Yep - its an armitage shanks regal. You should be getting a call from my colleague Micky in a short time.

cheers mate

OK, the developers tell me that they have fixed the random logging in/out and the prices on special offers being visible when you aren't registered/logged in. It works ok for me, so hope that it works for everyone.

We are continuing to work on the amount of information available at product level - in particular we are trying to highlight those products that are not immediately available from stock. (Sorry SteveB!) Also dimensional info or links to manufacturers websites.

But then, thats why we released a beta test privately in the UKPF - we knew we would have some problems.

Many thanks to all those that assisted - please feel free to carry on.

We will be reacting to suggestions in 4 possible ways:

1) Yep, good idea, we will implement that ASAP
2) Yep, good idea, we will implement that when resources permit
3) Maybe in version 2
4) Thanks for your interest, but we have decided not to pursue that suggestion. But please don't stop making them.

Hi Matt

Are you talking about not being able to buy from a [DLMURL="http://www.tradeonlyplumbing.co.uk/pipe-fittings/copper-pipe-fittings/endfeed-fittings/endfeed-elbows.html"]tiled page like this[/DLMURL]?


I just tried it and it worked ok. Or am I misunderstanding?

 

[Riley]

No I think you've got it in one. Basically I could click add to basket it would hang and hang and then it would just go to a cannot find the page error screen. However if I actually clicked on the item so it was the only thing on the page it would then allow me to add no problem. Maybe it's just me!!

 

[Ray Stafford]

Is it still a problem?

If so, what device and browser are you using?

 

[Riley]

Doing on iPad mate. Have no wifi at the mo but will try again in a bit

Just tried it on my ipad, and it seems ok. A bit jerky, but thats probably because its on 3g with only a couple of bars.

Hopefully whatever the boffins changed, it has fixed that as well! 🙂

Just an idea ray, can we order, let you know and you send the order back to our local branch the old fashioned wat to get ready for us?

Just an idea ray, can we order, let you know and you send the order back to our local branch the old fashioned wat to get ready for us?

Yes we can - in the same way that people have always PMd me, emailed me etc. So what will happen in the short term is that I will print off the order and fax it to the branch concerned.

There is one potential problem which won't go away. Our average branch size is about 3,500 sq ft. The branch that you use at Maidstone is one of our biggest at 6,000 sq ft. When we have finished our Fareham redevelopment, we will have about 55,000 square feet. It isn't possible to carry everything at every branch, so there may be a delay while we ship it internally.

Integrating the IT on stock levels at all the branches is not something we can do quickly, so click and collect will be limited for a while.

Like the site dude 😀

 

[Riley]

Further to my earlier fault all seems ok now Ray cheers

Someone mentioned to me earlier that they couldn't scroll on their iPad, but its working fine on mine.

Does anyone else have problems scrolling the site on iPad?

I can't zoom in and out, which isnt a problem on the iPad but is a pain on my phone. Is that troubling anyone?
