I also like the new site.actually was expecting threads, pics, info, etc.to be lost in the process. Excellent job.......especially considering the minimal downtime. Was just suggesting a "this site has moved click here" type message on the old one to let folks find the new one easier.
Nor was yours

Took me forever to get back on because my dumb ass forgot to reset my book mark.
Really like the new look to the home page also.
I think it's a major accomplishment considering it took me 3 weeks to figure out why my volume slider on my task bar kept turning my volume down.
I envy your computer savvy.

Thanks Don for everything...

I think I'm here to, well, "bitch, bitch, bitch" or what was meant to be help with the kinks. If only I was here Thursday and saw this thread. :mad:
So, here I go.
The old main link to FTT ( http://fairtradetobacco.com/forum.php ) redirected me to http://wholeleaftobaccollc.com/ which is the new WLT main link.
There at the top of the right column, above "Form Links" is the FTT logo linked to the new FTT main link. ( http://wholeleaftobaccollc.com/forum/ ) that works perfectly.
which is the old WLT main site link ( http://www.wholeleaftobacco.com/ ) which still works perfectly.) and adding llc before the .com.

On the new WLT site ( Home ) in the scrolling products center window ) there is a FTT logo incorrectly linked to the new FTT site (http://wholeleagtobaccollc.com/forum) ... there is a (g) where there should be a (f).

I still can not access my account at the new WLT site. (Store)

If this is not "helping with the kinks" I'll stop now if you want. ...:(
And, y'all feel free to tell me how annoying this is.

One more thing. The sites are looking GREAT !! Except for the short header on the new WLT site. I'm done.

Thank you all for your time, effort, and patients.
severely out on a limb,

I'm not savvy enough to understand these comments but I believe CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is welcomed.

Thanks. Can y'all access your accounts at the new WLT site. or the (Store) link at the top of this page ?

The Store link at the top works for me. It takes me right to the new WLT site. However, I was not able to access my account so I just created a new one with the exact same information. The only thing lost is my purchase history which is no big deal.

I just checked it. Works fine for me too.

Yeah, I don't know what to do...

I'm getting all kinds of nasty emails from people bitching about not being able to get on the site.

Bitch about the site being slow, bitch about down time, bitch, bitch, bitch.

I try to fix the problems and get bitched at for that too.

F it.

Howdy Don,

Good job on the changeover! You better be glad your not running the apple developers website. They've been down down now for over two days now, actually it went down about the same time your site switched over. Or at least I noticed the two at the same time. And just before they were ready to release the latest beta of IOS7 and OSX. Anyway, you should see all the bitching going over there. Users promising to sue apple, complianing about getting hundred of emails saying their password has been reset, their wife's going into labor due to the outage, etc. As my wife would say "Uff Da!" Comparatively speaking your was no more than a blep!

About the only thing that will need some work sometime down the road is switching over to using pretty url's to improve your SEO search results. Not sure what package your using (although it looks like Zen cart), it should be fairly easy to make the change.

Great Job! Chuck.

I have been away since last week and my bookmark took me straight to the New Wholeleaf site. Great job on the new site and the new server. I had no problem whatsoever finding you guys at FTT. I am looking long and hard at the cigar wrapper packages.:cool:

Thanks for checking in.

This is the traffic since the move...It looks like everyone is reaching the site now. We get very few visitors from South and Central America, China and Russia anyway.

By comparison, this is the number of visitors in the past 2 years. The 81,168 is for the US alone. New Zealand is at 4,085, Great Britain is at 4,423, Canada 8,880, Turkey 2,063 etc.

You need to do something about Greenland, Burma, Borneo, North Korea, Madagascar and Mongolia. It's nice to see that Cuba is on board.
