With regard to actual improvements, from what I can remember if
I was grouping certain TGP's together, I kept having to scroll
down again to start a new group instead of it letting me carry on
from where I was (this may be vague as it was a while ago).
When editing a site from the site list or from the submission logs
it jumps straight to the site last edited. However when adding a
new site it doesn't re-query the database to find the new SiteID
and jump to it. This saves a query, which from memory has to be
run quite often. Similarly when deleting a site from the
submission logs it jumps back to be beginning because the site
that it would have jumped to (and it's logs) no longer exists.

I use a couple of simple techniques to help get around this. When
adding a site the program checks to see if it's a duplicate so
there is no need to search first, however after I add the site I
use the search feature to bring it up for editing. When going over
the logs for sites to delete or edit I first submit in alphabetical
order so that I can keep track of where I was up to. This is only
really an issue when you have to delete a site as otherwise it
jumps back to the last site edited. Maybe I could make the delete
function just disable a site, then later you could run a function to
delete disabled sites from the options menu. This would mean it's
still in the logs and has a place to jump to. I could also make the
add feature automatically search for the last site added. I'm not
sure on adding the query that would find the SiteID and jump to
it because of the extra hit on the database however I'll give it a
go and see how things look.
