    The uk version seems to be running well, although I seem to have cocked up upgrading andhad to run a fresh install, so not yet formatted the includes etc to my pretty colors!

    Any how I will be setting up 5 bookstores, and my friend will also be setting up 5 - everyone should have a store to compliment thier sites!!! imo. Go noppid!! thx!!

    I'm going to try to find the time to set this up properly and customize/tweak it this weekend... one thing (may already be answered in your forum, noppid) I'd want to do is organize the list by author rather than by title... I assume this wouldn't be difficult.

    I'm almost certain without looking that is a query mod.

    I do have logic in there to sort books without the begining "a" and "the" included.

    For the author, I'm sure we could make a mod though. You mean the display when a book letter index is clicked, right?

    Its nothing to do with your upgrade or instructions, just an error by me! - I 've been burning the midnight Oil, learning how to use CSS for a new site!

    Midnight Oil... that was a weird band... one half-decent hit and poof! gone... I always thought it was because the lead singer (1) couldn't sing, (2) couldn't dance (just sort of jumped around spazzing), and (3) just didn't fit the shaved-dome-black-bluesman mold quite right.

    Compared to other server side installs I have tried this is wonderful. 14 loaded and then I fell into the PR thread :(

    Back to work now.

    After all, I didn't get a chance to play with my installation any further, although I did do some reading at noppid's forum...

    I still owe you a translation, too, noppid...

    I'll probably be back to work tomorrow evening starting to catalog the phrases into a new file that makes um variables. Then I'll make it a conditional, cut and paste it six times, and turn those of you that can help loose on it.

    Appreciate the help minstrel.
