BMS Website - Revamp & Comments

I've spent his points already, thanks Andrew :biggrin:

Do we need to register as a new account with it being a new platform?

You don't have to register, but registration provides the added features of loyalty points, order history etc.

but every little helps.

You sound like an advert for Tesco's JSR! The loyalty points give us flexibility as well, so currently everyone gains 1 point per £1 spent, but we can increase the value of each point whenever we wish. This could mean, for instance, that any loyalty points accumulated could have double, triple value (or more) over a promotional period. Also the value is 1 per £1 spent at the moment, but again a promotional event could see a greater accumulation of points per £1 spent.

I can't see the bottom of them either.

You should be able to scroll down the page - this works on my laptop. Re the right hand side issue - will get this looked into. I think it might be down to having too many products!

Can I change my password to something more memorable?

This is something that we've thought about. Currently no, but your browser should be able to remember the username/password on the pc you're using. I've briefed our web guy that this may be something to add if feedback warrants it.

Damn, and there was me trusting you guys with my password on such a friendly forum

Changing passwords would be much better for me anyway. I have ordered from home today but usually do it all from work. I can always get the password reminder sent though whenever I need I guess.

The site is certainly a step in the right direction though.

Ah, you're right. I can scroll down if I use the mouse wheel. Previously I was moving the cursor to the scrollbar and, as soon as I did, the drop-down menu vanished. So it works with mouse wheel (with mouse hovering over the drop-down menu), not with scrollbar.

I would vote in favour of being able to change passwords. I browse the internet on everything from my phone to my ipod. Trying to remember a gobblegook sequence and trying to type it in right on a tiny screen isn't something that would encourage me to use the site.

Is there any chance Martin of getting the drop down menu for the sublimation items to open on the right and not left?

Not sure if this affects anyone else but the menu is beyond my screen when opened (and I have a wide screen).

Also, do regular customers from the forum get any gratis points carried over (you gotta ask)

Not sure what you mean on this one. The drop down menu auto expands and on my wide screen laptop goes to the right. If I make the screen narrower then it fills the available space and the menu is longer down the page.

Not getting the left and rights the wrong way round are you !!!

When I hover over "Sublimation", the menu goes off to the left as well. I can see two columns (one begins with "rulers", the other with "Printable Items for Mug Press") but I can't see the others.

I've tried this on Seamonkey (my browser of choice which is similar to Firefox), IE7, and QtWeb. All show the same problem.

All the other menus (i.e., all except the "Sublimation" one) seem to work okay.

[bms]

Okay. Just tried this in IE7 and FireFox. No problems in either in full screen mode or when browser not maximised. I see the menu going left in FireFox when the browser window is smaller than the full screen though so am able to replicate this. I'll forward the comment.

[JSR]

If it helps, this is what I get -



This is when shown with the browser maximised on a 1280x1024 monitor.

The same thing occurs regardless of whether the browser window is smaller, or if it's full-screen (F11), or if the side-dock is open. In short, it happens all the time.
