Thank you Doc. It is shaping up just fine and soon the first newsletter will go out. It'll provide info on what's happening, what new is in the works and to "showcase" a member or two. Content is what the site needs and soon I'll be sending out a letter to "drive" for it.

I'll be working on the feedback management next and will have it finished in a week or two. Specifically, we already have a full feedback system but only for the auctions side of the site. Not for classifieds. There, we only have voting system and it refers to listings, not members. The...

In an effort to better serve our members and visitors, we are pleased to introduce a new site name, domain name and logo. Over the past few months, it became increasingly apparent that this change was necessary to allow us to implement new marketing strategies and advertising themes, as well as...

b17m4p, I believe it'd be possible to implement "suggestive' search or search "assist" as it is called once the database gets bigger. I think this feature draws info from internal database but am not sure. I'll look into it. Have seen it and I agree with you, it'd be nice to have it. To...

nor_spoon, no need to apologize. Glad you saw it... Yes, and it would be consistent with Cables in main category. My bad. Fixed. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it.

Thank you, appreciate it. It's been a long time coming but it is now all finished and live

Greetings, With the increasing number of visits and registrations HiFi Hock has been receiving, some excellent suggestions on how to improve the interface came in as well. One common sentiment seems to be that pages were little too busy with too many features. All in all, the site was in need...

Thank you! Appreciate it. As for the cat menu, I'd like to wait a while. I agree with you and see how it could be better but would like to wait for more feedback on it as well as on site in general. Thanks for noticing the bad link, it's been fixed this morning and now takes you to proper...

Yes, Srajan has been very easy to work with and very helpful. Completely unsolicited and on his own, he made a small mention of my site few months ago which generated huge numbers for me. The v2 is now up, please let me know what you think. Tomorrow night I'll be back here to make an...

Bostonears, great question. This is what I have done so far: Head-Fi, running a thread and depending on the response I may grow it into a full ad. So far, it is generating visitors and I'll stick with it. CAM, you'll see mention of the site in few threads with me watching them very close...

kg21, thank you! I didn't have the headphones category initially but good folks on this site commented and suggested I create one. So I did! It was a big oversight on my part and hopefully forgivness will be granted :-) There have been few other good suggestions offered and I ended up...

Done! It is now a blank input field. I'll have other category-specific questions done as well in the next week or so. There are three levels of search on the site: One on the home page allows to specify category to search within as well as to make a choice to search the description field or...

It's done! Take a look at it and let me know your thoughts. Test it as I described in my previous post. Go to search page, select cable category, check the bottom of the page.. Please let me know if I missed something, cable connectors or whatever. I can make correction.

XXII, I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised to learn that there is a feature like you're describing already. All I have to do is develop a few cable-specific (for example) pre-valued dropdowns and that'll be it. If you go to the site and click on Search in the menu bar, the Search...

XXII, Thank you, appreciate it very much!. I can do something like that, no problem at all. As long as you everybody agrees that main categories are in place and covering all products (I know I can do little better and I will in the near future - like: audio furniture etc), I can create as...

OK kids, headphones category has been created. It has been added as a main category and within it you can find subs for headphones, amps, cables and accessories. Sorry I didn't wait for your comments, I was too anxious to redeem myself :-) Please let me know your thoughts.

..me again... Xert and Stevesebastianb, I'd like your opinion on this - I can place a subcategory for headphones in Loudspeakers as parent category. Would this be sufficient or would you like to see headphones as one of main categories? I owned them and appreciate them too much to put them...

Xert, my bad, one will be created over the weekend as well a sub for headphone amps. My apologies for not being mindful...and I thank you for bringing it to my attention. Grawk, HiFi Hock is designed as an alternative, whether it's better then the rest, time will tell. It's a new site, I went...
