Hi,

* I'll definitely work on that category filter. I think you are correct, as it stands now it's too confusing to understand what is going on.

* 1.)I'm not sure what you mean about it collapsing into a single-line breadcrumb. Either way I think I might have a solution for this filter. How about if I seperate Vintage and Handmade into two separate columns and then you can clearly see that's it's "Vintage" or "Handmade". 2.) Counters, duh. I'm an idiot! I'll add that asap. Memcache for the win. 3.) Yes. I'll change the wording at the top of the filter too. "You are currently browsing...." sounds, well, uh, dumb. "Items for Sale in [Category Name]" I think is much much better.

*AHHH. The money. Yes. I should make that more clear on the "About Us" page. However as you probably guessed we make money off the banner advertising, I know, it's going to be a long hard slog to the top of this one! :)

Thanks again for your input. I really value your opinions and for the most part I'll be implementing all of them. You can almost guarantee they'll be done by this evening.

Thanks again!

I just meant exactly what you're doing, but without the extra parent categories so that once you get down to a "leaf" category it only shows one line: "Parent > Child > Grandchild". Sounds like your other idea will essentially accomplish the same thing.

Oops, that's what I get for browsing with AdBlock all the time; forgot I even had it on. :)

Thanks Mattw for the clarification!
