Glad you go it.. and Welcome.. 🙂

Hey all, just wanted to clarify how things are working right now. In order to get the store up quickly, we are using the built in store of the forums. Which has its issues but it works pretty good. 

A new store will be implemented in time thou... until then. 

Once Items are added to the cart and you proceed to "Place Order" (No payment will be needed at this time)

Your order will be put in to a holding status. While in this status, we will create the order and calculate the Shipping & Tax/VAT. Once we do that we will update your order in the system (exact shipping & tax/vat from the supplier) and you will get a email and/or a notification here. 

You can then review the order with the added fees, and at that time pay for your order. When we get payment notification, your order will be placed. 

Doing it like this, for global market was the easiest thing to do right now to get you guys the cheapest shipping and to deal with Tax/VAT. 

We are trying to pick products that are available in all facilities globally. So orders ship to you from the closest place also eliminating any import fees etc..... 

Hope this helps clarify the process.. Trying to make it easy.. 

Looking to add more things, plus color options for shirts. Post here your color preferences. We will see globally what we can make happen. 

Thanks everyone

That is certainly great news 🙂

That is perfect, I was not expecting hand painted mugs done by Tim in his spare time 😅, reason I am asking is at this point is not really clear other than for T-shirts, which seems to display where products are sourced - prices display in US dollars, there is no shipping information nor cost anywhere, even at the end of the checkout. Could be perhaps great to have USD/EUR dropdown currency choice as well as some basic shipping from information (EU/US) and estimated cost, to be able to judge any potential VAT/customs costs. Also sizes might be tad confusing as well - magical units like Wizard of Oz, or clothes sizes where US vs EU sizes will differ 😉
 

Thanks for the feedback.. I do think that Tims custom hand painted mugs are coming. 🤣

Ive added the size charts to the T-shirts and will do so in the future listings as well. 

Unfortunately, adding EUR right now is not an option. As well as auto shipping cost and Tax/VAT estimates. At this time, as you place an order and proceed to check out, you will not enter Credit Card or pay. The order will go in to a hold status. We will get notification of the order, and update it with the direct cost of shipping & Tax/VAT from the printer and you will be notified. If you decide at that time to proceed with order, you will be given the option to pay. 

Saying all that, Once things calm down just a bit here, Im going to move things to a new store and all your items will be addressed.

Also, I have noticed a weird behavior on the shopping page - when page loads, for brief moment full product information is displayed to the right of the item:

However a split second later, this changes to the below, seems the extra dropdown/quantity menu now overlays part of the information (though information at the bottom of the page is still visible)

Also, going back from the cart to the store (say you forgot to add something),  seems to wipe the cart clean.

 

Funny I haven't noticed this, I just thought it was a preview of the item description. I'll see if I can do something about that quickness. Thanks for seeing it 🙂

😳 I like the member name option. We might see that sooner then later.. At least the option   🤣

Ill make a post about color options and maybe create a poll, We need to make sure we pick stuff that is in stock in all of the main hubs. 

Thanks again for the feedback... 

Looking in to this there does not seem to be a way to set a default stream. But I could perhaps edit the code to add it. 

I'll dig a little on it. 

Massimo, the signature becomes (should become) available once you post in the Intro forum and the system changes you from "New Member" to "Members" Group.

Is the option there now? Perhaps you tried to get it added before you posted for the first time?

Let me know if you still have a problem, I'll get it sorted. 

I faced this a few years ago. I thought my distance was ok as well until I took the exam, I got Progressive len glasses (slight + for distance the bottom part is +2 and the world was like in 8k, I decided to just try multi focal contacts. Finding the right balance took a few tries. But it's been great so far. The future may have a prescription mask in store for me if my vision gets worse and can not find contacts to work... but for now it's great. 

I suggest the daily ones to anyone diving with contacts. Ive Never lost one diving, but good to have a spare in your bag. Also after 2 dives I trash them and use another set just to be safe (Bacteria etc)

I also now use a external monitor so that helps greatly too. 

Im with Tim on the full mask +2, I think could cause some ill effects for you..  😵‍💫

Prescription Dive Masks is really well rated on many forums and by Divers as BVA suggests. 

Let us know what you end up doing and how you make out.

So the forum looks great, there is even 2FA (yaay!) and it does look nicely familiar...how about dark mode though ?
Shopping wise, where are the things made and shipped from? Would USD price suggest US ?

Also Davide "About" in the Team says "Chris Ross Working on it...." 😆

 

And thank you for the effort, glad to see there is hope 🙂

 

dark mode and a lot of enhancements coming 🙂.

the products are print on demand and print closest to you for shipping and tax/vat reasons. 

we have done test orders and so far quality is great.. shipping so far from US and Spain on the shirts.

RE: Video Showcase.. good observation,  I am changing that to Photo Showcase, and we will add Video Showcase when I figure out how to hack that into allow embedding.
