    Linking to fellow collectors' collections - Enhancement Complete

    This is a feature I would find very interesting. It's not critical, but it would prove interesting to see the collections (if they make it public) of fellow collectors easily when viewing a model.

    To make it clearer:
    When I click on a model in the Database or in my own collection, it shows me how many other collectors have that same model and for most of them it shows their usernames in the "Collectors of this model" window.
    When I click on that collector there it takes me to his/her User profile page.
    Is there someone of adding a button or a link on that initial profile page which can take one directly to that collector's collection?
    There is a round-about way of getting there by going into Members and then having to search laboriously for the same member to hopefully see their collection.

    The reason I want to see this is that someone else might have similar collection criteria and they might know or have a model in their collection which is not well known.
    What do my fellow collectors think about this?

          Wow! Thank you Ops Manager, that was indeed very quick. :-) I am once again very impressed. And at the same time I am a bit dumbfounded how people try to prop up other forums which are clearly on a downward spiral. Dima is proving yet again to be 'THE' place to gather for collectors. Anyhow, back to this topic...

          Some feedback form my point of view.
          I tested with both SeaMonkey 2.26.1 as well as FireFox 31.0

          Option two is the best one. The link in the users profile pages are the one which is working best. The first option coded 'View Collection' below the username, when used, shows the page in that window pane (not a new full screen window), which is a bit too small to scroll through. So my vote goes for option two.

          A follow up question I now have...
          When I view the users collection I see the left hand pane with a picture of the model and in the middle pane I see more details about the model. (Airline and Aircraft Type at the top).

          Now, would it be possible to show the model aircraft's registration too in this middle pane? I see that a lot of collectors (like myself) have 'similar' models, but with different registrations.
          If this isn't shown then it again takes a while to click on the model to get the info and then click 'back' again. All this takes a while to load.
          Showing the registration would help a lot here too.
          Compare this to when you view your own collection where you see the Airline, Aircraft Type, Registration and Engines.

          But once again. Thank you for your speedy response. Here is wishing people notice that here things are moving forward, not backward.

            You're welcome!!

            Fixed the linking of user profile and collection, for now it opens in a new window, we may code new "smaller" displays for the detail page in the future.

            Registration added to collection view for other users.

              Alright. Whoever is paying your salary definitely needs to pay your more as you are very valuable to Dima.
              A gold star to you Ops Manager :-)
