    Looks good.
    What sort of search engine indexing is available with your IDX system? And is the API option still being supported?

    We are still evaluating the indexing of listings. We're probably going to allow indexing of a member's own listings very soon, as that doesn't seem to violate any MLS policies. We're waiting for feedback from several key MLSs about NAR's recent decision to allow general indexing.

    As far as the API, it's still available and included.

    I like the new look and especially the much clearer button at the top of listings to "Return to search Results". A couple things I noticed though- If you do not have a white background on your page (we have brown) then some of the new rounded tabs are not really rounded.
    Guess the image for the tab does not have a transparent background. The FMLS logos could use some cleanup without a white background as well or just give the logos a white background to make it easy.
    Second when you go to schedule an appointment the confirm button does not show the text "confirm" until you mouse over it. It simply looks like a box without text. On your demo it was not doing that but when I implemented the new rounded interface I noticed the problem.
    I was curious if when you designed the new look if you had considered using a sprite for all the smaller button images? It would speed up your page by reducing latency and requesting all those little images.
    Finally, and completely unrelated but in the spirit of constructive criticism have you noticed now FMLS allows listings to be shown for TWO areas. So now when you search by subdivision there is a good possibility of seeing the same listing at LEAST twice. We also subscribe to MLS so our users have reported seeing the same listing up to FOUR times in a search result. Any way to aggregate the results and just show one?
    Keep up the good work!

    Better than the way it looks... is the way this platform performs. Excellent product on every level!
