Will do - we're just working out the structure for the new categories.

Also I am also changing my business name................I presume I can tell you so you can delete that and I can add my new one

Do you mean your user name here? If so, that can be changed on request - just let us know via PM. If you mean in the Business Directory, you have full editing rights on your listings.

Emma,
In the directory, can we change the Facilitation & Life Coaching to Facilitation & Coaching (ie drop the word life). Partly because not all coaches are life coaches, but all life coaches are coaches! And partly because there seem ot be a lot of folks who would run a mile from that label!!

[Mark]

Fair one.

We are allowed to enter 1,000 characters for each entry. So why do only a few characters show in the actual directory, and those do not retain the formatting in the main advert - for instance, "" become words like quote?

Also, how does anyone look at the full listing - I have clicked all around my own and Caroline's listing but I can't see the full 1,000 characters anywhere

[Mark]

I think what you're looking at is the summary, which is up to 255 characters I think - have you clicked the link to the actual listing?

[Ray Stewart]

where is the link to the full listing??

and... can you correct the "trade secrets" in the preview?? please!!

[Mark]

Just click on the link and you get a drop-down with options.

I've upped the amount of text slightly to 1250. The &quot phenomenon is due to using "quotes" - for some reason it doesn't like them. Just use '' - two apostrophies instead of a quotation mark.

[Ray Stewart]

Thanks Mark. the wording is a bit obscure though... view link details - it could be a little clearer like - view full advert - or something.

I changed the " to '' and it works - weird eh?

[Mark]

Good suggestion - I've changed it to "View Full Listing"

Thanks for your patience, Patricia. An Electrical section has now been added to the directory.

[brunswickheights]

Thanks,but I'm told it should be plumbing as the heat is generated by solar power to heat the water.

[Emma]

Plumbing's there too.

[Mark]

Any more suggestions?

[Mark]

Updated.

Could you squeeze in a Domain Registration bit under IT? And / or, or maybe combined with SSL Certificates? This is what I sell but could also benefit any web hosts who also offer these products on top of hosting?

Ppplease?!

[Emma]

All done. Mark thought it better under 'Internet Services' is that ok?
