And in stores that have chosen to have a link to their own, hand-picked & never negative feedback (& why do that unless you're worried about real feedback) people think the made-up feedback is the REAL HC feedback. Several times on other forums, I've seen people mention how all they can find now is that weird cut & paste feedback, & they question whether HC has feedback anymore. A completely new customer wouldn't even know to wonder where it went. I think that's a problem, TBH- I DO love the storetop menus. I just think they're overly unobtrusive to the point of sometimes making shopping more difficult for people instead of facilitating it.

What is an undefined end time for HCM? Right now I just pick a random date a couple years ahead. When you try to remember a store name and type it straight into your browser window, eg. http://hyenacart.com/tryingtoremember a generic HC page not found comes up. It would be great if it could point straight to a search page! Hooray for the new search!

It's women's stuff, whether they want to ever have babies, or if they can't have babies. Every time I see the phrase, or a reference to mama cloth (which I sell) I always think of someone I know of who has tried very hard to have children but has had many heartbreaking setbacks. I don't want her to look at something like this and feel hurt or excluded. And, well, they are still full-on women whether they have babies or not, and most of this stuff is for them just as much as anyone else. Thanks for considering this, and thanks for all you do!

It took me a few tries to get used to them, but I am really liking it now. I am currently listed in the "Little of Everything" Category. I sell recycled wool diaper covers and other recycled wool accessories. I also sell Mei Tais. I am not sure what category the other recycled and interlock wool makers use. I don't fit in the diapers or knit categories. I would need a different category. Are there enough recycled wooly makers yet to have our own category? I also think it would be great to be able to select more than one category for a store. For example, a store like BabyGO! sells Mei Tais, but also sells great bags for mom, bibs for baby, running skirts for mom. So that shop could show up when a shopper selects categories Carriers, Mama Items, Clothing, or Accessories. It would help stores to have more hits, help shoppers by not excluding stores which could have the item they want, and it would cut down on the number of stores lumped into the "little of everything" category.

Also, I would still love to be listed under more than one category. I really think that would broaden my base of customers as I offer mama items such as nursing covers, but children accessories as well. I think that would put this all over the top for me. I'm so pleased with all of the improvements you've been doing around here. Your hard work is really showing!!!! Thank you!! I love the new search, it’s amazing, thank you!

I mainly offer interlock wool items and while I am currently under the cloth diaper category, it would be nice to either be under a wool diaper cover category or something like that. I don't exactly fall under the clothing category nor the knitted items so the diaper category is the only possibility. LMK if I can make any of that more clear. Thanks!
