RG,
no worries man and if you look at my suggest it would allow those long standing vet suppliers,regular suppliers who want to be list A-Z an option to do with or without fee.
i'll check your rewording and thanks ahead of time for the tone down.
Edit: Yes Ty for the tone down. i do understand about the long days we all have them from time to time.
Let me make it clear my earlier post was not about a standing policy only a suggestion for a possible semi solution for each section of suppliers
Vet suppliers who want to could be listed A-Z ahead of the random ones for the section. the same can be said for the other non vets as well. which would separate the Vets from the non vets
Main Home Page
-Sponsoring suppliers break it down do Vets non-vets and new guys
--Vet long standing suppliers A-Z at the top (Vet suppliers section)
-- non Vet suppliers A-Z (regular supplier section)
--New guys A-Z below them in there own section (New supplier section)
Maybe you can see some what what i was suggesting
Yes using search Ie ctrl F is a easy solution for those who know about it but if in the end it don't matter about weather it is A-z or not then why not just do A-Z just to make it seem more orderly,neat and clean if for no other reason. the Vets could be A-z above the non-vets to address your issue of giving them better placement. if this will never change maybe it would be better to come out and point by point explain why it may go a long way towards stopping the request that will never be.
I do agree that maybe A note of some sort to basic area. take Vaporcountry for example maybe on the front page it could be Vapor country -Baltimore,Md basic location members may want to support there local supplier if they have that option.
Hey LM,
What can I say, re-reading my Cntrl+F tute again it did look a bit abrupt. No doubt done after yet another 12-hour day on ECF I guess. I toned it down a bit.
Thanks for the heads-up.
I still think oldest-serving at the top, new guys at the bottom is the best value for members as they can easily see who's been around longest. Despite any rumours to the contrary, we don't just take the money if it suits us

And since:
- It's faster to find the names by Cntrl+F than via alpha list scrolling
- It's much better info for members to see who is long-serving
...I don't see it changing any time soon.
ps ..... I hope this isn't too direct for you
