Anyone else having an issue that the first category on the menu always opens when the page is loaded? Anyone have a fix for this?

I can see from your site you managed to fix this.
I'm having the same problem. It would be great if someone could share the solution.

I solved the problems by making some changes to my htaccess. I have also added Smartoptimizer and Gzip-compression to try and speed things up a little. My htaccess now looks like this. It appears to be a little messy but is doing the job. If anyone would like to share any suggestions as to how I can improve it further I would be hugely appreciative.

Check out the Speed up your CS cart post to read more on Smartoptimizer and Gzip-compression http://forum.cs-cart...website-step-1/

I'm not totally sure but I think after I did this my visitor log stopped working. I have just changed the my_account.tpl back to how it was to see if the log starts recording visitors again.

Has anyone else encounter this problem?

Thanks for your help Lucian.
Highly recommend Seonid, excellent Add-ons and brilliant technical support.

Response: 550 /httpdocs/addons/dvs_sharethis/addon.xml: No such file or directory

Any ideas?
