I am really enjoying learning / setting up blists - some end user requests - please prioritize allowing larger file import (PPTs are file hogs), and shared admin of blists... keep up the great work!

Not sure what's going on there. And also you can't see all the columns in the import dialog. Perhaps its only importing the columns you see in that dialog. And also certain things are sluggish once the data is up. For example, renaming a column makes you wait a long time. You guys gotta optimize that eventually for prime time. And finally I couldn't figure how to change a column data type (say from num to phone) once the data is up. I find it only imports the first number of columns, not all of them.

My only suggestion is to keep bringing on the new features, but there is one thing that I really really would like to have. That is a desktop version. Please bring us "Blist Desktop" soon! Loving it!

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. :( I really hope it's not a Firefox incompatibility thing. Not sure if this is the right place, but I can’t create a pick list to save my life.
