[Nothingface5384]

good deal on the wishlist idea, that and the gift certificates would go hand in hand

btw, bigmike.. about the new 30spline transfercase outputshaft.. was the year a typo says 79-85 was it suppose to be 95 as in it'll work with front and 4ward shift cases?

oh, and i noticed some products can be had for 0$ lol
think it was the complete 3rds section

I know what youve been doing, and it looks great. Really awsome for your first Drupal site. I especially love the pictures of Maggie (the girl wearing the Marlin Gear)

Maybe people would like to know more about her.

Just a thought.

the paypal thing is a great idea .....

I'm guessing that may just bum some people out

I like that the bb looks the same as the web pages, and while we are on the bb subject the 1st two sections stay in color like they always have a new post unlike the others that go b/w when there are no new posts.

Can you elaborate on this? Thank you

Correct, (regarding the new board index images) this is intentional. The Customer Service section is not post based, so there is no new or old posts distinction, and since the Product Support is the main intent of this Customer Support Forum, I decided to leave the Turtle in full bright color to stand out making it on a level above the other forums.

[BigMike]

Regarding a Product Wish List, this is a great idea, I will see if it is available.

Ok, I have installed a Wish List & Gift Registry system however I need to create a new image for the wish list button as well as do a little bit of theming work so that it looks and feels just right before we start using it.

Stay tuned as this will be available very soon.

It is past 1am all

The link to the commercial site should be a little more obvious than

WWW

Really? You think so? I struggled for the longest time on how to link back to our main website. I figured that was an excellent solution

I would agree since I hadn't figured out where the new link was and simply typed the web address in.  How about "STORE?"

[blackdiamond]

Really? You think so? I struggled for the longest time on how to link back to our main website. I figured that was an excellent solution

It implies World Wide Web so I would expect a link to yahoo or google. 

[Nothingface5384]

obvious to me...why, would you guys think it would be yahoo or google when 90% of the browsers have those searchengines built into them
but changing it to store would be better i guess

[V-Man]

It implies World Wide Web so I would expect a link to yahoo or google. 

I thought it was maybe a page of links to related sites...You know things that are useful to the memebers.

I clicked on it just to see were it went and ended up in the store..It's like walking through an unmarked door and finding myself in the women's shower room. Just as exciting but alot safer..  

[BigMike]

Hmmmm ok, I agree "STORE" would be better.

WWW in this sense refers to our SUB DOMAIN. http://www.marlincrawler.com is our main site where as http://board.marlincrawler.com is of course this message board.

I will figure out a better link to return home



Also, I forgot to point out that I have not spent much time testing the checkout system and hence the template is not completed yet. This is far up on my priority list. It will be finished come Monday evening. The email which is sent with order details is themed correctly but not the checkout process, especially the order completion page, it is all messed up It will be good very soon

Yeah, this was a complete oversight. I noticed it during the last minute double checking of everything just before midnight New Years Day. I was waiting on quotes from my superiors regarding allllll of the new Ring and Pinion ratios we now carry. We've added 3.90:1, 4.56:1, and 5.71:1 to our Yukon Ring and Pinion product line which is why I couldn't just copy the info from the old site. I will have to wait until Monday to get this fixed. Thanks!

The Complete ARB Equipped is the only one that is finished. Check it out here: http://marlincrawler.com/differential/complete/arb-equipped

[Nothingface5384]

no prob BM, i was almost tempted to order those..all i would of had to pay was shipping j/k lol
more variety is always better
3.90s would be good for the v8 guys
i may snag up some 4.56s

[*** YELLER ***]

Can you elaborate on this? Thank you

ohhhhh thank you, I didn't understand what you were saying initially. You are right, that doesn't go well. I can reconfigure the colors, not a problem with those. This has been added to the TO-DO list

Thank you very much everyone for all the excellent feedback!!

[KDXSR5]

The D-Shackle Reciever Block is listed at $0.00 as well.

Damnit, ok I will go through each and every product on Monday morning to make sure everything is right.

The problem is I do not know any of our pricing so initially I installed alllllllllllllllll of our products. The system required a price, so I either entered $0 or $1 for convenience. Then when I got all the pricing info from CruzrDave, I had to go back and update the prices. But for some new products, he had to come up with a sales price first, and I forgot to follow up on everything amongst the other stuff I was doing

I guessed on the price for now, it will be correct come Monday.

Thanks for all the help!! We were expecting there to be errors, I am glad I am receiving excellent feedback as many of the errors are being corrected at an extremely quick pace!

Looks good Mike, you rock! 

There is alot of gray.  Kinda gives a dark feeling, maybe change some of the borders or ? to kinda brighten things up a little! 

The bubbles around the screennames/information/avatar in the posts is a little distracting, it keeps pulling my eyes off the posts I'm trying to read.  Making it harder for me to read the posts.  The red fonts on the dark gray background is hard to read.

Alot of small minor grammar errors, typo's, and choppy wording in the product descriptions, but I assume that those will be cleaned up over time.
