I think your site is great.

Did you use any special modules or customised menus or anything like that or was it all done using a "stock" installation of CMSMS?

I like how you have the "change details" form for each business listing (or the same form for all business listings I guess)
What exactly is the purpose of the "activation code"?

Thanks

I modified the menus a bit

The activation code stops just anyone from asking for changes ie: a competitor telling me to change a phone number

When you call its just an answerphone which emails me the message in .wav with filename being the callers phone number, the callers phone number must match the number in the listing and the message must match the activation code entered in the form.

The search is a user defined tag that uses MSN's RSS feed

The News year pages is a custom menu that retrieves the first so many characters from the page so as to show a sort of preview.

The business pages are another custom menu which grabs the phone number
The listings with just a phone number and no page are a modified section header

I'm curious as to why you used a pop-up window for your form instead of just a new window? It seems that lots of people have pop-up blockers installed or javascript turned off. What was your reasoning? I like the pop-up but I guess I'm afraid to use them because of that.

Simply because i liked it, Its user initiated so shouldnt get block by any decent blocker and now it should still work with javascript off.

Cheers
