Out of curiosity, do you have any stats on user's preferred search mode? In other words, how do the different search options (Component Name, Quick Search, Standard Search, Visual Search, or Brand Directory) rank in overall usage?

Stan, unfortunately I don't track that information. I can see the paths that users take over the last 500 page clicks through my StatCounter log. From what I've seen there "google" seems to be the most popular.
On a side note, I've never been happy with Visual Search and will eventually be scrapped and replaced. It is of course possible to see the results of any search as a Visual List with the picture thumbnails by switching modes from the search result list.
I'm also thinking of trying to figure out a way to save searches. One of a many features I hope to one day add, but like the "Watch List" wonder how many will utilize it (I admit that even I don't use that feature that much, I think I have the same 5 items in my watch list that I put in during the first month that the site was online.

I have some catalogs that aren't on Velobase-- how would I go about making them available for scans (or. alternatively, sending you scans)?
If you can scan them yourself that would be most helpful. I do have a scanner, but it's not all that big and I'm about 20 hrs from closing on a new house purchase so needless to say I am going to be rather busy for the next couple of months. PM me for an email address you can send any scans you do and want posted, my VeloBase.com address doesn't have all that much storage space for a lot of large attachements being sent.
I've discovered that I never deployed the code that would randomly assign a color scheme other than KOF Blue to visitors unless they specifically set it. That will be pushed soon, so don't be surprised if the next time you visit the page is a different color!
