Status: offline 		The new site looks great. But I'm confused about the "Single" sign in?
I'm still having two screen names, one for the forums and one for the Members Area??

Status: offline 		Correct, the forum login is still separate (the new Site account/login works for everything else though), but we plan to add the forum accounts into the site login in the future as well, just ran out of time for that in Phase I.

Status: offline 		I was able to log in. It shows 2 games registered that I own. I tried to register BBC BA but it says invalid key. Since the updates come from Slitherine servers I don't suppose I need to worry about this now. I guess you will get both companies integrated at some point.

I also noticed an area for downloading user content like scenarios.

If you bought BBC BA in our store, you should be able to register it here. Can you e-mail me at erikr@matrixgames.com with the serial number? That should help us figure out what's going on.

Regards,

- Erik

That's a known bug that we're working on; it affects IE 6 and 7 and should only affect the front page. If you have a different browser, please use that for now.

Status: offline 		I double checked and I had bought it from Slitherine. I don't know how this effects people with Slitherine games available from both stores. You may need to add some text to the register page for people to check which place they bought their game from.

I had the problem (IE8 I think & still with windows XP as well) but I found under tools "compatibility view" was checked on and when I turned it off the overlays went away.

Status: offline 		Hi Yogi,

That's true "Compatibility View" will make IE8 behave like IE7 and you'll see the bug. Turning it off will show you the site as intended. We are working to fix it in any case, so that all browsers will see the front page as intended.

Regards,

- Erik

Status: offline 		Well, from my personal perspective I think the blue bars are too bold and I don't like the vista style. But that is a matter of taste and rather nit-picking for sure. Important thing is that it works and since Matrix refrained from Flash, the site can be viewed on the iPhone as well.

Now it's Marc's turn to make a native iPhone app.

Status: offline 		The shopping cart is apparently being displayed in a frame that is too small for it and doesn't have scrollbars, so amounts and who knows what other info get cut off on the right. Otherwise, the site looks good. This is not easy stuff.

Firefox 3.6.12 (works okay in IE8)

Also, how do you remove an item from the shopping cart? If you set the quantity to 0, it errors, saying the minimum order is 1. But I can find no delete/remove control.

Status: offline 		Hi smvance,

The shopping cart issue you describe is something you're only seeing in Firefox? If you see it again, could you please post a screenshot for us too? Is this dependent on the number of products in the cart? We tested it in Firefox without any issues, but will retest it.

Regards,

- Erik

Wanted to bring your attention to the PRODUCTS section of the new website. I'm sure it was displaying fine during the week, but at some point (I just noticed it now) - the products you offer seem to be going down instead of across the products bar

Do you still have to remember the words for the first two digits of a phone number's prefix? *grin*
