Bug Fix

Bug report: we’ve discovered a few moments ago that when a new product is added to a store with no “Sections”, and if the product isn’t immediately saved from the Edit Details screen, it becomes invisible & is not shown in the “sell” list.

This bug was inadvertently introduced when Sections were added a few weeks ago. It is going to be fixed ASAP.

Thanks to the seller who reported this problem! Your vocal feedback makes Scubbly’s software better.

As always, when you find something wrong with Scubbly. no matter how crucial or insignificant, report it.

** UPDATE ** the bug has been fixed. thank you for your patience

Search is ON

The search feature is working again. It took about 40 hours, most of which was spent creating a new caching mechanism for repetitive searches, and re-indexing all the products’ names and descriptions.

I didn’t change the algorithm; the results are pretty much the same as before. But now it’s stable, scalable, and much much faster.

Thanks for your patience.

Bug Fix

A reported bug concerning “no payment purchases” has been fixed. A “no payment purchase” is the process when a buyer has an account balance at Scubbly which exceeds the price of the items they are buying. In such a case, Scubbly always uses the buyer’s balance to pay for the item, so no financial transaction through PayPal is needed.

At the end of such a purchase, the product name was omitted from the confirmation email – this was the result of some recent data architecture work which will (soon) allow sellers to describe their products in multiple languages. Though the facility to do this is not yet ready, the underlying data architecture already supports it, and it manifested as a bug in the “no payment purchase” process.

The bug is fixed & all systems at Scubbly are behaving normally again.

The same error was happening temporarily on the home page, where products added in the last 2 days that were featured as “Most Popular” were also missing the product name. This was also quickly fixed.

Please, if you do encounter any problems at Scubbly, report it using our contact form. Your feedback is important!
