When my customers (and me!) click on the "For our January Guests" and "For our January Hosts", NOTHING happens.

Tried using other browsers, too. No luck. The "theme show' link works.

This started yesterday to the best for my knowledge.

Input appreciated :)
 
I didn't realize that was a problem, but I can't seem to get the sale prices on stones to show up on the PWS. I tried a couple times to go in like I was ordering on a show and it still shows the regular prices.

Is anyone else having this problem? I don't want to lose outside orders if people can't get the sale prices to show up.

That's part of my worry! I do have the specials listed in another part of the PWS but doggone it :(
 
First time poster on this forum so hi! I ran into this problem on my laptop (the links not working) which does not have Adobe Acrobat. When I opened it on my desktop (which has Adobe Acrobat), it opened as a PDF file. So, I am assuming that you may not have the correct program to open the file. HTH!
 
Val, they have to click on teh guest special category, not the stoneware category.

To reiterate, the links not working are "For Our January Hosts" and "For Our January Guests". Located between Host a Cooking Show and View Our Theme Shows--those 2 items are working.I'll call HO tomorrow. The links are broken (with message to that effect) and not working in Mozilla or IE. Bummer.
