On the traders list on the SMAS website, the following links bring up either websites that take you away from the SMAS website, empty websites, or nothing.

Thanks Richard,

 

When the traders register and pay they get the chance to add a URL for their website which we just transposed, it appears a lot have no idea what there website address actually is :shock: lol

 

Fixed a few bits but not really much I can do to about the bad sites, if they want a link aimed at a part finished or Odd site then "C'est la vie" !

 

Regards

 

Paul

HI Paul

 

Funny how us internet experts take our knowledge for granted, its easy to forget how others dont know much about it.

I guess, like when I joined the club a year ago and knew nothing about RC back then....

 

Shame really because from a visitors point of view, if I were to checkout the traders, I'd be thinking "What the heck" :shock:

 

I'm really glad Multiplex are going to be at the show though $$$$$$$$

Lol.

 

You'd better put a time lock on your credit card Richard. You can only use it for five minutes on each day of the show!! Oh, and only make 2 single item purchases per day in the Multiplex venue. :D:D

 

 

As regards the defective links it might be worth telling traders that if links they add to the SMAS website don't, or cease to function they will be removed after say, a month of being first reported.

 

The problem is that the majority of people looking at the website will blame the SMAS website itself, not the particular traders. This will degrade people's opinion/impression of the website with possible side effects on their intent to visit the show, no matter how small, if they aren't a returning visitor.
