When I'm at one store looking at comics to buy in say left that store on page 4 & click a new store instead of loading page 1 it loads whatever page I was on from the other store. So if I was at pats store looking at comics in left his store on page 4 went to jim store instead of loading on page one it loads on page 4

Actually the bigger problem is if you're on page 70 of titles and you're checking out Spidey listings, when you back out it sends you back to whatever page you started at, meaning I sometimes have to click 3-4 times to get back to page 70. I agree the browsing is faster but there's also more clicks needed.

I just went through Alpha's store to take advantage of the 50% off sale & it was quite a bit of work. Mile High & MyComicShop list titles 50 at a time in simple text, maybe we could implement something like that.

I've been trying to repro this on my computer and haven't been able to. When I am on page 7 in one store and then jump to another store I start at page 7 there too. Then after a certain amount of time of inactivity the cache expires and I go back to page 1 when I jump to another store which is by design. But if I was at page 70 and it takes me back to page 1 after a certain period of inactivity I just plug in 70 into the page input and pick up where I left off. I don't use the browser back button to nav though.

Shop At My Store!

As a senior software engineer myself, these are the kinds of things I tend to make "configurable options". I personally get annoyed that it remembers what page I was on - I suppose I shop differently than others - it's not a MAJOR inconvenience, but one of those things that makes me grumble silently to myself every-time I am on page 10 when I switch to a new title.

I can see it keeping it when you switch stores but are on the same title (ASM as a good example given earler). But if I go from ASM page 20 to Deadpool, it sticks me on the last page. This is so illogical from a usability standpoint, that I am not even sure why it was done.

For example, I went to Treehouse and browsed ASM, and went to page 6. Then I switched over to Spectacular Spider Man and it put me on page 6 there. Why would one want to start in the middle or the end for a totally different book?

Is this something people actually use? If so, can you please explain how this is saving you time (so I can adjust my search/browse patterns)?

Also, pagination - if I enter the page # to go to, it doesn't work. If i click on the page number at the bottom, it doesn't work. So to Crossbow's point - you have to click. and click. and click and clickclickclick to get deep into a list.

The issue browsing/listing is one of the biggest shortcomings of this website/marketplace, imo. Not trying to dig, I just want to see this place improved!

People complained that page numbers weren't saved so I put them in the user cache. Can't have it both ways. I don't think you're trying to dig, that's what pottersan is doing. Thanks for the comments Alarion, works on these pages isn't easy and they aren't simple to change without refactoring the whole thing but suffice it to say that it will get better.

Understandable, and I certainly know what you mean (I just left a job like that, and of course they never let you refactor). If you need to bounce anything off another developer, feel free. I code in .net as well (C# and VB) :)

Maybe you could also store the "last title viewed" in the session and not dump them to the "remembered page" if current title != "last title viewed". just a thought.

"Settle down, Beavis." My comment wasn't personal it was toward the general unhelpfulness of the comments you posted earlier. If you have something constructive to add like the details you just mentioned I'm all ears and very appreciative of it.

Shop At My Store!

I'm curious to know how you guys are doing your buying. I've seen complaints from the beginning. I agreed with the reload issue that was recently resolved, but otherwise I don't get it.

My buying method is completely driven by Wish List. So, if something catches my eye, I click on the store and see what they've got on my Wish List and just cruise through their store that way. It doesn't take me more than five to ten minutes to put in an order of 40-70 books (since I'm usually grabbing $1 issues).

You're still at the base, so when they're talking to you they can see so much more than you. And you might disagree because you're at the base and you don't see $hit." -Greg Capullo

Ah. Yeah, with a wish list of over 1300 items, I don't bother browsing.

I've got a large wish list too. I usually only keep the top 50 to 100 issues I'm looking for on my CCL Wish List. In the early days of CCL stores, I'd start with a store that had something from my CCL list and then use the Publisher sort feature (the one that no longer exists) to quickly scan for other titles I was interested in. Doing that I was usually able to meet free or discounted shipping rates in a reasonable amount of time. When the publisher sort for stores went away
it got a lot more time consuming to shop CCL stores. I've pretty much stopped shopping on CCL because it's just too tedious to go through a store's inventory with the existing search/sort features and I don't have the patience to maintain my CCL wish list.
