    OS changeover occurred last night but pricing is wrong in many newly-added items. In the sale reporting thread, Richard reports the pricing problem has been reported. Maybe fixed Daz soon. Also, QG is still the same as it's been for almost 2 weeks. No changeover yet. Everything's under control, situation normal in the Daz store. frown

    Who is this? What's your operating number?

    i See a LOT of newly added stuff in the Outlet though as mentioned prices are normal prices and some have standard discounts me wondering if the new addings are a mistake glitch has happened before also is there another big sale coming up? As I have noticed that can play havoc with Outlet and Quickgrab and even some items disappearing from Outlet as they are connected to whatever sale and jump up in price seen that happen several times and yeah QG unchanged still

    The pricing issue has been reported, and Daz are aware of the report. I don't have a timeline for a fix, but the items will of course be available in the category for some time.

    Yes. I wrote this above: Richard reports the pricing problem has been reported. Maybe fixed Daz soon.
     

    Good to have confirmation.

    I'm looking at an Outlet selection with a large number of full priced items. Doesn't sound very outlety to me.

  • SemicharmSemicharm Posts: 411

    I'm guessing that with the change over being on the weekend and whatever broke may not be an easy fix, so I wouldn't expect a quick turnaround on this. It might now get sorted out till Monday. The main "outlet" generally run all month, so it's not a huge deal. 

    It's still annoying though. I make a list of items I want and add some to my cart if I'm within a buck or two of getting a token. Better still, if I can spend a token and get another, a $1 item is practically free. That of course requires the outlet to be priced correctly...

    That's how I see it. I would be surprised if it's fixed before Monday. It would be a nice surprise, though!

    There's a glitch with the August selection staying at current non-Outlet prices. The good news is the July OS items are still at Outlet prices - I just checked out with several. To find them, go to the main store page and Sort Low to High, then scroll past the free items. (The price filter is balky so I don't bother with it.)

    Richard, thanks for keeping us posted

    The real question is, will QG refresh tonight? Wait to find out!

    If it does, absolutely nobody gets to complain that they didn't have enough time LOL.

    But if it changes on time, I'll definitely be totally surprised. xD (Sorry, couldn't resist given it hasn't been fixed for a week, and so far, Outlet isn't fixed either.)

  • What I want to see is the newest additions to the top, older entries last.

    I don't want to browse the 34 pages, is too much for me.

    So please make the experience much better, not a boring routine.

    Yes, but they do not show in either QG or OS. They are listed in the PA's store (PAMAWO) at $1.99 emblazoned with the OS logo.

  • caravellecaravelle Posts: 2,768

    Still no change to OS prices and QG items. And still no explanation from Daz?!? That’s really unbelievable. It can happen that a section completely crashes and it takes a while to sort out the problem. In that case, a reputable company keeps its customers informed. At least, that’s how it is where I live. And that’s where Daz wants to do business, after all. Wake me up when OS and QG are working again, or if Daz deigns to issue a statement. Thank you.

    Perhaps they're sulking because of recent PA announcements laugh

    I suspect the long delays fixing issues are from rolling the server at midnight to prep new day's sales during the store's quietest hours, and the problems can't get fixed until tech people are back in the office. They could solve it by having two production environments, with tomorrow's sale already staged and tested, and just switch a pointer at midnight to instantly change over. But if they didn't build it like that already, it's probably a lot to retrofit.

    At any rate, I hope the items that are in Outlet at the wrong prices stick once prices are fixed, there's a lot on my wishlist. :)

    There are a ton of ways they could make the store work most mornings and make periodic update work most times. Storefronts are basically a solved problem on the web, I would think. I can't understand how these problems crop up over and over.

  • davesodaveso Posts: 8,239

    well, now August 3 and no change. Maybe its done? Hope not. 

  • davesodaveso Posts: 8,239

    ok mods..whats up with the quickgrab and now outlet store? If its done why dont they say so and pull the stuff off the store.

  • Richard HaseltineRichard Haseltine Posts: 111,279

    The issue has, I think, been found but fixing it isn't instant.

  • Richard HaseltineRichard Haseltine Posts: 111,279

    This is getting some attention.

    awesome. thanks. it seems strange to me that this store can break as it does. I haven't designed any web pages for quite a long time, but uptime was always a huge thing.

    Well, if your staff consists of one person on nightshift, then it's easy to understand.
