Um. I'm speechless.

How much are you planning to pay for this bloated monstrosity?

Well, I would be willing spend what its worth!

And I wouldnt expect it to be free at all, You know if the features are rich people will pay!

Quality says something..

Dont get me wrong C.C. is great.. But as my store grows i feel its lacking things i could use that i once had with yahoo stores. yahoo sucks though and having full controll over your database and so on is much more rewarding as a store admin. that is why i use CC :errm: its a good buncha scripts.

Ok, since I'm unwilling to edit your novel, why not go line by line and mark off the things in that list that CubeCart already does....cause there are more things on that list that it does do than the things that it doesn't.

Gee...you don't ask for much do you :(:errm:

I know that I probably missed some, but here is a much more concise (though still ridiculously long) list.

A few things I can answer for you. The SEO will probably never happen. It doesn't work right on a windows server, and the majority of the paid liscense's are for people on windows servers. He'd be biting the hand that feeds him so to speak.

The rest of this crap is all already available...most for free to next to nothing so I don't even understand what you're bitching about. No one program can be all things to all people. And I guarantee you that there are a lot of people out there that simply don't care about any of this.

My advise...find a good modder and pay them.

I started to edit your first post but sorry got bored you repeated stuff 3/4 times and more or less just listed the features of cubecart I suggest you do a bit of reading as 95% of what you ask is already achievable.

Hey, everyone is jumping on me like im saying cube cart sucks or something or like im bitching,..

IN NO WAY DID I BITCH, I SAID THAT THESE ARE THINGS ID LIKE TO SEE IN THE FINNAL RELEASE JESUS!

I KNOW IT ALLREADY HAS 94% OF THIS STUFF.. THIS IS A RECAP ON WHAT ID LIKE TO SEE FOR A FINNAL RELEASE!

AND I GOT THIS LIST FROM YAHOO SHOPPING CARTS. CAUSE THATS WHO I USED TO HAVE!!

THERE CART IS GREAT BUT YAHOO SUCKS TO WORK WITH.

I was just saying that.. omg its a waste of breath.. forget it everyone..

i allready said cube cart has some of these. im aware of that, you dont need to keep pointing that out.. maby if you read the whole thing you would have seen what i posted at the end of the long list..

oh well i love cube cart and i love you! :(

Edit orders after they are placed for last minute changes = done i think

That is one i dont think is done, i cant figure out how to change a order with out using the admin sql and changin the order in there.

I think it would be great to be able to edit there order say if you change there price or a item is out of stock, cause as of now i cant see where you edit there order after its placed.. maby im just blind */*

I have phplive on my site for live support, Its wonderful and a god sent to my support, its like having a support ticket system as people can leave msgs if your not on live to talk with. maby a built in live support system would be cool to add to cube cart later later down the road when C.C. is near finnal release. I think that would be a cool option to have for C.C. Admins/Customers.

LOL I just saw this topic for the first time and all my hair instantly fell out. Now I'm completely bald.... and ginger. :w00t:

(Hang on doen't that make me EvilHomer!??! ROFLMFAO)

@northwalesinks

The UK postal services are so backwards it's not really possible to do this. Strangely enough I almost phoned Parcel Force this morning to ask them if they will ever get off their ass and build an API.

Real time quotes would be great but the delivery companies need to implement the technology before we can.

I'm sure people won't be disapointed with 3.1. The damn bank holiday weekend has thrown me a bit this week and I've spent the last 2 days solid answering tech support emails.

No rest for the wicked. Over and out Boris. :w00t:

Final version?? pfff

I think we'll still be getting new releases in 10 years time..

But that's ok; considering there'll allways be new improvements.

Won't they?
