That's a totally different topic. Where in your message did you mention anything like this, and what made you think that is what I was responding to? I was responding to your statement: "There shouldn't be 3 different checkout flows." That seemed to be the main theme of your message. As for burying the links, I agree. It's pretty lame and bad design and really annoying. Chances are somebody with little experience made this change to the mini cart and nobody really cared to review it or do anything about it. Now we have complaints, but will anyone do anything about it... -David > How is anyone going to even know it exists?
