dang you you shmax i whent to bed thinking about this place and some great stuff poped into my head

First of all how about a rateing system for the TFs a 1-5  or stars
or Fraction symbles?

Second how about a favored by system to like

A small window in the corner saying
Starscrem is:
Favored by 27 peple
Hated by 4 peple (you can also add the rateing here to)
Avrage rate is
4.5 (four and half Deceptacon logos)

Ok thanks for geting my sig working now heres a kick to your codeing skills
How about a way to flip it from being your collection to you wish list
This would mean you would need away to allso rank your wish list
so you would put your top 10 most wanted in the wish list and have it posted in the wish list sig

Also i have a neat idea for the sidebar navagation and the data base in genaral

Im going to use Silverbolt as an exsample

Say where adding him to the data base right
now what if you had a way to tag him?
Window option one Auotbot or Deceptacon or other?

Window option two dose it belong to a subgroup? yes
Drop down window featriing all the avalable subgroups
Combiner is selected
Add anotherr subgroup? yes?
Dropdown
Airealbot is selected

what this would meen is now Silverbolt has the following tags
Date: 1986
Fraction: Autobot
Subgroup: Combiner
Subgroup: Airalbot

with theses tags you can redo the navagation sidebar so you can now navagate by name,era,date,fraction,or two diffrant subgroups

Nice idea! Do you think that users should only be able to rate items that they own? That way I could store the info in the same database table, and it makes sense, in a way--the theory being that you should only be rating a toy you've experienced for yourself.

Another good one! I'm going to put that one fairly low priority, though, because it presents some difficult user interface issues, but it should definitely go in there at some point.

Well this much you can already do--you'll see once you try adding a few toys. You can pick a faction upon entry. You can't browse by faction (although you can search by faction by clicking on a faction symbol).

Hmmm. So you mean a system where you can tag an item with keywords? Interesting idea, and in theory it wouldn't be too tough to implement. I'll stick it on the list.

I definitely like the idea of being able to browse by date... on the list! And I think what I'll do is make sure that search results can be browsed normally, in the same way that you can browse your collection or wishlist, and eventually add an advanced search. Then, you can, say, browse all the autobots by simply doing an autobot search (which you can do automatically now, by clicking on the word "autobot"). Ooh, that's a good one, I'll do that one now, while it's still fresh in my melon.

Good stuff, thanks much, my friend.

Yeah i see where your comeing from about rateing a TF from only in your collection but theres still the issue of being able to tell ppl you hate/dislike a figure

So you must own a figure to rate it but you dont have to to tell ppl you like or dislike a figure?


Thanks boss just trying to help out like i said i would
