Re: Andymark Beta Testing Log
 

remember, when looking at this TEST website, the rules are made up and the points don't matter.

In other words:You should not read anything into what you see on the site. The parts you see here may not be legal and the credits may not reflex their actual value.

Even if you did not sign up for FIRST Choice Beta testing, the intention of sharing the link is to help generate more traffic on the server once the noon testing commences.

I learn something new every day. Thanks.

Re: Andymark Beta Testing Log
 

Spent the past 15 minutes poking around the site, and I have to say... it's extremely nice! So far, I can tell everyone:

Browser support:
The site appears to work equally well in IE 6, 7, 8, and 9, Firefox 25, Chrome 31, Safari for iPhone(most recent version), and Chrome for iPhone (most recent version). I do NOT recommend using it on the iPhone, however, as what I'm seeing has not been optimized for mobile displays. I don't expect this will be an issue for most people, though. Just use a real computer.

In terms of finding issues, I've only noted two issues so far, and they are pretty minor, not hindering ordering any parts. Honestly, most people probably wouldn't even notice/think about them.

Re: Andymark Beta Testing Log
 

Agree with this, and an added note from the email:

Even if you're not in the beta test, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go to this site anyway at noon, the email says the more traffic at noon, the better.

Re: Andymark Beta Testing Log
 

The one thing I don't like is I can't view all items in one list, and the default items per page is 4. Otherwise, nothing seems broken yet.

South Sudan is not on the list of countries for the addresses. Yes, that is the only thing I have been able to find wrong yet.

Re: Andymark Beta Testing Log
 

I got a bunch of saws and two talons. :D The system moved through OK, and the quantity available and on hold seemed to be updating correctly.

My one problem was that the shopping cart timer does not increment as you move through the checkout process, it counts down from 2:15 from when the last item was placed in the cart. My first order timed out as I was reviewing the order confirmation screen, and it emptied my cart. Might want that timer to either 1) be longer or 2) reset on more actions, like clicking checkout or as you proceed through the checkout options.

Re: Andymark Beta Testing Log
 

It looks like I can keep parts in my cart forever by just clicking "update shopping cart" link every two minutes without making any changes to quantities or anything.

Re: Andymark Beta Testing Log
 

This. Slow internets here. I wasn't able to check out before cart expired.

Re: Andymark Beta Testing Log
 

What I reported back to AndyMark:


I did not receive an email that show the number of points that I was supposed to get. I was only aware that it was live after checking the Chief Delphi thread.

Some of the items, when clicked on to add to cart, took me to another screen, to add it to the cart. It was somewhat difficult to return to the order screen, and took away precious order time. If this was real, I'm sure I would have missed out on some of the opportunities because they go fast.

I was also timed out during the checkout procedure. It takes longer that the 2 minutes to type up all the information that was requested. I don't know how that would have affected my order.

Re: Andymark Beta Testing Log
 

Same here or changing the quantities and hitting enter does the same.

Re: Andymark Beta Testing Log
 

I managed to get out of stock saws into my cart. They were available when I added them, then went out of stock at some point most of the way through the checkout. I went out of the checkout screen, and then it will no longer let me begin the checkout process with the saws in my cart, but does not give me an error message telling me why it doesn't do anything when I click "Checkout".

Whilst working on this, the cart timer expired and everything was removed. The joystick that was also in the cart has now been claimed by someone else.

-"Preview" is not an intuitive choice for "browse" or "shop"

-It would be nice to be able to save shipping address type as part of the address.

-The only way to check points available was to view the cart after items were placed in it. I could not find a point balance prior to adding items to the cart.

-I don't know if this is a beta test feature, but after every order it reset my point total to 100.

Re: Andymark Beta Testing Log
 

My feed back below.

1.Before Noon I clicked repeatedly on add to cart on several items in a row. Every 2nd or third click on a separate item would cause it to go to the items page. For example, I click add to cart on joystick and then classmate immediately after and the product overview page for the joystick opens.
2.Before Noon some items I can double click add to cart and it redirects to the product over view page. Classmate does this for example, but the compressor doesn't.
3.Clicked to add talon from preview page and takes me to the product overview for the talon and does not add to shopping cart. Same happens to all Controls items except the Sidecar
4.Received warning that shopping cart was going to empty but it didn't empty, just restarted the timer.
5.Every time I changed quantities or click update shopping cart, the timer resets to 2:14
6.I was able to place 3 orders one for 54 points, 1 for 94 points, and 1 for 97. Since orders are pending, I still have full 100 credits available. Order numbers 54, 94, and 149.

Re: Andymark Beta Testing Log
 

Anybody else try doing multiple orders yet? I have:
Order number 100:
photoswitch (1)
Talon (2)
Joystick (1)
CIM (6)
DSC (2) Compressor (1)

Order number 161:
Classmate (1)
Servo (3)
Photoswitch (5
CIM (5)
DSC (2)

Order number 166:
CIM (20)

for a total of 281 points spent so far. It doesn't seem to be subtracting points when I complete my order.
