Title: Buy problems....
Post by: flaviossa on February 13, 2008, 19:55:45: Hi!
I live in Brazil and iÂ´m trying to buy a copy of shipSim08.
I choose the version "download version" ang to the "shopping cart". When i click in "checkout" this apears:

------ In portuguese! IÂ´m using firefox BR -------
O servidor nÃ£o foi encontrado
O Firefox nÃ£o consegue encontrar o servidor em shopping+cart.php.

* Verifique erros de escrita no endereÃ§o tais como ww.exemplo.com em vez de www.exemplo.com
* Se nÃ£o conseguir carregar nenhuma pÃ¡gina, verifique a ligaÃ§Ã£o do seu computador Ã rede.
* Se o seu computador ou rede estÃ£o protegidos por uma firewall ou um proxy, verifique se Firefox tem permissÃ£o de acesso Ã Internet.
------------------------------
In other words, the page can not be found. Since this is the only way for me to buy this EXCELENT Sim, i have no other alternatives to get it. :'(

Please help! I have an international credit card to complete the process, but for an unknow reason this is happening..... Anyone with contact to the staff of the game please help me.

Thank you all and sorry about english mistakes....

Post by: NathanC on February 13, 2008, 20:01:52: Maybe you can ask one of the Admins or members to buy it for you and post it?

Or, go to www.ebay.co.uk, and buy a copy from there. Make sure the seller can send it to portugal and then download the language pack, which alows you to view the game in spanish?

Post by: flaviossa on February 13, 2008, 20:09:16: Yes, its a way....

IÂ´m going to check if amazon.uk can send it to me here in Brazil.... But please, if someone can talk to the staff about this problem in the page, i apreciate!!!!

Thank you Nathan

I've just checked the site, everything is working fine for me. Have you tried using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox? It may also be an idea to check your browser settings ;)

Regards.

Yes! I think i discovered the problem:

... That is the error page.

So, o pickup this address and put in front:
http://www.shipsim.com/shopping+cart.php/

For some reason the first part "desapear" when i click checkout....
I actually encountered the same problem. I checked the HTML source, and the URL for form submit is "//shopping+cart.php/ ".
The contact page has a similar problem, with a form submit URL something like "//support/contact+us.php" ... so I can't even ask question through the contact page.
I also tried to solve the the problem using the same trick, typing the apparently correct address "http://www.shipsim.com/shopping+cart.php/". However, I were not comfortable with ordering online this way then, and so didn't proceed. Now giving your success, I think I may give it a try.
Is it an issue of compatibility with web browser? I noticed most links on the shipsim website have double-slash after shipsim.com, except for some pages.

Post by: flaviossa on February 18, 2008, 13:14:34: SFC, im my case it worked.... There was a substantial wait in the credit card verification (Some about 3 min) but it worked fine. Dont click anything in the credit card verification...!! The process after that was very quick!!

Good sailin' ;D

Those of them that matter seem to be happy. ;D

Witness the recent cheese ceremonies, marmite sessions, muppet character impressions and so on. Happy? Manical, I'd reckon. Or do they wear manicals?
