacturer/creator can do as the finish line approaches is reduce the amount of communication. It generates churn, negative responses, and expectations of even more delays (which are usually born out - otherwise why not just go ahead and provide the update?). Being clear and providing an update that articulates whatās been accomplished (# of production units actually out the door, challenges/issues still being addressed, etc.) even when you donāt have enough clarity to calculate the schedule impact, would make people more comfortable.
People who have been oh so patient thus far will join the queue of individuals who have given up on GlowForge and asked for their money back. Of course, that will also happen when they announce that delivery is shifting into 2018, in even larger numbers.

That early July update was in June, and has been said, the later July update was 28 days ago.
Well we know they are not on the fast-zombie side of the undead divide.

Iāve been looking for it tooā¦ in hopes of reading about some sort of better schedule to let me know when I should hopefully get the email.
But instead I end up feeling disappointed and depressed wondering why I keep coming back here. I have nothing to contribute, part from liking what others (who were lucky enough to get a pre-release or even their production until) are making and drooling over ideas that I had just to see those others beat me to them.
And now they want us to invite friends and family to this forumā¦ why?.. so they can say āwow thatās cool, when do you get your machine?,ā or āshouldnāt you havenāt gotten yours already?āā¦ yeah, no thanks!
I feel lame and significantā¦ just like with that beta unit form asking if I was anyone notableā¦ nopeā¦ Iām nothingā¦ just a backer who gave you his money and has been waiting for just about 2 years and have barely received any kind of communication, unless it is about another delay.
Though, I did get a free book out of the deal, thanks Dan!

Iām sorry our communication was unclear. Once you receive your Glowforge, you can invite others to use it, and they will have forum access so they can share their prints.
I also apologize to you and everyone who hasnāt received yours yet. Weāve got a lot of units to ship and weāre working to get to yours just as soon as we can.
