I received this e-mail within the past few days. Did anyone else get this? I was surprised there were no comments on the Message Boards.

| Yep, it was a complete surprise. I was concerned about it being a phishing scam, in fact. |

Don,
I had a similar reaction as I was surprised that the e-mail did not come from Rick. I did send an e-mail to support and did get a response back from Dick Crane. I did notice that Rick hasn't posted to these boards in the past 2 weeks. Hope everything is alright with him.

| I recieved nothing about this. Not only is it a surprise that they would send it only to some via email, but it's equally surprising they didn't post it here on the forum...or a blurb on the main site...or something. |

| I'd found about the same. Newly incorporated (March), it could conceivably have been created just for this deal, should it be true. Interesting, to say the least. |

I hope they maintain the excellent support. That is the only reason I am still using Quikstore. There are tons of better and less expensive carts out there, but Quikstore's support is second to none.

Roy, do you host on the i-Soft (ShopingCartServer.com) server? If not, that may be a reason you didn't receive an email. We had to change the credit card billing from i-Soft to QuikStore Ltd for the June billing.
I'm still waiting for the promised details on upgrading to version 3 which was launching this week according to the email. I've been researching other solutions since version 3 was so long overdue. I was hoping to have things settled very shortly. |

| I looked more closely at the email notice I received. I automatically convert messages to text, so I could easily see the link for a gif that was heading the message. The root was http://rgnetworks.co.uk . Visited the site and it looks like QuikStore was rather hastily added to their software products. The more information goes to Quikstore.com's rather outdated pages. |

That's likely the reason. I don't host with QS (I am a host, actually), so there wouldn't have been an immediate need to inform me. I own probably 7 licenses or so at this point, however, so I'm keen to know about v3 as well.  |

| I do not host with them either, but I have done over a dozen quikstore sites. |
