Thanks a lot photon_off, it is hard to take criticism on something that you worked hard on, but it is necessary. It is better to get told your site needs improvement rather than be oblivious. Really appreciate your time. PS the sorting tabs are not broken, they just depend on having users online using the site, which like you said is confusing if your site is a ghost town lol. Thanks again.

Believe me, I know how it feels. I think the most common thing you might hear is that people just "don't get it". You have to understand that people visiting your site have zero vision of what it is supposed to do, and how they can use it. They haven't spent x hours a day for the past y days with this idea stuck in their head, nor have they loaded the page 10,000+ times. The problem is, it's kind of hard to erase your current perspective and take a fresh look at something. Impossible, really.

Yeah it really is, but a lot of people have given me some good feedback, so at least I have a place to start. Thanks for the reassurance photon, its good to hear from someone who has experience with the same process.
