There's a price section below the main text of the conference description, and a 'buy now' link on the left. Unless we are looking at different pages, or unless you were logged out when looking at that page.

Thanks, very puzzling

This is an up-to-date version of Firefox...

the bottom of this page says:

"(After October 12th)

Full Conference

* ProZ.com CIoL and ITI Members - Includes 3 month ProZ.com Professional Membership *
* ProZ.com Users £ 200 - Includes 3 month ProZ.com Professional Membership"

- i.e. it doesn't say how much for "ProZ.com CIoL and ITI Members"

- secondly there is no button

- thirdly I've decided not to go to this conference

You're quite right mpoma Oct 24, 2008

You're quite right, Mpoma,

thank you for bringing this to my attention, there is indeed no information on the price for CIoL, ITI ProZ members, which is in fact GBP 190.

I will ask the ProZ technical people to update this as soon as possible.

I will also ask them to investigate the Firefox compatibility issue. The button does show up in Explorer and Safari.

Best regards

Michael

PS: you can also sign up and pay direct Oct 24, 2008

PS: Please note that if you are having issues with the ProZ site, you can also sign up with and pay the conference organiser (me) direct.

There is in additional another site that has been checked with Firefox: www.translationconference.org.uk, though that site doesn't offer an online payment facility.

UK Conference Prices Oct 24, 2008

Hi all,

I have edited the conference page so that it reflects the prices for all ProZ.com members, CIoL and ITI Members and ProZ.com users:

Prices

(Before October 12th)
Full Conference

* ProZ.com Members £ 190 - Includes 6 month ProZ.com Professional Membership*
* CIoL and ITI Members £ 190 - Includes 6 month ProZ.com Professional Membership *
* ProZ.com Users £ 200 - Includes 6 month ProZ.com Professional Membership*

(After October 12th)
Full Conference

* ProZ.com Members £ 190 - Includes 3 month ProZ.com Professional Membership*
* CIoL and ITI Members £ 190 - Includes 3 month ProZ.com Professional Membership *
* ProZ.com Users £ 200 - Includes 3 month ProZ.com Professional Membership*



Note that the discount applies to members of ProZ.com, CIoL and ITI (UK Conference main sponsors).

I hope it reads clearer now.

As regards the "Buy now" button, please note that it should be located in the dark green 'Pricing for members' box at the top of the conference page to the left. This should work with Explorer and Safari as well as with Firefox.

Just let me know if you still can't see it.

Kind regards,

Lucia.

Online payment problems again Oct 26, 2008

I'm afraid the online payment system seems to have developed a mind of its own again over the weekend.

I have already informed Lucia and the ProZ team about this and am sure they will put things right very swiftly on Monday tomorrow.

Don't forget, though, that you can pay me direct, which works out both quicker and cheaper if you are based in the UK.

Many thanks for bearing with us through all these difficulties.

Best regards

Micha

ITI/proz.com conference 21-23 in London Nov 19, 2008

Hi Michael,

When I booked my conference fee I was aware of (there was not option for) a reduction for CIOL members and paid the full fee.

What should I do now? Can I do anything now?

Best wishes and many thanks in advance.
