Double Book Bug Fixed

The bug which has been showing up as double book entries and requests for some users has been fixed.

Simpler Blog

A blog is all about text. I have simplified the blog to a basic blogger template with minor modifications as you can probably see.

Checkout Simplified

The checkout has been simplified to remove a remnaint of the old checkout process that was present in osCommerce.

Improved Search

The search box now searches for books not on the site to give you an extensive listing from Amazon incase you quickly want to buy the book. The quality of the search for book on the site is also improved

Ship Multiple Books

I spoke with Teri, over the weekend and as the price to ship increases please pay attention to your orders that may be from the same user. As Teri has stated:

It now costs a minimum of $2.13 to ship
a single (1 pound or under) book and just 35 cents more to send a second book
the same size. It will help us all if we try to order (and fulfill orders)in
multiples.

I'm thinking about the best way to work this into the trading system but for now the best way is for everyone to simply pay attention to the users ordering books and ship out multiples together.

Revamped

We have updated our email reminder system so that you will get a reminder 7 days after an order has been marked as shipped and you have not marked it as delivered. This will help us keep track of delivered/non-delivered orders and help all of us who are forgetful!

Credit No Matter What

After great conversation with a new user I decided that you should receive credit for shipping a book regardless of another user marking it as delivered. Of course this immediately raises the concern of people abusing the system, but I'm not worried. If people don't receive a book they can still report the abuse and if I see a lot of non-delivered books from the same user then I can address the problem. You will notice that shipped books now contribute to your community investment value!
