Hide items I own keeps getting switched off in sales

I've seen this happening a lot recently. If I click on an item in the sale to look at it, then use the back button in my browser the Hide items I own box keeps getting switched off. I think it only happens if I select the Only show wishlist option and then switch it off again. If I do that once then the hide items buttion gets switched off every time. I've been getting round this by opening items in new tabs instead of just clicking on them.

Is anyone else seeing this or is it some oddity on my computer? I'm using Chrome on Windows 10.

    Off or on? If I uncheck the box, so I do see the items I already own, then the effect can be lost even while the box is apparently unchecked - I've not seen the reverse, however.

    It is being switch off, it's not just being displayed wrongly. I've seen the number of pages in the sale increase when it happens. Ticking the box switches it back on but it also sends me back to the first page.

    So, what I've observed is if you uncheck 'hide items I own', the 'show only owned' box doesn't automatically get checked.  There are reasons you may want to see both, but I've ended up buying at least one product twice because I 'missed' that I had bought it already, via some clicking routine.  The other store automatically 'greys' out the 'buy' option, replacing that button with a 'purchased' button, but that's not the case in the Daz store.

    Also, I've noted that sometimes items can remain on your wishlist after you've purchased them, and that if you check 'show only wishlist' items that 'hide items I own' gets unchecked as noted above.  That's how I ended up buying something twice at one point.

    So I'm more careful now to make sure that I don't have stuff in my cart that I've bought already.  Hopefully the new store software addresses this issue.  There might be very specific scenarios where someone might want to buy a product twice, but those are rare enough that at the very least a 'are you sure you want to buy this again?' popup menu should come up when you do this, to make sure you didn't do it accidentally...

    Edit:I explained it backwards, so I fixed the first paragraph, and added the bit about the wishlist but it looks like some other people knew what I meant I think...

    Sounds like you are using the daz Deals plug-in, that obviously introduces additional potential for conflicts - but the developers are very active so try posting in their thread on the plug-in.

    Yes, I am using that plugin. I'll have to try and setup an installation on another computer without it for comparison testing. My laptop should be able to do that, when I get around to it.

    You should be able to launch your browser in safe mode, without any plug-ins active, and then go straight to Daz and look at your wishlist (don't use it like that for general browsing, assuming you  have security plug-ins).

    Thank you for the suggestion. With all plugins disabled I don't have the Only Show Wishlist button so this must be created by the plugin. I've had it installed so long I didn't remember what the store looks like without it. That shows that is is the plugin that is causing this oddity. It's not a problem since I have a workaround.

    Chrome browser on Windows 7 here and I have the plugin too. Yesterday I had similar issues with things not showing up as owned on the sale pages, was a good thing I checked in DIM to see what G8 stuff I hadn't installed yet or I'd have been buying alot of the same stuff twice. Guess maybe I'd better turn off that plugin when browsing today's sale. 

    On the plus side, I was delighted at all my "new" toys I'd bought and forgotten about. So more money saved for next sale. blush
