    Flexible Hours Question

    Hi, Just wondering if there was someone who could offer some information with regards to this problem. My wife is looking to return to work after maternity leave and she's asked the employer if she can compress her hours into 4 days, so go to work an hour earlier and leave an hour later...

    Which Payment Gateway?

    You try getting a merchant account to take Internet Orders as a start up then! A number of my clients tried it and got knocked back because of lack of trading history.

    Another startup with payment questions

    Paypal is the very easy way to do it - it really depends how professional you want / need it to look. If you can get away with it being, erm, (how to put this kindly!) not too professional, then PayPal can integrate in with your site with no PHP coding required (although you do need to know...

    Post removed

    Well Alan, I'm certainly not imagining posting two replies, one of which I had to put as a reply because I found out I couldn't edit it! You can hard delete posts you know, not just soft delete.

    fasthosts nightmare - help

    Carl - doesn't matter with .co.uk domains. As long as the domain registrant is down as GasAngel (or his real name, obviously!), then you can change registrar direct with Nominet, the guy hosting the site has no say in it. If you want, PM me the name of the domain and I'll PM you back the...

    fasthosts nightmare - help

    You could do, but if the guy's threatened to take his website offline for naming him, chances are he'd drag his heels over transferring the domain away as well. Last thing you want is for the website to be done for a month whilst he decides to transfer the domain over. Hence my question about...

    Same here, I'm sad to say. I had two posts in this thread (http://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=107628) which I specifically remember making as its when I found out about the edit time out. PLEASE MODS - When you delete a post that is not SPAM, PLEASE tell members why its...

    fasthosts nightmare - help

    My offer still stands, your new hosting 'company' (i.e. this bloke) sounds like a right nightmare! I assume you signed some sort of contract with him, surely within that contract it doesn't state that stating his company name online will result in him shutting down your site! Out of interest...

    Where to buy my domain name?

    We use heart Internet for my domains, cheap as well. Don't use their email system though as we have our own mail server.

    Product pages redirect

    The problem is, you'll have to do that every time the ID changes, far better to fix the root cause, than the symptom...

    Product pages redirect

    David - depends what settings he can use within the .htaccess file, no all options are enabled, especially on a shared host. But I agreee, most Apache servers do have it installed and enabled. Javascript does sound like a botch, to be honest, as does any other means of keeping track of the old...

    Product pages redirect

    The obvious answer is to fix it so the product IDs don't change. I assume they change because you import them regularly to update them en-mass?

    cookies

    Agreed Silklink, the shop we've developed is designed to work with or without cookies. Do you want to explain why your client lost an order potentially worth hundreds of £/$/€ because you didn't develop the site to work under all browser conditions!

    Which Payment Gateway?

    No probs Joe, I'll await the email from Aline! Shame as well as I've just signed a client up to Netbanx because they couldn't get a merchant account (new business). Anyway, we're hijacking the thread - thanks for your replies though.

    Which Payment Gateway?

    Ah, that would explain why I didn't hear anything about it! Don't the Bank of Scotland do Worldpay, or is that RBS?
