SagePay have flipflopped. Wohooo!

After repeatedly telling me, and many others on the phone that the new MySagePay is here to stay, so get used to it, I've just had this email from SagePay:

We're currently working to make the old system talk to our upgraded infrastructure. Once this work is complete, you'll be able to use the old or new My Sage Pay.

We anticipate the old My Sage Pay to be available within the next week - it's obviously a priority so if we can get there faster we will, and we'll keep you informed.[/FONT]

I'm very, very pleased, as will everyone else be. All we need now is an apology, and ideally a sacking. No one responsible for such a mess should have the opportunity to abuse ajax in this way again.

(just in case SagePay are reading - whatever you do, DON'T DO THIS UNTIL AFTER XMAS!)

Hence I went elsewhere for a solution. This major disruption will put off businesses making the change which is a shame as the productivity gains can be massive. When it works that is
