Anybody using an iPad? If so are you able to pull up the website? I'm
have some issues. The site will pull up but I'm getting a listing of
sell item categories. No pictures, no notes/writing etc. This is not
good for my well being, thanks.

ya, it comes up as a mobile interface now; product categories, cart link, contact us, etc.

I believe there is a link to the desktop version on the bottom.....I
found it and enjoy the full site.

Yeah, the mobile web-site is, shall we say, not ready flor prime time. Though it has changed over time.

I don't even know if it's intentional. I tried to send an e-mail about it to RBW andy e-mail failed. But that was Sunday or early yesterday.

Yours,

I'm also unable to log in, after using the link to the desktop version.

There are a number of free or low-cost browsers for the iPad that can masquerade as other browsers. I just loaded the Riv site with a browser called iCab, set to mimic Safari on a Mac, and it worked fine.

Note - the new site (which I'm just catching up with and stumbling around upon...) now specifies that bug reports and site feedback should be sent to

dave @ rivbike.com

(and in case it gets scuffed up by the googlegroups interface, that'd be "dee-ay-vee-eee at rivbike.com")

And in that same vein, just a reminder that though this is a discussion group about Rivendell Bicycles and Products, any direct feedback with them should go directly to them.

On my desk-bound PC, the new site works great, loads quicker, works
smoother, etc. Dave did a great job and I let him know his efforts
are appreciated.

Thanks, Jim.

Dave is on it, and doing a great job orienting us. The back-end is a
whole new deal; like the first day on a new job.

We're working through it, and Dave will reply to any and all emails
and suggestions....just as soon as we stop paging him.

The new site allows us to do so much on our own.

Thanks to everyone for their patience.

John

I disabled the mobile store for now.
iPad works best with the plain site anyways.
We may roll out a beefed up mobile version in months to come but for
now plain is fine.

I'm keeping the mobile-blog (blug) version active though.
No problems with that.

Thanks for the feedback and keep it coming
