We're almost done guys! The testing went well. Though The Programmers had sent me an email this morning saying they want to open the site again for one more round of testing. I plan on opening the very moment they say "We're done" There's going to be no waiting for a specific day. Just a thread, newsletter, tweet, maybe even Facebook to announce the re-launch. No reason to keep refreshing as we'll make sure you know the moment we're set.
Why is the site down? What happened?
Very long story Cerver. To make i significantly short. We re-opened, the bank seen we didn't have a legit age verification software that actually analyzes the customer to ensure that they are of the legal age. As I understand it, Big tobacco is complaining about e-cig marketing and how consumers can obtain it. So the Bank is trying to protect it by any means necessary which of course was a threat to us, if we didn't have the age platform we would be terminated. They referred us over to Veratad for this software which didn't have instructions! They said that a programmer would be know what to do with it. Soooooo :laugh: We're running tests.

Well after hearing from him I can tell you #1, This is just devastating for him and he feels terrible.

Oh, I believe you. I'm just happy he seem to have enough savings, a line of credit, or another job sufficient to keep him going through the down time. And that the system can handle the initial orders when he re-opens.

Yeah…it's amazing how non-technical people lump everything related to computers in with everything else related to computers as all being the same thing.

My serious condolences.

One question, and feel free to ignore it if you don't want to say……but every other vaping site I've been on either has an age wall (with "old enough" vs. "not old enough" links on them) or if they're not selling things just some kind of notice about being old enough or going away. Why does your bank seem to want something more complicated than that?

It's called extortion because they can :)
