Xara Xone locale and currency incorrect (plus a whine about Xara, Magix and branding)

[Egg Bramhill]

If you hit Ctrl+F5 The currency is converted to the correct currency for the url but no visitor would know that of course!

I have to ask, Egg how did you figure this out?

Well... THAT's intuitively obvious! Brilliant UX design...

P.S. Magix take note!

I could say I was thinking outside the box, but that would be total crap!

Then how about telepathy, or some kind of "second sight"?

so you need to force reload of new page content from the server... rather sloppy design ?

This is sloppy from a few perspectives. First - the fact that I'm loading the page from within the US, from an IP address that's well within the Verizon FIOS IP address allocation for US customers, should be sufficient so that the site doesn't override my request for "www.xaraxone.com" and redirect me to "www.xaraxone.com/eu". While a reload of any sort is inefficient, it should at least be loading "www.xaraxone.com/us"...and as you suggest, there are more efficient ways to provide locale appropriate content without forcing a reload. This is more than a bit embarrassing when these issues occur on the home page of site for a company promoting web development software, hosting, cloud services and - tutorials...certainly makes it harder to establish credibility in the space.

Personally, I would say long postings in hard stations (life) and bitter experience (life).

Fool Disclosure: I'm not trying to divert traffic from MAGIX' mostly ignored iteration of Xara Xone over to Priester's and my achieves. If you do a search, your favorite search engine will lead you to Tales from the Archives...verrrrry scary. regardless.

Some of the goodies will return a 404, and it will most likely stay that way, sorry.

These appear to be a locations/links that'venot changed in almost 4 years, so hopefully it will remain accessible.

My Best,
