I look forward to using all the added features on the site and it looks great.
Two small design things I'd like to comment on. When having a long list of titles appear it might help if the page numbers at the top also appeared at the bottom of the list. Saves having to scroll back up to the top of the list to hit next page. A small thing but if you're going through a lot of pages it makes the search simpler.
In addition I'd like to suggest a change to the method of indicating what page you're on in a long list. At present the page number you're viewing changes to a slightly darker gray. Perhaps underscore the present page or put a cursor box around it to make it stand out even more.
Keep up the great work

Sorry one more thing I noticed after completing my library. It sorts itself alphabetically by title within each series. Could we have an option to have it sort numerically by book number within each series?

The new website has visual appeal and seems user friendly.
What a delightful surprise! I'm sure you'll get some tips for
minor improvements, but it seems that they would have to be
minor1 Congratulations! sc

I would have to agree with the previous posters, but also add some wanted points:
*Ability to sort wishlist/library by number, series, alphabetically, most wanted etc, and with a cover thumbnail next to each picture.
*Ability to mark books for wishlist/library by moving your cursor over them in the shop, prompting a java-box with choices (like amazon.com).
*Possibility to rate/review books, at least a simple one to five-star system? (Of course, this could also be done in the forum?)
And as mentioned: the old "coming books" section revived in the new design as a separate page.
Otherwise: great work so far, good luck with the teething problems!

I love the new website; especially the forum and the "My Osprey" section. I also agree with what OJM said and perhaps also sort the My Library by time period/conflict in addition to by series, book #, alphabetical order, etc. A little section where visitors can review the books like on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.com would be nice as well

Not convinced at this stage. Have been trying to subscribe to the Silver membership but the credit card handling logic seems to be flawed. It has rejected both of my cards thus far and I know they are fine.
Additonally, when you try to submit feedback about the order, then it requires a valid order number - bit difficult when you can't place the order in the 1st place due to above error. there is also no word-wrap in the description box., so anything you enter just goes off of the screen!
have not yet found a way to browse ALL upcoming titles. Only seems to show 3. I would like to be able to see all upcoming titles for the next 4-6 months.

Question, does the Security Code for Credit Card, require the FULL number from the back or just the last 3 digits, which most people require?
Also, just received this error, when trying to post a response:
Server Error in '/' Application.

Hi Andy Pandy, thanks for the information regarding the error, this has now been fixed. Regarding your card details you only need to supply the last 3 digits on the back of the card. Thanks.
