:mad::mad::mad:I did not think I would be posting another comment?? But I just placed another order and the site would not let me change my payment info to another card and the order when confirmed by e-mail did not specify the colour I wanted????? And of course I could not print out my original order as placed????? Combined with those , it seems like getting worse pop ups!! This site is so bad I just don't have the words...............

I understand your concerns, that sound very frustrating. I will bring this up at my meeting on Monday. Our website is not causing the pop-ups, that is originating from something else in your computer. Mal-ware perhaps.

I bought a lot of stuff from Canada Ammo. Firesarms, ammo and accessories.
I used to browse it daily. Now I don't bother as I can't see it on me home pc which is where I do most of my shopping.
I can see it on my Note 3, but I'm not into staring at phone for an evening.

What OS and browser are you running? What resolution is your monitor?

Generally speaking, if a website is programmed so that everything is displayed properly within Internet Explorer, it is almost guaranteed it will work in most other browsers. A number of my friends have taken programming in college and this is the #1 lesson they are taught. If it is also programmed so that it can determine the browser or device type prior to full connection to the user, it can direct them to the proper layout (m.canadaammo.com vs canadaammo.com etc)

This is my line of thinking and I will be presenting this idea at the meeting with the developers.
 
I'm not sure how programming works... but you know how when you access the CGN Forum for example, the webpage knows what is new since your last visit... any way to have a button that you can click that would show any new items that have been added since my last visit? Just thought it might be a cool feature

I appreciate your opinion.

If you would provide some specifics, perhaps there is something I can address. This is a work in progress and I did not expect to please everyone immediately.

Thanks

Let me put it this way, the ONLY way I can see the whole site is at maximum res; my screens are native 2560x1440. Basically you can play a Blu-Ray super wide angle in the bottom half of the monitor. Most screens are 1080 or less.

The flash on the site is poorly optimized as well; images are already at "full res" and are incredibly small.

The worst of all... everything I want is out of stock!

You know, I don't know. I'm a computer idiot. Its a 3 year old Dell PC.
The computer at work is windows 7, I think. Can't see your site there either. I should say that I can see the first page most of the time. Clicking on anything brings my viewing to an abrupt end.
I can see every other site here on CGN though.
 
When you speak with the dev team see if they can set the tables and or the css to 100% width values. This will better conform to the various browser resolutions. As others have stated this looks like a more mobile friendly template, perhaps Wordpress?

I agree, no need to make work with IE7, but it should be fixed to work normally with IE9-10 and Firefox and Chrome

Looks like they tried to switch to responsive layout which works well for tablets and phones but has the downside of not working well on computers.

Simple fix is to make it so it displays the normal site for people using computers and the new layout for people using phones or tablets.

There is way to many pop ups and hover overs

Also could just be me, but I find the new site almost too big, the images and text/fonts are huge and its overwhelming, when trying to view the site

To both of the above posts user agent sniffing is a horrible design practice. It leads to far more trouble than it is worth and annoys the hell out of people using certain set ups.

Though I do agree with Sharked i also find things over sized and alot of scrolling and the such
 
Just checked out the site and it now displays correctly. I didn't change any of my settings, so it must be something tweaked backstage on your side. I must say the photos in the "Specials" are really nice and crisp looking too

 
Confirmed. I was having the display issues with both Firefox and Chrome and it now display's like I would imagine it was designed. The homepage looks better now, I'm about to go browsing I'll come back with any issues I find.
 
I think we have now fixed the issue for all the main browsers. The website should be backwards compatible to browser versions around 2005 or later. If you are still having some trouble viewing, try clearing your browser cache. This should resolves the problem.

Now that we have sorted that out, we will be making some changes to the website based on consumer demand over the course of the next few weeks.

Thank you all, your patience and understanding is appreciated.
 
If you're still using Internet Explorer you deserve any and all troubles in viewing websites. Checked out the Canada Ammo site from Chrome and have to say it's one of the better ones I've come across when I'm monitor shopping.
 
I'm useing IE and CA is the ONLY banner ad I can not access properly !!!. It has to be set at 1000 magnifaction??? And Format is SU !!! I don't use chrome for anything else but accessing CA's site. From my end NO CHANGE!!!!

What version of IE? Did you try clearing the cache? Do you have anti-virus software installed if so what kind/version? What are you security settings set at in IE(whats enabled/disabled)?
 
I tested IE in a virtual machine in both windows 7 & windows 10 and it appears alright to me. The IE version is 11 in both. I also tested a win98 box and IE won't work b/c it only supports 40bit encryption in the export version(ITAR). Firefox version 2 loads the page with minor issues. So unless your system is really out of date. I couldn't find a issues.
