Help needed-- new feature on the CSBR needs testing

Hiya folks,

As those following bike theft may know, one of the primary barriers to getting people's stolen bikes back to them has proven to be lack of proof of ownership, and lack of a recorded serial number.

The Chicago Stolen Bike Registry is exploring a partnership with Bike Revolution, a recent project of Kryptonite, to feature a registration option on our site (thanks to Kevin C for all his work on this to date.)  The primary benefit is a nice certificate that is e-mailed to you in .pdf form immediately with a picture of your bike and all the basic info you provide.

 

Before we go live with it we'd like to make sure the kinks are worked out; please give it a whirl here:

http://chicago.stolenbike.org/node/190867/

 

In the first screen you will create an account, and immediately you will be brought to a screen to enter your bike's info. When you press "submit" your certificate will be e-mailed to you. 

 

Please offer up any feedback or reactions or questions here. In the event of technical problems please be sure to provide your OS and browser.

Thanks!

Howard K

Great work here, but I def have some questions and suggestions.

 

1) Having the bike revolution as a hyper link confuses users.  Should they register at that link or on the right? It is good that when you are done registering it has a link if you want to register additional bikes.

2) What does it mean you are partnering? What benefit do user get?  If getting an email pdf is all, tell people. Does the list go to CPD? Is it easier when you bike stolen since the info is already on stolen bike.org?

3)  Do people have to give their mailing address?

2) They don't have my frame size (they stop converting from inch to cm at 49)

3) The purchase date should have the words "Year", "Month" and "Day" below the drop down menus.

I would be curious to know what kind of interest there may be in these Pulse ID tags. If there's sufficient demand, I can work on a volume discount from Kryptonite.

Osrry about the question about the link. I understand now.

Kevin, I think there would be a decent demand for it. I have had friends previously intrested in something like this
