Once you search for an item, you can then narrow your results down by category. A moment after the search results page loads, you'll notice the “Narrow Your Results” side box appear on the left. This will show you which categories contain items matching your results, and the exact amount of matching items in each category. If you click on any of the “Narrow Your Results” categories, and that category has sub-categories, you'll then be able to narrow your results further by sub-category. 2) New Category Selection Method As StampWants.com continues to grow, more categories and sub-categories are added. As a result when specifying which category to search in, the drop down menu has become a little overwhelming, with around a thousand categories and sub-categories in all! What makes this more complicated is that you can't always see which main category or even main sub-category you are in, making finding specific sub-categories confusing because when listing all the categories and sub-categories in a row, they can't all be in alphabetical order. To address this problem we've replaced the category selection drop down menu with a pop-up box containing a tired category selection, where you first pick your main category, then sub-category and so forth. Making it easy to find the category or sub-category you want. You can select a specific sub-category to search in that sub-category only, or at any time search in the currently selected category and all sub-categories (by clicking the appropriately named button at the bottom of the pop-up box). This should help most people better search on our site, and easily specify the category in which to search in. However, we want to make sure this is accessible to all of our members, including those with older Internet browsers (see our newsletter entry below) or dial-up connections. If you experience any trouble, or have any comments, please join us in the Announcements Forum on StampWants.com for discussion. We're also thinking of changing the way this works to keep the drop down menu, but only show the 15 or so main categories (United States is now a Main Category). And then have an option at the bottom of the drop down menu “More/Sub Categories...”, which when clicked would launch the pop-up box tiered selection. Please feel free to stop by the forums and let us know what you think! 3) FireFox 3 Beta 5 – The Fastest Browser Ever! Fly through the New My StampWants Area At StampWants.com, we recommend that all users use FireFox over Internet Explorer. FireFox is a more accurate, secure and faster browser, even compared to Internet Explorer v7. With the release of FireFox 3 Beta 5 last week, the speed of the browser has doubled! Of course, you'll still be limited by your Internet connection speed, but pages, especially ones which use javascript will load much, much faster than Internet Explorer v6 or v7. We recommend that if you use FireFox, you upgrade to version 3 Beta 5, and if you use Internet Explorer, you give it a try. You can download it from this page: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html In particular the New My StampWants area relies on javascript, so if you use Internet Explorer and the pages seem to load a little slow, we definitely recommend trying FireFox 3 Beta 5. Compared to Internet Explorer v6 the pages should load 4-6 times faster, and compared the Internet Explorer v7 2-3 faster, so it can make a big difference, especially if you have an old computer. 4) Spotlight on StampWants Sellers - MomenStamps   [ Visit This Seller's Store ] $59.99 Store Item momen: US Stamps #828 Mint OG NH XF-S PSE Cert $649.99 Store Item momen US Stamps #226 Mint OG NH PSE Graded VF-80 $299.99 Store Item momen: US Stamps #528B Used PSE Graded XF-SUP 95J $49.99 Store Item momen: US Stamps #282C Used PF Graded VF/XF-85 $424.99 Store Item momen: US Stamps #3-4P4 Plate Proof on Card VF $84.99 Store Item momen: US Stamps #560 Mint OG NH VF $2,249.99 Store Item momen: US Stamps #153 Used GEM PF & PSE Certs $64.99 Store Item momen: Switzerland #286a Mint OG NH VF 5) StampHall Weekly Auction - Closing April 15    StampHall Weekly Auction - Closing April 15 Auctions Start Closing: Apr. 15, 2008 19:30:00 EST StampHall Weekly Auction - Closing April 15   $85.00 3 days, 3h  Lot # 711161 #116 /Used Steamship fancy cancel $21.00 3 days, 3h  Lot # 711222 #227 XF/Used (CV$25) $68.00 3 days, 3h  Lot # 712431 Germany B316-17 FVF/U (CV$138) $9.00 3 days, 3h  Lot # 712476 Germany - Berlin 9N79 VF/U (CV$16) $19.00 3 days, 3h  Lot # 712652 Belgium B495-97 VF/LH (CV$42) $53.00 3 days, 3h  Lot # 713081 Brazil 28 VF/U (CV$90) $39.00 3 days, 3h  Lot # 713352 #534 VF/H (CV$60) block of 4 $70.00 3 days, 3h  Lot # 713421 #656 VF/NH LINE PAIR (CV$110) 6) StampWants Consignments   [ Visit This Seller's Store ] $16.67 Store Item First Day Covers Ray Handpainted # 3208, C W Ray C (25c)c... $12.00 Store Item Massachusetts # Leominster, Ma C Jan 2 CDS w/adjacent gri... $14.67 Store Item Manufacturing # Steel, Defiance, OH C FEB/25/1904 flag cn... $6.67 Store Item # RS28A Paper O sm flts $31.67 Store Item Ceylon # 4a, Yellow Green O Fine, very light barred cnl (... $36.67 Store Item Malta # 5vars, Rough Perf 12.5 (*) VF, unused, 3 shade va... $4.95 Store Item Pitcairn Islands #95-96,118,123-126,151-155 MINT + MORE C... $16.00 Store Item Vermont # Hartford, VT C FEB/7/1880 Purple pmk w/ Star in... 7) Featured Items   [ View All ] $21.50 Store Item #298a-300a Mint Korea Souvenir Sheets CV$52.50 $324.95 19h 57m  #25 MINT, Ave-Fine,OG, HR, minor gum loss Cat$3000 $3.75 21h 49m  Canada #147 (4) MINT, F-VF, OG, NH Cat$36 $99.00 3 days, 17h  CZECHOLSLOVAKIA Occupation , 22 Stamps MOUNTED on page $10.00 2 days, 5h  United States - 3873 - Indian Art - Complete Sheet $205.00 Store Item #434, XF-OG-NH.
