Shopping Cart Wars

[Maxwell_Edison]

It can't be just me. I have to fight with my shopping cart every time I order more than one item, which is every order. Is there a trick I don't know about? lol It must have taken 2 hours to put 6 items in my cart today before going to check out. Refresh can freeze the page up like nobody's business.

Do you click the 'shop for more items' button on the upper left? I always do this and no problems. Also if I up the quanity of a certain item I hit the 'update' button.

 

[Maxwell_Edison]

I'll remember to do it that way, thnx.

It's good to find out it's just me. I can mess with my cookie handling and lower my restriction level and go from there. This forum is cool to have.

I think it's recalculate..down near where the total , tax ect. on the bottom right side of the the shopping cart.
Good luck Max..they never have any problem letting me order MORE stuff!

Internet in general has been flaky today - perhaps a result of the storm ?

 

[Desertfremen]

Hmm. I'm not sure what's wrong. I only use the recalculate button when switching quantities. Otherwise I just hit the back button and keep on looking. I do keep my security settings at low for convenience so that may be part of the issue.

I refresh the screen after adding items or multiples. (Just hit F5)

Hey Maxwell, first of all welcome to the family and the ECF...don't think I've extended that greeting to you. +1 plantlvr, as well make sure to carefully review your order, enter any Promo Codes, then hit recalculate to make sure your discount is noted.

BEFORE HITTING "PROCEED TO CHECKOUT" walk away, get something to drink, come back and review your order again.

Although the system states that you can edit your order via your account once it goes through....you can't. I've made mistakes on large orders and ordered prefills by mistakes instead of juice then tried to change it after it went through....doesn't work.

Hi Snow Dragon. Whenever I add a new item or use 'x' to delete an item I need to hit refresh. The last time I did the page froze up. I would sign out and sign back in and it was still frozen. I had to delete cookies and try again. I've got it narrowed down to something to do with my PC though, so I'll figure it out. Well, maybe. LOL I hope anyway

Windows 7 - 64 bit (nothing works right with 64 bit)
I.E. 8 (nothing works right with ie 8)
Hahaha :/

My husband uses both of these, and brother, you just said a mouthful!

LOL! Perhaps you still need to tweak a few things then. I'm not a Windows lover by far but honestly I've been using Windows7-64bit since beta and I'm very impressed by its stability. Best I've seen out-of-the-box since 3.11 for Workgroups! If you've got the RAM force Windows to use it; it will behave much nicer. So will getting a solid state hard drive. The less legacy hardware the better.

As for IE I still find this to be the most compatible browser. I've tried using Firefox and others and get ...... on how locked down they are!

We are making new shopping cart as well

Enjoy

With my personal experience of being sort of a "computer/electronics geek", IE is the worst by far. I have used IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and a few others and have stuck with Firefox. Chrome works really well for doing small things because it doesn't take up a lot of space with add-ons and such. I switched to mac early this year and absolutely LOVE it! Have had no problems, extremely easy to use, and very fast with everything. Over the years, I had way too many problems with PC and Windows that after spending thousands of dollars in repairs and new PC's and laptops, I went the other direction and haven't looked back. I truly believe in the saying "you get what you pay for".
You may want to try chrome with doing orders since it isn't a browser that will lag because it doesn't use a lot of space.

I have 6GB memory and I do like W7. But you have to admit, most software is not 64 bit compatible. It's getting there, but even Adobe Flash is for 32 bit. It's something I didn't realize till I bought it. You're right about needing to tweak a few things though. Using chrome for check out is doable (until they implement the new shopping cart at least).

You may have 6GB of memory but how large is your VM allotment? Windows has and still tends to use virtual memory more than it should. (IMO) The only time this wouldn't matter much is with the newer solid state drives that have some very impressive transfer/access rates. It will require some time and reboots to find a personal preference to how much of you real RAM you are willing to let Windows munch. The more the better.

Adobe Flash? builder? cause there's definitely a player from them. I couldn't live without flash support!

Adobe Systems pulled the plug on its only 64-bit version of Flash, an experimental version for Linux. I have 32 and 64 bit, and if I use the 64 bit I.E. Flash Player won't work. It says this on their website and you can google flash player 64 bit. You must have 32/64 bit too. Unless something has changed in the last few hours... Try opening IE 64 only, from the start menu, then go to youtube.
