@mskelbel I hate to hear you've had so much trouble. As long as you're on the latest firmware then I'm at a loss. The relay is such a great feature and I've met some cool people locally from them and not so locally through Homepass.
@mskelbel Did the McDonald's ever work? If you never got the Nintendo Zone message then that explains it. If you had got the message it's probably one of three things. 1) You just seeded the relay and the first person doesn't get a streetpass 2) You were the last person on the relay, and you can't pass yourself 3) You didn't let the you are connected page fully load (watch the status bar on top screen). This is where I failed the first attempt.
Beyond that I don't know. I just did it again and it worked, which means my 2nd 3DS just pulled my 1st 3DS back off the relay since no one knows to do this
@SBOY Well this seems to be a roll out by AT&T as not everyone is effected at the same time. When TexasAndroid first started the thread last Friday I was able to get them effortlessly still. Then starting as early as the following Tuesday I couldn't anymore without using the method I describe. If you're still getting them with minimal effort hopefully it stays that way.
The problem isn't so much that they stopped working. They still work. but you have to go to a webpage and accept a terms and conditions agreement first. As soon as you do it will work again. Here's my guide on Reddit with confirmed hits at Starbucks and McDonald's even from TexasAndroid who's thread you originally used an example: http://www.reddit.com/r/3DS/comments/1lsyc6/is_your_local_nintendo_zone_down_heres_how_to_get/
This is so disappointing though because unless you're a power user most people won't think to do this.
