If anyone notices issues with the gallery not loading or behaving as you would expect, I'd appreciate your feedback….

Thank you, we are populating when we have time.  Big push next week….

Actually looks really great on iOS. Almost better than in full format.

[Giles]

I think the gallery show the pics better than the website.

Issue:  We don't want to have too many photos on the product pages, otherwise there will be loads of scrolling on mobile devices
Problem: I can't stop @Sam taking millions of photos and not being able to choose which are best to display
Solution: (Eventually) Each product (or most) will have a link like the one on the IHM-14 page, that looks like » See more images in the Iron Heart gallery, clicking on that link will take you to loads more product pics…

I found the link to the gallery with more product images very useful.

Some other things I noticed:

-the X on a size that's not in stock is barely visible
-many 'see product in shop'-links on the forum need an update as their category-site was updated (e.g. cutnsewn became cut-and-sewn etc.)

It's a great idea and using more of Sam's top quality work can only be a good thing. I've already spent quite some time browsing items I own and don't own. Alone in the dark whilst drooling slightly.

@Madame Buttonfly I have also noticed that the "see product in shop" link does not work on the IHT-1610 forum page.

Does now - thanks…..

You're welcome

Two things we would like your advice on.

1)  Should we add Australian Dollars as a payment currency?
2)  Should we add Amazon Payments as a payment method?

1. Only if you refer to them as SHTRALYAN DOLLAROOS

[Chris]

Do you get a significant portion of sales from Oz?

[Giles]

Not an extraordinary amount, but I think that it should be a lot larger than it is…..

[Dion]

Amazon is pretty huge and present everywhere on the globe, so it might be a good paying option for folks who do not use paypal or credit cards.

Quick UX question/observation having browsed the site via mobile (iOS) a bit this evening.  Feel free to shoot me down if I'm way off on this.

Should the product type filter be collapsed by default (like the 'menu' dropdown) once you've clicked off the homepage?  Seems a bit jarring to have to scroll down on a product page, or even a category page (i.e. Bottoms), once you've clicked through.  Just means you can't see what you've clicked through to/for the instant the page has loaded.

Haven't compared how this currently works/displayed on desktop btw…

If anything it'll be a great way to educate the misinformed about my culture

[Snowy]

I'm not fussed either way. It doesn't make a difference to me either way. Currency conversion fees are usually only 1-2% and it's not enough to stop a purchase. Do you really want to be stuck holding AUD would be my question

[dylantbmayes]

Do you actually hold the foreign currencies though? Once funds are received you can convert to your preferred currency, right?

[Giles]

We hold USD, JPY, GBP and Euro because we need them.  AUD could get converted and put straight into our GBP account by Braintree (if a credit card transaction) or converted to GBP if a PayPal transaction…..
