The ECommerce forum just went live, and it is ready for any ecommerce questions or comments that you may have on any ecommerce topic. Hopefully, it will take off and grow quickly, so it can provide additional value for our readers. It is one of many new features we are adding in 2010 to increase visitor loyalty and to facilitate community-building and networking.

We have created the following new forums as a start:

Introduce Yourself – Say Hello!
- where you can drop by, say hello and tell us a little bit about yourself.

Shopping Carts And Storefront E-Commerce Platforms

Other topical areas may be added by request. If you have suggestions, please let us know, by responding to this post. Anyone can view and read the posts, but to reduce the chances for spam, and junk postings, we require registration. (don’t worry it is free). Once registered you can post new topics and reply to posts. We also moderate the postings to eliminate those that think they can register for a free account and then post junk.

We hope you enjoy the new forum and we hope that you find it useful!
