Re: Store Enhancement - Sort Panels by $/W
tom, i should invite you to our meetings! the people behind the website feel your pain, but . . . honestly the truth is that what is in OUR stock is not the problem. The issue comes with keeping track on the fluctuating stock of about a dozen other distributors. It is a ton of work to do this, and sends us into to a tail chasing frenzy of changing in and out of stock on the website. because of this, it has been our policy to keep things we carry on the website, because even we don't know if we can or cant find them sometimes.
It is one of my pet projects to identify the more scarce, or more likely to be scarce modules on the site as something that can be clicked on or off easily. Let me know if you think this is helpful. We don't want folks to not order a module because it says scarce because we may have it in stock, but it is not that common or has been discontinued.
I appreciate the suggestion, and we are working on improving all the time, and we fight about this one a lot, so I hear where you are coming from. let me know if you think the scarce module idea would help.
and thanks for the continuing participation on the forum with useful, knowledgable answers.
