Need a few folks to click around for me, please

[allingeneral]

Since moving to the new hosting (which incidentally seemed to be having some sluggishness in the last hour or so), I had to re-deploy the ALL-IN Tactical online store due to differences in the new host infrastructure.

I have upgraded the storefront, and I would appreciate if a few of you could click around on it from desktops, iPhones, Android phones, tablets - whatever you have. The new site should be responsive to any display surface and format.

So, take a look at http://all-in-general.com (should redirect you to http://all-in-general.com/shop) and let me know if I should change any of the colors, anything that you find that's broken or just plain annoying - please let me know!

I really would appreciate some feedback. Thanks!!

I just clicked around some, between 5 & 5:30 AM, Central Time, in Oklahoma City, OK. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S5, on Boost Mobile. Signal at about 1/2 bars, 4G. (In case any of that is relevant.)

Pictures seem a little slow to load, but not too bad. I'm actually inclined to blame that on my phone, though.

I like the basic simplicity of the layout. I don't really see any unnecessary imagery, which is good if I'm in an area with poor signal.

I did notice a bit of redundancy, though. In the category of "Firearm Accessories", you have a sub-category of "Safes & Locks", then a second sub-category of "Safes AND Locks". One of them has less items, but of those items, they can all be found in the other.

Something missing from the stock, and this is just my personal opinion, is logo apparel. There should be some "All In" hats and t-shirts. And maybe some VGOF stuff, too.

I'll click around again, when I get to Arkansas, later. And again when I'm in Kentucky. See how phone and server communicate at different points of the country.

I am only on a PC and never a handheld device.

I am on a limited data plan due to location and cost. I clicked several links and the pages opened without the .css (just a vertical list of links) and no images (expected as I use adblockplus). When I disabled ABP all was well. The pages look good.

From your first link:
http://all-in-general.com
I was taken to here:
http://all-in-general.com/shop/index.ph ... page=index

Your second link takes me to this page directly:
http://all-in-general.com/shop

There is a minor typo (spelling) on your Returns Policy - componenets << components

Looks good - good high contrast everything easily visible!

On a PC using Chrome and a DSL line.
Loading speed was typical. ie fast.
The first link took me to http://all-in-general.com/shop/index.ph ... page=index
and the first thing I noticed was the the middle "Featured product" image is cut off at the bottom so only a little of the top of the price shows.



The Catagories pull down menu needs to be tightened up. Even at full screen I'm pretty sure I'm not seeing the entire list and the sub-lists when near the bottom of the main list are being cutoff also. My normal Chrome window only allows the list to get to Optics and in full screen if I scroll down so "Catagories" is just at the top it gets to Police Gear and hovering my cursor on that only shows Batons of the sub-menu.
Granted, it is possible to scroll down when in the main pull down menu (it wasn't intuitive to me) but the last sub-menus are still cut off.

Otherwise, so far with 20 minutes of looking around, it looks good.

While I'm posting pictures.
Let this be a lesson to you, don't do business with a cut-rate re-tailer.

Just looked at the site on my lg g3 running marshmallow on my home wi-fi.loaded fast and looked good,no problems at all

Ammo is a good example for what Alan is indicating.

The only way to reach the bottom is open Categories/Ammunition - then keep the mouse over the listing and use the arrow keys to scroll to the bottom (this will scroll the entire page).

I checked out several pages with Chrome and Firefox on a Marshmallow OS. I also check it out with Edge, IE 11 and Firefox on Windows 10.

I didn't find any hiccups, but I did find a bunch of cool things I want to buy. I am out of cash today, but sometime between Monday and Wednesday... I will be "testing" the ecommerce parts for you... LOL

[SHMIV]

Lol, Marc, after your last purchase, all your spare moneys are belong to ExxonMobil.

Fixed - thank you!

Thanks! This is an important aspect of the design which I hope I have dialed in pretty well.

Hmmm... I don't see this using firefox. Will have to give it a good look...

Yep - Categories need some work....there are so many of them... I have ideas, but it will take a bit more work in the code to get it done.

Thanks for your feedback!

I'm connected on my desktop (Win7+Firefox), my iPad2 (iOS 9.3.1+Chrome) and my Samsung Galaxy S5 w/ Chrome.

The only issue I see so far is on my phone when I try to select ammunition by caliber. It never shows me the available ammunition under that caliber.

I'll keep browsing around on all three.

GOt categories drop down fixed up a bit, I think.

What caliber are you looking at? Try 12 Gauge. I'm using Android with firefox, and I have to scroll down past the categories in order to view the available items... I'm thinking about getting rid of the categories for the mobile view because it's a bit in the way in my opinion.

[wittmeba]

This is using my everyday Firefox browser configuration. I get the same results with a squeaky clean copy of Fx profile as well.

There is no way to scroll down on the categories menu or ammo once it drops below the bottom of the browser window.

I suspect there is a property on a listbox to limit the items to force a list-scroll occurs or a value that forces space to the lower edge of the container - in this case the web page or browser window. As I indicated above the only way to reach the bottom of the list is move the mouse over the list and use the down arrow key.

[wittmeba]

I don't know if one of these are the right answer but you might look at your class="level3" definition in the .css file and see if one might apply.

I was doing some more clicking around. I started looking again after my drive shift ended in Arkansas, but I fell asleep.

Looking again in London, KY at about 1:30-2am. Loads about the same as in OK City, 1/2 bars, 4G-LTE.

I had noticed the same thing with the Categories menu, but forgot to mention it. I do note that it has tightened up a bit. But, after you click on your category and sub-category, can the menu be made to disappear?

I made a point, when clicking through this time, to browse different "aisles" of the store, and I note a lot of empty shelves. In other words, entire categories that are out of stock. If I were some random, walk-in customer, I might wonder if you were going out of business.

My wife just was looking at the site; she just said "The website isn't working; I want an inflatable boat, I clicked on boats, and it's not showing me boats." She got frustrated and stopped browsing.

Might I suggest removing the out-of-stock items, until such time as they are back in stock?

Also, I texted the link to a couple of friends, and asked them their opinions. When they get back to me, I'll let you know what they think.

What's the purpose of the down arrows in the pull down menus?
If you click on one it becomes an up arrow but other than being click bait what are they for?

Also, if it were me I'd hide any dead end menu items until they lead somewhere. IE Information > Useful Links doesn't have any.

The 30 round mag. image is still being cut of at the bottom in Chrome even when I go full screen.
