QA Dept: Buy now link broken

Correspondent from New York




Buy Now?
Has anyone noticed the buy-now link is broken for more than 2 days? Here are some possible reasons nobody noticed it:


a) Very few people buy Delphi, C++ Builder or RadPHP. So nobody noticed this error.


b) Nobody at Emb. checks their own site (unless someone points this out to them).


c) They make so little revenue from the website that it probably does not matter.


d) They use ETS CMS and PHP. They should use IntraWeb Studio instead (oh wait, that's discontinued).


e1) Embarcardero's own site is using PHP, but they are not using their own framework.

e2) Embarcardero's own site is using MySQL, but they are not using Interbase.

That should tell you how much confidence they have in their own product they attempt to sell.


Not to be outdone, don't be surprised after this posting this issue will get fixed.

Maybe they prepare the store for the XE2 sales.

Or the meaning of the URL is what the URL says and no one wanted to do so.

I just tried www.embarcadero.com

Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL

It seems to be a technical issue

Restored and works.
