Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Its kind of crazy really, I made the original version in a weekend or so just have an excuse to do some web development, it pretty awesome that people still use it 6 years later!
What is possibly more weird about it is the code for stock checking has not changed for the 6 years (well i moved from PHP to Node 2 years ago, but its still the same parsing logic), which says a lot about the amount the argos website has changed in that time!
Yeah I was just thinking the same myself.....:rolleyes:;););)
I haven't a clue what any of that means - but thanks!

Basically when you check stock on checkargos, it loads the same Argos page that you would load if you checked the stock on argos.ie and reads the stock level from that page. It does that for every store that you have selected.
I have not needed to change the above in 6 years, which means that page on Argos has not changed, significantly at least, in 6 years. For a website to have not changed in 6 years is pretty much insane!0 -

You should head over to rte.ie if you want to see a website that hasn't changed. There's posts in the news/about us sections that are from 2010.0 -

Got mine in Crescent SC this morning. I got the text at 11.05, dropped everything, turned off phone so i couldn't get a call and went to collect.
Was told price was €169.99. Very politely mentioned I reserved it at a lower price and showed her the email - lady checked and said there was a NOTE to say do not sell at this price as it was an error. She asked did I not get the call, I said no and I'm after driving for 45 mins after getting the text. She said that they weren't allowed override the price in-store, but she talked to the manager, who eventually did come out and sold to me but only after stressing that this was most unusual and i was a very lucky ablelocks. Both staff very nice and professional....but it does look like there are new protocols for dealing with errors if the customer service head office have to be consulted...(I overheard the call..)
I still have to go in tomorrow to get the ninjago one though...

Reserved an item on Tuesday
Picked it up on Wednesday, but had to pay at a higher price as the item had increased. Argued about it for a few mins to no avail. It was minimal increase, but more the principal.
It will put me off reserving items as have to travel to collect these and feel they are not honouring their reserve price when ordered.
Taking this further, I returned an item i previously bought and was refunded the amount i paid. This item had also increased in price on the day i returned it. Using the same principal, Argos could refund me the higher amount 0 -

You argued about a minimal increase ? Argos 99.99% honour the price on the reservation email - but they don't have to , and if its a minimal difference I am not sure what the complaint is other that tough luck ?
Your second point makes no logical sense at all, it is not the same principal - in the first case they had offered something you could, but had not yet purchases. In the other they returned in full the money you pad when you purchased something - you really really think the follow on from one stance is they should refund you more than you paid ?0 -
