Looking for testers

Can you tell me a decent place to find people to do system testing for me? I am trying to get a system debugged and recommendations made, but not sure where to look or if there are people that are willing to do this for people.

Thanks

I figure as much. This forum is awesome, the poeple have always been great, and the help has been indespendable!

If you are able to test out a script please either post here or hit me up on the IMs below.

Thanks all!

I wrote a script and integrated onto a site, and now need people to surf to the site and test out the usability of the system, make notes and recommendations and send em over to me.

http://www.webautopro.com

No log in necessary as it is the front of the site. Back end I have a couple items to deal with before testing.

Thanks

I recommend you run through your pages in Firefox, you have some serious issues.

hint, contact form

Is there anyone else that would be able to test out the front end and to give me their thoughts on the system?

When I get done with one section of the backend I would also like to get some thoughts on that as well.

Thanks all.....

It's a bit hard to get to the information.

I do a vehicle search and am presented with 5 combo boxes of which only the top one can be used. It doesn't matter if I select new of used I get presented with exactly the same options in the vehicle type combo but the page has to reload. It would be nicer if the options where allready in the vehicle type combo so the page didn't need to reload which can be a pain for people on slow connections.

Also a small minor problem,
Go to vehicle search, select new or used.
Now use the browsers back button. There a couple of problems now.
1. If I select the --select-- option I get a 404
2. If I try and select the option that I selected to start with before pressing back it does nothing.

hmm, you should check the form data sent via the contact us form, I accidently clicked the form submit button, and the email seemed to get send, without any submitted data, everything was empty.

Check if the message, name and email is empty or something, and print an error if they are, just a tip ;)

edit: also, the footer on the site is different in some of the pages....
