Chiming in on the subject:
 
I know Shaun just told us that we have some better options to organize OUR stores (haven't tried it yet) and that is all well and good.  But customers are shopping the SITE.  I know it is a much bigger job to get this "shopping tool" going, but I think that were that to happen (wish list: sooner than later) that organizing OUR stores would be able to "fall in line" with that.  
 
As it is now with SOOOOO many categories, changing everyday, added to everyday, much of our own organization efforts (despite new tools there) it is still a bit of a cr_p shot.  We're not even sure what we are organizing for Huh or what criteria we're going by.  
 
I also think there should be some way to "mix-up" the viewing of card images (on the overall site sections)  A "random" choice over "most popular" would be more effective.  Shoppers are supposedly given a CHOICE of thousands of cards.  They are not being able to see those choices:  Most popular brings up the tried and true, most recent may have one wading through many similar images.  And categories and keywords are not always compatible from what I've seen.  A card may have all the keywords to show up somewhere but if it was one not allowed to be profiled it get pushed further back.  And I agree: 2 or 3 pages on dial-up, maybe 4 or 5 pages on fast internet is the max the average shopper has patience for.
 
Know you all at "head quarters" are terribly busy with pricing changes, printers, listening to out major and minor concerns  Shocked  . . . an overwhelming task.
 
Thanks for listening.

First, thanks for cheering me up with the e-mail Smiley. I needed that  Smiley. Made me feel better  Smiley. Second, er asking really, how meny cards to you have in your store? I've got 40 or so cards in my store so I can't say I have tons of cards to rearrange, though, I do try to put the ones up closer to the top that fit for an up coming holiday. I was crying half the morning over my dead cat, bad of me, I know. I'm going to try to get my butt back in my artist chair and start drawing again. Keeping the mind busy helps Wink. Yup, they are making a lot of changes and I didn't realize some things like ( R ) thingy which is not a rating thing, LOL. Soooo. I messed up there on two cards and have hopefully fixed that Wink.You could say they're under construction. So far so good.

Yes, the random card thingy is good up to a point and the top selling cards get more traffic and others not, I think they are trying to fix that. I hope so. I know that they are working hard to upgrade this GCU site and it's getting better all the time. I'm doing the wait and see thing mostly while they are making tons of changes nowRoll Eyes Wink Smiley.
