Please also ditch the front screen!
It is v.annoying to be presented with 'click to enter the site' when 
I have already typed the url (ok, chosen it from my favourites) so 
obviously I _do_ want to enter the site!
Put the stuff about the premier UK site on the main page or 
something, not as a separate thing you have to click through.
Okay, so I could bookmark the site after I click thru, but it is 
still an annoyance.....

I think sorting by subject or user sortable is best.
Sometimes a user (especially a new user) will want to just browse 
the site for 'interesting' things.  Sorting by date would _not_ 
facilitate this.

Also, the 'misc' section is far too big - eg, how do I know what an 
Audiotron is just from the name of it?
I might have bought one sooner if I'd happened to read that review!

I know it's difficult to classify some items, and indeed some may 
require serveral classifications - is a nokia 9000 a phone or a pda?
Should an AudioTron be lumped in the same category as the Audio 
ReQuest jukebox? etc etc.

A suitably worded search _might_ turn up what you're after, but if 
you are browsing, you don't necessarily _know_ what you're looking 
for........

just my 2p worth.  Definitely ditch the misc categorory if nothing
else!
