A message that looks like bad HTML programming on Purism Shop

I don’t own a Librem Mini but on the page to consider buying one, there is a message that looks very much like someone tried to comment-out the message with an <!-- HTML comment--> but where the comment is not formatted correctly so the text appears to all shoppers on the page.

Based on my experiences as a customer with other Purism products that say Out of stock, I have a high degree of certainty that if I order this product it will not ship in 10 days.

You are right. That piece of web site content has all kind of brokenness. (The desired text has been HTML-enquoted so that the comment doesn’t work, and the double-dash has been auto-corrected? / converted? into an en dash character, as would also occur in Discourse i.e. this forum.)

And it won’t ship in 10 days because the Librem Mini is “between versions” i.e. going from v2 to v3, as it says immediately above the text that you highlight.

I suspect the “Note…” text is meant to temporarily replace the text in the attempted comment.

It’s my vague memory that HTML sections are not trivial to comment out, so whoever did this has my sympathy.

Thanks for reporting @Dlonk :person_bowing: I’m not sure how that happened, but I’ve raised it internally to get that fixed.
