Suggestion for site

Hello, I was going through the "Alphabetized List of POI Files" and I was thinking how much easier it would be if you had the list separated with a small space with the corresponding letter for each "section" ; to better show the separation of the "A's" from the "B's".

Also at the top of the page you can have all the letters of the list as a link to the corresponding section you want to go to.

For example if I'm looking for the Target POI file from that list I could click the "T" at the top of the page and it would bring me to the start of the "T's" in the list. Once at the "T" section you might want a link there that would bring me back to the top of the page again.

It's an awfully long list to have to scroll through and it might clean it up and make it more user friendly. What do you think?

Iceman,

When you're in the Poi listings section just click on the "Search" button. Type in "Target" and all the Target related POI's will pop up for you.

Cheers wink

Thank you for the info but

Thank you for the info but yes I know that. Just thought my suggestion could be add to the search for those that just want to "browse" the list and be able to quickly go from one place to another. A small separation between the letters would make it look neater too. Just my opinion.

Take a peek at the above link iceman. Many of the suggestions are something that could and would make this file much more navigable.

Also Miss Poi, my offer to help better alphabetize this file still stands as it appears you have many more pending projects/site upgrades and just don't have the time in the foreseeable future to accomplish this from your end. Let me know if you'd like my assistance.

Happy New Year to one and all.

I'm just wondering if you ever got it, or are you on Christmas Holiday? smile

How much work it would be to re-alphabetize the main POI list, after all, this is the "main" reference listing of all the poi files at the POI Factory and I would have thought this would be a vital and very important part of finding what folks come here looking for. If just renaming the files that are out of order and then doing a resort is not how this is done, skip this post and ignore it. If that is what needs to be done, I'm offering to "git er dun" once again Miss Poi. What say you?
