Any issues with the eStore web pages, report the bugs here as it was a customized ground up build with about 15,000+ lines of code. As of 6/29/08, I feel all major bugs have been eliminated leaving only cosmetic tweaks and a couple updates to improve experience. Enjoy shopping:

Issues Fixed:

• [FIXED b4.7] Fixed issue which caused wrong shipping addresses to appear when already registered and used form you were new registration.
• [FIXED b4.6] Fixed issue after b4.5 update which caused both Edit Shipping Address and Edit Shipping Method links to be broken and not function properly dropping you off in the wrong part of the order process and not taking you back to correct spot in order process.
• [FIXED b4.6] Fixed issue after b4.5 update which caused update Registration Information to not function properly causing Billing Information to be deleted after updating User Id and Password only.
• [FIXED b4.5] Billing Form JavaScript verification is broken.
• [FIXED b4.5] Fixed issue where user could continue with order without entering Billing Information.
• [FIXED b4.4] Updated handling of negative quantity entered by user to convert to absolute number.
• [FIXED b4.3] Fixed issue with PayPal payment processing when they changed how the country code was handled (now required and in their format). This was causing an error message when the shopping cart information was transferred to their secure servers for payment processing.
• [FIXED b4.2] Fixed issue where pre registration may have had some ghost data already populating some form fields.
• [FIXED b4.1] The Layout changes to fix the layout issues for Product Pages with Internet Explorer did not render properly on version 7.0.1 or earlier while properly rendering on all other browsers. I hate Microsoft for not following common standards. Realize there are now two layouts, one for Explorer and one for all others as Explorer may be updated in next 5 years to catch up to standards of today.
• [FIXED b4.0] "Place Order Here" box formatting is broken using Internet Explorer while modern browsers render properly. I could not test on IE 5 or 6 variants to ensure fix works on them.
• [FIXED b4.0] Internet Explorer chokes on product specific detail page formatting for solid line below box subject title leaving thick line instead of 2px while modern browsers render properly.
• [CHANGED b3.9] Updated FGF site formatting not applied to eStore.
• [FIXED b3.9] Changed how Out of Stock SKUs are displayed or items not yet released allowing custom message. This did not correctly apply to Suggest Items section when viewing cart.
• [CHANGED b3.8] Changed how Out of Stock SKUs are displayed or items not yet released allowing custom message.
• [FIXED b3.8] When viewing receipt, browser asks for admn id and password as Firebird graphic is located in admn area.
• [FIXED b3.8] Shipping Number does not include entire number and cuts off after 19 numbers.
• [FIXED b3.7] Customer Billing data would be overwritten to null data if changed registration information using specific link in Your Account area.
• [FIXED b3.7] Updating Billing or Registration data would incorrectly give error message saying UserId and Password did not match after saving updates.
• [FIXED b3.6] Returning from PayPal now keeps you logged in properly.
• [FIXED b3.4] Registering before placing order now properly captures User data as expected.
• [FIXED b3.4] Donation Only purchase charges shipping.
• [FIXED b3.2] Using browser's back button had unexpected results.
• [FIXED b3.2] In curtain situations, the wrong order information was emailed.
• [FIXED b3.2] In curtain situations, order was not correct as database still open and populated form with historical information.

Additional Features:

• [Added b4.8] Added behind the scenes inventory processing and reporting.
• [Added b3.7] Added Canada as allowed shipping destination including additional coding which goes along with addition.

Known Issues as of last update:

• Billing Form hard email validation is not coded.
• Shipping message not being properly transmitted through email to user.
• Internet Explorer chokes on footer formatting and is not centering while modern browsers render properly.
• Forgot Password form does not work yet.
• Information transmitted to PayPal is billing information which populates their shipping information. Confuses users as we do have correct information. (Update 3/2/07) PayPal is updating their site and adding features this spring so I am waiting to see if they fix it on their end to add proper hooks to transmit data.
• PayPal data not properly being transmitted to our server so live updating of data to reflect payment in their system. This requires manual updating of data on our server to reflect payment. (Update 3/2/07) PayPal is updating their site and adding features this spring so I am waiting to see if they fix it on their end to add proper hooks to transmit data.
• Long URLs for products so not easy to share link. Need some type of solution while not impacting visitor experience and data flow process.
• Florida sales tax not being properly charged for Florida transactions leaving no charge for tax.

Update Dates:

• b4.8 tbd Will focus on behind scene processing
• b4.7 06/29/2008
• b4.6 12/11/2007
• b4.5 12/08/2007
• b4.4 11/12/2007
• b4.3 07/10/2007
• b4.2 05/27/2007

On the Drawing Boards:

• Combine other User Id databases (can't combine Board as uses different DB format) so one User Id access all Services.

Yes, very nice! Only 1 issue I had -- when returning from paypal, it prompted me to login again. I tried using the credentials I had just created, but no go. So, I simply went back to my other browser that already had the FGF site up and logged in successfully there with the same credentials.

Any possibility of getting a 1st Gen hat? I thought there already was one but I didn't see it in the store. I'm looking forward to a full season of convertible cruising and I think I need a new hat.

Fixed issue which impacted the PayPal payment processing and the three different attempts from people to place an order. The country code was no longer optional and was resulting in error message when information transferred to PayPal and they would not allow transaction to continue.

Did not receive the notice from PayPal that this processing changed in last month.

Overnight and this morning I updated some of the key registration scripts and error checking. I think I squashed all the bugs so let me know if I did not. Fixed several issues with the registration process and how it handles User entry data to better handle "garbage in" data.
