Some of the "buttons" (not sure if they are?) on the home page under "Make your phone private today!" do not work for me.

Conferencing, Messaging, and Voicemail do nothing when clicked. Safari & OSX 10.13.1

Hey notheguyyouthink, those are just "tabbed" buttons to show you the features. Purely aesthetic and just a button for "sign up".

It's a cool product. And props for making it happen.

I would second the parent comment though in thinking you might be able to improve the user experience if everything that seems clickable actually is. It might take a little css tweaking only.

Regardless, this seems technically quite impressive.

Thank you sopooneo, I'll see what I can do to make those look not so clickable! Though actually clicking them.. should take you to the registration page. Some browsers .. it works, some it doesn't.. I've seen that!

For me only forwarding and recording option renders an actual anchor that is clickable: https://pastebin.com/fk4dtjfx

This would explain why some are clickable and some are not.

All fixed, thank you guys!

Shouldn't they do something though? 2 of the 5 buttons work, they take me to signup. 3 of the 5 do nothing, they do not take me to signup.

Am I misunderstanding you? Seems like a strange aesthetic choice, almost like the real buttons (ie Recording and Forwarding) are hidden next to the fake buttons haha.

I will look into fixing this! They all should be taking you to registration! There's nothing additional about what they do, as everything is spoken about on the FAQ or TidBits pages. Thank you for pointing it out!

I also agree with the parent, it's also a bit weird that only 'forwarding' and 'recording' takes you to the registration page :)

Agreed! :)
