Jake - this is great news, but can I suggest something that may up it even more?
I think to casual viewers, it's not always obvious that there are
sub-categories. The list on the right-hand-side isn't particularly
prominent, particularly if your browser isn't full-screen. This seems to be
borne out by the huge numbers of hits for models in the core categories,
compared to those in sub-categories.
I have a couple of ideas - one is to list sub-categories, each with their
number of models and number of sub-categories, above or below the list of
models at that point in the tree. Or, move the sub-category list to the
left - a more natural reading position.
The other is to list sub-categories of the current node in a quick-access
drop-down-box somewhere around the end of the line that says where you are
in the tree. Basically, to turn this row into a more prominent navigation
tool, rather than just a BACK facility.
Just a thought. Great work.
