Re: Database & MyCollection - What do you want to see?

Three more thoughts Todd.
1. Can you make it so that when you have more than one model of the same id number, that the models appear consecutively? At the moment, they are often separated by other models from the same manufacturer. This would make it easier to keep track of which models you have duplicates of.

2. The wish list function. I am not sure what this does other than allow members to log the models they would like to see manufactured. This is actually a great idea but only if the information can be *****sed by the manufacturers themselves. Perhaps this data might be able to be collated like the polls on the forums or collected into a link on the website that can be publicly accessed. I assume at the moment that there is something that allows a members wishlist to be viewed along with their signature. Interesting but not likely to see manufacturers pay attention.

3. I am still finding lots of good features around the site - mostly by good luck or hit & miss. It may be useful to have a walk-through tour of the site for new members explaining how the features all work, especially with the update. For instance, I have only recently started using the "Todays Post" drop-down from Quick Links. This works MUCH better than the New Posts drop-down, especially since notification of new posts from subscribed threads seems hit or miss at best.

Hope these ideas are useful. (Also, from the conspicuous absence of reply re pics of custom models, can I assume that this may be too difficult?)
