Bad card links in Store
Feb 19^th, 2011, 2:48am

My friend Cathy Sherman needed a laugh so she went to my store to look at some of my new cards. In doing so she found a series of new cards that when clicked led her to the home page.

I found 11 cards in the range 766608 - 767379 that are messed up this way. There may be ones by other artists within this same PID range that may have the same problem.

Thanks Cathy for pointing this out, but next time buy a few dozen Grin

Another problem I found was that when I originally went to look for your store, I did a search on GCU for Comical Captions, which only turned up three of your more than 6,000 cards. I'd thought that if you did a search by store name, the cards in that store would appear, but it seems you need to put the store name in your keywords. Is that right? I always do, but wondered whether I needed to.

Anyway, thanks for all of the laughs! Grin

The cards that you currently can't click on are really funny and clever. A funny visual trick of the Eiffel Tower. At least you can see them by hovering over them. Hope the problem gets fixed soon so people can buy them! Hope you sell "beaucoup"!

I looked for a thread that referred to this, didn't see this until now....been chatting about it here:
http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/forum/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1298212292

IT'S happening to my latest six cards, link goes to home page of GCU instead of to the card's page.

Looks like there are spaces in the URL for these cards for some reason, which is breaking the URL and redirecting you to the homepage. I'll alert the programmers, however we may not get to look into this until we're back in the office on Tuesday.
