morning ...

So there seems to be a very popular directory script doing the rounds for quite some time now.. that gives you the Category selection as a drop down box.... within that box it does this kind of thing ..

...Am I the only one that is put off submitting to these directories due to the hardship of finding the correct category? Be nice to be able to hit the letter on the keyboard and be brought to it.. like a drop down box should.... but nope... so you have to try and get your eyes working whilst your scroll through the options...

We need a directory revolation

Any Directory scripts including “popular directory script” have one inherited flaws - you must follow submissions rules. If instead of going directly to “Submit Form”, you went to Directory > Category > Sub-Category related to your subject then you would have that Category printed for you in submission form and all you have to do at this point is to complete the rest.

I've only submit to a couple of directories in my life and that seemed pretty obvious. I dind't even know about that drop down.

Drop downs let you start typing and they'll auto find, but that's left to right.

The drop down is easy enough to navigate, though. You have to use the mouse, but the tree like representation make it easy to see where you are. Anyway, tho, I don't think either of us will cause a revolution among directories that already exist. Consider dealing with the drop down the 2 minute price of a link. If you have to do it anyway, might as well look for the silver lining.

Or take the Fast Replies approach.
