It was a painless procedure, excepted for a few things:
1) When one is creating an account, you only ask for email and login name. You really should ask for the whole thing, as in default osC: address and everything you should need to order a thing. The fact is: no matter GL stuff and everything, your site is serving 1 purpose over the rest: selling stuff. It's not logical to have to enter your shipping-billing address as you buy something. This should already be done at account creation.

I originally did this but the client didn't like it and only wanted the username and password. Since she is paying the bills I have to do what she says. Its not hard to change it back but some of the default osC error correction and tax zones would have to be translated over to GL.

2) I've entered a very silly note when ordering. A short text in the comment text field. Then the system asked me about my addresses and blah blah blah... And then, the text was gone! I didn't had the inspiration to write back my silly text involving geespotting allusions, but nevertheless, I was frustrated (again). If you'd have taken my whole pedigree from the starting point, it would have worked I guess... As in standard osC.

When you first went to the checkout page did it not redirect you to an address page before you could even type in comments? I noticed this issue once in the past but couldn't repeat it. I will take a look at this.

3) There's no explanation about Male G-Spot. I was intrigued at first to read the words Male and G-Spot in the same sentence. Then, you left me down on my way to satisfy my thirst for knowledge. Again, frustration.

Not all the content is on the site yet. Check back next week there should be plenty of info to satisfy ;-)

4) When we are in the "store" part of your site, there's the old standard osC message greating us: Welcome back Dude... or the name you entered with the address, and then, always on top, you have «Welcome to LoveNectar.com, loginname». This is more greeting than I need. You should configure your top message for showing the "real" first name of customers, and then, you should forget about asking for a login name, as you'll follow my counsel in item 1) and go for a standard osC login system: email + password, hopefully a password chosen by customers.

I am going to remove the osC greeting all together due to a different issue with it.

Finally...) Your top graphic is quite elaborate (and very 56k modem unfriendly). I think that everything below needs redesign. I won't go as far as telling you what you should do, I understand you were on a quest for breaking the block mold in opening the frontiers, but since your template is still basic GL-osC square formed, you should obey square rule #1: clear delimitation of the space. Otherwise, I'd suggest you break the whole column pattern and explore new ways of displaying infos, which I understand is more complicated. And please, strip your site from old osC graphic stuff. I think a good start would be to work on your css.

Once again this my clients desire overwriting mine (and apparently yours). If my client agreed with you I would be more then happy to take her money and change it.
I will most likely remove some of the default osC graphic stuff but I am not going to make more without getting properly compensated.

Thanks for helping test! Hopefully removing the ™ from the site name will fix your email issues. I didn't delete your non-working accounts yet but I will so you could test the emails again. I think its an issue with your email client, but I really don't know for sure.
Yes I am mental.
