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

You will have the ability to sort on 4 criteria, which should clear this up.

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.
Certain manufacturers were given special report pages to get a list of models that users are interested in.

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.
That has been a To-Do for a LONG time. We have a system in place to store this kind of info, but the time to write it hasn't been found. We do need to write a manual of sorts, instructions, tips, etc. We'll take volunteers if anyone is interested.

Custom pics (most likely 1 per model) is being considered, pending time contraints for this release of our software.
