Of course he should continue to answer the questions. I appreciate that. My point is all the build up and the limited availability. Seems kind of strange to me unless there is a reason we will hear about later. (I am sure there is). I want to hear about new upcoming products and have a chance to ask questions. The way CC is playing with their customers with the timing is what annoys me. When it is ready, announce it and take orders. What's wrong with that?

Again this is just my opinion as someone who keeps "checking" because I am in the middle of a project that I think this will help me with and it has dragged on long enough. I guess this post will take me off the first 500 list...oh well.

Twreck, if you read above, you'll see there isn't a 500 list, it's first come, first serve from my understanding.

I'm sure CC have very good reasons, of which we'll learn about in time.

Be patient and look forward to this great product.

I may be wrong here, but since this is the initial release of a major product, it makes sense to limit the initial release. All software goes through a development process with testing among a small group, then a slightly larger group, and maybe increasing the size of the beta test group and with each increase the product gets fixed again and again. Finally it is at the point of public release.

If the initial public release is too large, the support staff can get swamped just answering questions. By having a limited initial release, the support staff will have a chance to see how different people use the software (and I can do some strange things on occasion).

There is also the fact that the beta testers is a limited group, and all possible combinations of hardware have not been tested for compatibility with the program.

It may be that I am off base with my thoughts. :/

There's not many companies were you get to have a bit of banter with the main man, who's a bit of a leg-end anyway so I don't have a problem with the hype. Apart from the software, I kinda like the informality of Coffeecup, it's worlds apart from the clinically clean, politically correct, over-priced world of the big boys... like you are dealing with real people at CC so... "C'mon Scott, get your butt in action and get the show on the road":lol:

You can actually modify the CSS code directly to alter your themes. Use file/export for upload and place the files somewhere convenient on your computer. Modify the CSS files to change colours, text and images then simply upload your modified CSS files to your server.

The shopping cart designer is just a useful utility, that reduces the time to do this. Until it offers a variable width option, rather than fixed widths, it is always going to be limited in its application. :P Let's just hope the release price reflects that. :rolleyes:

Ohhh, I do hope I'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't miss it.

I'm awful at figuring out how to manually change themes as has been mentioned here.

Please Scott. Please :)

Can you be bribed with cookies to go with your coffee. Hmmmmmm?
