Hi Shep

Noone is going to go all the way to the bottom of a product page, select an option and look back up at the top to see if the price changed
That's why the updater display can be duplicated at the bottom of the product page and there is a sidebox that can be positioned anywhere in the side columns

All they have to do is look at the options/attributes and it is quite obvious what the total price is. They click and are on to more shopping or checkout
The Updater is there to alleviate this need... Imagine a product with 12 attributes (I've seen this on a PC configurator) and the customer having to find a calculator (I know, Windows has one... Do general computer users?) then having to go through each attribute to add up the total... That also adds an error situation, e.g. catching the wrong key on the calculator

Also if I were to add up the price myself I would have to scroll all the way up the page to find the original price then back down to read the attributes

IMHO you are trying to make it too hard for the average person to use a site
Nope, you've lost me there

I found a programmer that solved the problem in about 10 minutes
That's from your first post... If you're not using the Updater what problem was fixed?

You don't need an "updater"
While it isn't my place to disagree, the download statistics and posts in this thread wouldn't appear to support that

I've never tried to foist the Updater onto anyone or advertised it as a 'must have'; I was asked to write it twice then decided to release it to see if it could benefit anyone else... The response surprised me (and still does)

I realise you are only expressing your opinions but in this case wouldn't it be easier to just not use it?
