Technical Difficulties

It seems our little problem has been resolved. Thanks for your patience.

We're having a few problems with the site and feel it's reasonable to explain exactly what the problems are and why they're happening.

In the simplest terms possible (hopefully it'll be clearer than mud) I'll try to explain.

The Liberated is a shop that promotes products from Cafepress (the printing company) shopkeepers. Because of this, the product pages on the website are not hosted directly on the liberated.kippygo.com domain. These pages are pulled from the Cafepress website.

Last night the Cafepress team made some updates on their own website which have caused a minor glitch on the websites of people who host their own websites selling Cafepress products.

This glitch simply means that the product image will not appear on an individual product page. For instance, let's say you're browsing the anti-Bush section of the shop and from there click on the icon to browse "Stop Mad Cowboy" products. You decide you want to purchase or have a closer look at "the Stop Mad Cowboy Disease Anti- Value T-shirt." The page with the individual product, in this instance the one I just listed, will be missing its picture.

Normally there would be a close-up image of the product with the design on it, but as a result of upgrades to the system these images are no longer appearing.

Also you may notice that the graphics are loading incorrectly (i.e. they look out of place, incorrect, or just "not right"). This is also a result of the upgrades, but does not affect your browsing experience in any way other than aesthetically.

This does not affect your ability to add items to your cart and make purchases or to otherwise browse the store.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will keep you updated on fixes to the problem.
