feature request idea

[chaosanderson]

thank you for all your hard work in this website (and to everyone who contributes!)

Has there been any other requests for an "Ignore" button/option?  what I mean is a way to filter out of "What am I missing" items that I have no intention on adding to my collection unless I get them for free, stumble on them cheap, etc.   for example I never intend to purchase XYZ Transformer from Toyline Movie X2, I could mark it as unwanted/ignore and then it won't show in my what is missing from the collection list (perhaps create another link to an ignored list so the ignore can be undone.)
I'm no computer programmer/etc so I don't know how much work that would be but I think it could provide value to managing need/want lists.

Thanks.

Interesting idea, but it raises some questions. How would you un-ignore something you had ignored? Where would the ignore checkbox be? Maybe I could convert the "wishlist" checkbox to a drop-down, with options like "Add to Wishlist", and "I am not interested in this item", something like that. Any thoughts?

Sorry I only login every so often.
I think the wishlist conversion would be a good idea, it would seem to have that alternate list functionality already in it. I know very little about programming so not sure how it would work/how much work would go into it.

The wishlist section changed to a drop down would be interesting. other than that I would guess a checkmark next to or under the wishlist would work as well.

the way I envision it working is
click on missing from collection or browsing or whatever, marking the item ignore (via the dropdown or the checkbox) would move it off of the missing from collection list and move it onto an ignore list (very similar to the wishlist I suppose now that I think of it just obviously with the added change of removal).  Then in our membership drop down we would have a selection for Ignored List (like wishlist) that we could then go into and modify if for some reason we change our mind or come across the item randomly and added it to the collection.
So for example I never intended to add Blazemaster from RoTF to my collection when he was announced so I would mark him ignored. Then someone gave him to me for free, I could go into the ignore list, unmark him and add him to my collection.
This would also work with people who don't care to much about variants such as with or without rubsign etc.

Thank you for thinking about the option.

Tell ya what, I'll trade ya for it: submit 50 photos, and the feature shall be yours. Whaddya say?

[chaosanderson]

I'll give it a shot, I'm not very photo-capable which is why I haven't really tried to contribute in the past (even with the super awesome contests!) But I'll see what I can do this weekend.

So have had some delays but I have my first photo I think.  I'm going to submit it today (This last month or so has been crazy)
Its the instructions for Barrage, Let me know if it looks good.  I have about 20ish instruction books that I photoed that need to go through editing...  The instructions were the easiest part of my collection to get to, most of it is packed away T-T due to recent moving and space considerations.  If I can get these 20ish or so decent enough I'll work on getting another 30.

Sounds good, we're looking forward to them!
