Glad to see you back, rhu! I thought we'd lost you or something. I tried to contact you but never heard back. For some reason I can't login and the password reset link doesn't work.

Haha do you require scans ? If you wish you could just grab photos from my thread, but they probably dont fit into the big picture.

Yikes, they're awesome images! I fully intend on borrowing them for the site I'm incredibly jealous that my photos will never end up looking like that.

I do see now that I can add to the collection (I like how I can add multiples at once too!). In doing so they were added, but the indexes of the images must be off because the images in my collection don't match what is in the individual entries. I'm sure that's something still being worked, but wanted to call it out in case something else was off. It also took me a while to figure out that I had to first add the deck, then go add images, then go back to the main level and back into the entry before I can select the thumb image. Seems to work though.

I don't see how I can add a new 'brand' though, but did add some decks where it seemed to fit. Also, what is the definition of 'brand'? Usually that is Unbranded, HOPC or Bicycle when I think of that, but it seems as though it is actually being used as Designer or Publisher or Creator.

Thanks for the feedback, it's really helpful I'll look into the index issue. The definition of a brand is somewhat relaxed currently... I'll need to sort that sooner rather than later I think. I think you're right though, I need to focus on giving people a reason to use the site before I can expect people to update it regularly.

The virtual currency or a points system appeals to me, lots of experience with this in my past life as a casual game developer - I think this idea could work nicely

Haha, sorry. Too busy and not enough free time - must of forgot to reply! Will try and fix whatever has went wrong with that tonight.

How are things going rhu? Really hoping you are able to fix a few of the major issues so this can start to take off and build the db and members. As mentioned the deck index doesn't seem to be matching up when added to collection since it points to other images, probably a minor code bug? Also, most decks seem to say image needed even though the deck scan is selected and shows in index views, but not on the deck page itself at the top.

Also, really hoping that eventually we can have read only listings of collections to share and post online so anybody can go to a URL (eg. playingcarddb.com/ecNate/collection) to see all entries like what shows under 'my collection' currently.

I added a few more decks and scans, let me know if you need other assistance!

It makes me sad that this awesome site seems to have stalled. rhu, can I help in any way? It's been a while since I did PHP or other development, but I would be happy to help or take this over. I could even take over with hosting and or fork the code from your base if either is an issue. Perhaps you should consider moving the project to sourceforge and having a group continue to develop it?

Just trying to help since obviously you are quite busy and I think this would be a great asset for the community!

@ecNate: I eventually added the ability to share your collection

My collection: http://playingcarddb.com/mycollection?u=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
ecNate's collection: http://playingcarddb.com/mycollection?u=6134" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I really need to make some progress with this today! This has been on my todo list for too long

Apologies for double post, but I think the usual problem is my lack of posting here

* Fixed image bugs on collection page and homepage.

* Added a very basic list view for showing of your collections:

Mine: http://playingcarddb.com/cardcollection?u=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
ecNate: http://playingcarddb.com/cardcollection?u=6134" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
