A Couple of Suggestions

[Suzi]

Hi Dave

A couple more suggestions / comments:

1) It would be nice to have a link to the forums after logging in - if there is one, I couldn't see it.

2) Before logging in - 'Features' refers to My Aff Site.

3) The memberships look like a potentially good idea - but as currently structured, if I have 20 shops and join at bronze level, I'm then put off adding an extra shop as it is likely to take some time to build sales, but will immediately force me to upgrade to silver status. The opportunity cost of adding a single extra shop is £20 per month - before it makes a penny!

It would be better if Bronze allowed 'me' to select any 20 shops, no matter how many I have listed. Silver allowed up to 50 shops etc to be selected. Any not selected would remain on the standard commission basis.

I'm not sure how feasible this would be to implement!

Thanks again Suzi, some good points there.

We are woking on producing update v1.7 (with some of your other suggestions included :) ) and so will consider these for v1.8.

[Suzi]

A couple more suggestions:

1) The ability to create a blank, personalised store to use as a template for all new stores. Quite similar to the clone idea - but significantly different. I could do this by creating a store and never making it 'live' - but it seems a waste to have to register a domain, never to use it!!

2) The ability to edit the default store logo text. So that rather than 'xyz-store.co.uk' (or whatever) - it can be edited to 'XYZ Store' or anything else. I know I can and probably should install a custom logo - but it would still be useful to be able to edit the default text.

Thanks

1) Interesting. Yes, quite similar to the clone idea, but i can see the value.

2) This has been mentioned before. We genuinelly didn't think many users would use the default logo, but it seems we were wrong :) . Will add this to v1.8 update.

Yet another:

On price filters, it would be useful if the last/highest 'band' was:

'Over £x' where '£x' is the highest amount from the previous band, rather than the last band having to specify a high figure. Otherwise, I end up using £10,000, even though my highest priced item is maybe only just into 4 figures.

[Suzi]

An 'exact search' words option.

So that a positive word only searches for the exact match.

Otherwise, if I include say, 'red' as a search word - I get thousands of products with 'xxxxxred' in them that I don't want - too many to negative out.

Hi

I have a recently bought domain that I've tried to import - but the system won't let me as it says it is already listed. It is - but not by me!

There needs to be a system for an 'ownership review' to be requested - I could be missing out on fees!!

Thanks

Also:

There is currently no link from the forums to the main site or from the main site to the forums.

and:

I've set up a toolbar link to Store Burst - but so far it just has the default icon - not a SB specific icon. Either it isn't updating - or their isn't a SB shortcut icon.

Some good suggestions there as usual Suzi. :)

They are very much appreciated, and I will assess them when deciding on v1.8 development.

When showing a product and 'alternative products' are also shown - it would be much better if the alternative products weren't just from the same category as the actual product, but also had to be products in my store.

In other words, the alt products are selected from products in my store, not just from any product the retailer sells in a particular category.

Some more help / explanation would also be appreciated:

1 When selecting product and category keywords, how do they interact? Does a product have to satisfy both or will it be added if it satisfies either? I think it's the latter, but please confirm.

2 How do 'favourite products' / best sellers work? I have one shop where the best sellers aren't products I've listed!
