Just as a head's up!

Mikey just made some changes that will affect the way some users see 
things @ *bookmanager.com*.

We have now restricted certain "browse" / search filters and "sort by" 
defaults/./

Our intention with cutting off/restricting certain things, is that it 
will (hopefully) encourage people to pay the hundreds of dollars more 
for TitleLinlk - and of course they get even more benefits (and a 
discount) if they send sales and onhands/orders.

These changes are a small step towards our distant goal of figuring out 
a way to have subscriptions based on a usage rate, and not just a flat 
fee...

We needed to strip down some of the benefits we have been giving away to 
all the logins for years, and now essentially, the more you buy and 
participate, the more you get.

_*Someone NOT logged in, aka, someone with NO ps/tl subscriptions*_  - 
only get the Popular, Recent Releases and Future Releases "Browse" 
filters (Top 10,00, Top 50,00 and Ranked Future filters are GONE.)
