John,

Yes,  Ghosted out products are indeed "out of stock".  On the old system any product with a 0 quantity would hide. This feature is coming in next month's build of the software.

For now,  if you look on the left side of the screen when you are in a product category you will see a search filter. Of you flag "in Stock only" and press the "show products" button, it will filter the 0 quantity products out.

I didn't spot that, thanks for the tip!   That solves it for me.

 

Thanks Gromet, you beat me to it.

Good stuff on your site.  Thanks.  I shall be ordered some stuff.

 

BTW, one of the luxuries I treasure most in my "semi-retirement.."  is that "I don't do airplanes anymore."  

 

Flying has changed a lot in the forty years since I started flying regularly for my job, Back then, you were  completely out of touch from the world and your work while on a plane - no phone, no movies, on wifi, no laptop for that matter . . . but the food was good.

Lee, another thing about air travel back before 9/11, is that you were treated like a guest, not like cattle!  My flying in the last few years has not been the pleasant experience that it used to be.

I, too, used to fly regularly in my job....since 9/11, I have flown once.  The more

you read about it, the less appealing it is...and I went back to motor trips.  Even

getting a ticket sounds like more of a hassle than it is worth.  Travel agents have

vanished.  With the opening title, I thought maybe you had climbed Everest.

I totally agree with the "flying" comments.

I fly alot, around 12-15 trips a year. Mostly Jetblue and they IMO are the best. Do they screw up? Sure, they all do. TV's, Movies, Wifi, comfy seats, tons of free snacks and great service. Time goes fast on a bi-coastal flight.

I understand - so many jobs you have to fly.  I did in mine, but I don't fly anymore - not the flying I dislike as much as the airports, the cattle call boarding, the crowding.  I just did too much of it.  Haven't been in an airport in three years now. 

 

Years ago, I used to take Pan Am Flight 1 or 2 about four times a year - they were round the world tickets going one way or the other that you could schedule to get on and off as you wanted - I would do NY to LA to Syndey to Perth to Mumbai to Rome to Paris, etc..  One time it took me ten weeks to complete the flight.  You can't do that type of travel without burning out eventually, but it took me years.  Pan Am and Singapore Air were my favorites.  The both served good food and free booze, the flights were long but comfortable, and they only had big, big jets on those routes.

 

I recall being on one with the very first laptop the stewardess had ever seen. We were over the pacific when she first saw it, and she wasn't sure if I could use it and called the captain.  The Pan Am skipper came back and spent twenty minutes playing a submarine game with me - he really wanted one.  After that he said it was fine to use . . . 

Hi! I'm reading this thread at 30,000+ feet as I return to Dallas from UK.  Wifi on long flights lets me get work done (like the Forum!)
