Can’t add an item to a wish list if it’s out of stock (specifically http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc … ts_id=9261).Also, where did the “Notify me when more items are in stock” feature go? I rely heavily on this!
This (i.e. both your issues) has now been fixed. Thanks!
bricogeek:
It seems all URL pointing to http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/ shows a 404 page.Put a redirect in yut htaccess for that and also make a custome 404 document.
Also some little suggestions:
Put avaliable stock (in numbers) in the category list (not only in the product page)
Put a downloadable PDF of the invoice in order history
Anyway, nice work!
Not everything pointed to /commerce/ 404s. Most all old links to products, tutorials, news posts and a host of other things redirect properly. Do you have a specific page you can point me to? I’ll work on getting better 404s for truly broken /commerce/ links.
We did have the stock numbers visible in the category list for a while, but people complained that it was too cluttered. I think the icon showing the availability is sufficient, but we might revisit this.
We’re about done with a pretty solid print stylesheet for order history, and I believe a PDF is coming soon too…
Thanks

Wishlist, backorder, do not work from here:
Thanks for the heads up! Can you give me any info about which browser version and operating system you’re on?
follower:
In Chrome (version 7.0.517.44) the search that is initiated by typing “sparkfun.com” and pressing tab now fails as it uses this URL:http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/advanc … n=products
rather than:
http://www.sparkfun.com/search/results? … t=products
And it appears this isn’t the only instance:
http://www.google.com/search?q=sparkfun … result.php
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22spark … ult.php%22
I assume it’s because there’s no redirects set up from the old search URLs?
–Philip;
Both copies of Google Chrome I tested (versions 6.0.472.63, 7.0.517.44) and Chromium Browser (7.0.517.41) are now up-to-date with the current search schema.
Why people link to search results, I have no idea. But then I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. A redirect is now in place.
Tracking numbers are no longer showing up in shipment emails.
Great job on the site!
Regards,
Nick
Ran into a problem where volume discounts weren’t being shown.
Specifically, added 10x http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9806 ; cart showed unit price of .95, w/ 9.50 total.
I was logged out at the time; logged in w/ my account, and the unit price displayed correctly (.86 w/ 8.60 total).

I just ran your site in compatability mode and it worked fine. Could you possibly fix it to work with newer browsers like IE 8.0in compatability mode and it worked fine. Could you possibly fix it to work with newer browsers like IE 8.0

This is an ongoing cat-and-mouse game while we continue to push out bug fixes - fix it for IE7, it breaks in safari on windows. Push for IE8 it breaks for chrome on mac… you know how it goes
I just pushed a change that should fix a lot of IE8 javascript issues - let me know if it is still broken.
For the record, we’re targeting IE7+

Updated those two links, thanks for the heads up!
Every time I select an address (I have two) and get my shipping calculated in my cart, all the prices of the stuff in my cart drop. Repeating that I managed to get everything in the cart (and the cart total) to €0.01, though it won’t go below that.

It still is broken, with similar error messages on different lines.
It’s not that improtant to me if it works without having compatability mode on, because all I have to do is click a button and it works. Other people that aren’t familiar with using compatability mode are the people that would need this fix. And with IE 9.0 on its beta release, your probably going to need to update it soon to work with the newer browsers anyway.
I’m trying to place an order , but I cannot checkout my cart :
When I choose an address , and press ‘calculate shipping’ , it loops for several minutes (with the two circle array on the web page moving).
After that the address is displayed in grey , but no shipping fees are displayed and If I pressed ‘check out’ , nothing happens. 
I’m using Firefox 3.6 on win xp sp2.
Edit: after some several tries , I got a new page telling me that there’s something wrong with the sipping quotes. It advices me to check my postal address (that never changed
Edit 2 : it’s working now. Thnaks 
I noticed on the news page:
that the current post (the free day post) is out of order.
Found another one - in this tutorial http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/220, I’d say that the 4th equation, instead of being the same image as the one above it:
Voltage on Pin (mV) = (ADC Value)*(System Voltage(mV)) / (Max ADC Value)
should instead be:
Voltage on Pin (mV) = (ADC Value)*3300 / 1024?
Found one! On this page: http://www.sparkfun.com/wish_lists, quantity discounts work correctly. On the page showing you the contents of the wishlist though, the quantity discounts are neither factored into the subtotals nor the “Wish List Total”. I’ll make my wishlist public if it helps, just let me know.
Good work on the new site by the way, it seems like it’s coming along very well.
I just posted several comments on the main site blog and tutorials. Even though the posts previewed OK, all the formatting was stripped away and the text posted as a single unbroken blob. It even removed the quotation tags so it ran together the original quote with my reply.
To see what I mean, have a look at my three posts here: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10155.
I generally put some effort into formatting my posts so that they are more clear to the reader, so it is a bit frustrating to have all that removed. Especially when the formatting shows up in the preview.
While I’m posting, I’ll also ask for the ability to delete my blog comments - at least if nobody has replied yet.
Thanks,
[EDIT] I just looked again, and most of the formatting magically came back. In other words, posts that I had just seen as unformatted blobs suddenly regained their formatting. I’ll point out that the quotation tags are still not working right. My entire post was credited as a quote, even though only half of it was a quote. [/EDIT]
I don’t know if this has been posted already I did a quick skim of the posts but I one I found is that at the check-out that when you click calculate shipping it , adds a seemingly random amount to the total. ( ranging from $3.67 AU to $7.61 AU)
Just ran across this.
Serial 7-segment display manual

Under ‘baud rate control’ there’s a typo.
Example: to change the baud rate to 4800 first enter
the special command character 0x79, followed by the
binary number 1. So, send: (0x7F)(0x01)
0x79 should be 0x7F.
