Your thoughts on DiMa....

New inquiry,

• i can't find a poll about the collection size in 1/200. It's the same poll i asked earlier this month for it to be corrected to people can continue to vote on it.

I searched the backend system your thread isn't there. Very odd, just restart it..

FEEDBACK:

• I timed my collection load w/ 250 models selected @ 14 seconds on latest firefox w/ two other tabs opened this is fantastic compared to before you guys tweaked it.
• I clocked it @ <5 seconds w/ 100 models selected.
• I went for broke & tried 500 models, it took only 40 seconds; before the tweak i just gave up & closed the browser w/ 250 models trying to load for >2minutes

Great improvements guy(s) luv'n it

Thanks.. should be even faster if you turn off the model ratings in your preferences..

[fleetlordatvar]

Yes, it is much faster without the model ratings (benefit for others who don't care about ratings), but i like seeing them as more people vote to show how much the public @ large like the planes

This is an issue I've noticed on the value graph on some models. I hover over a price and on the graph it's in a completely different spot. Ex. I purchased a jet for $24 but when I hover over my jet on the graph the green dot is between the $30 range. I uploaded a picture for an example.

Try looking at the model value graph now, you do have multiple values in the database for some reason. I will remove all but the 24 one. We did find another bug and that is now fixed.

[FireAngelZero]

Thanks Ops, it's all set and fixed.

And your right, I had initially payed regular price for the model, and because it didn't arrive in time for Christmas the retailer I bought it from gave me a discount due to the inconvenience so I had posted both the initial price and the price after the discount, sorry for the mixup.

How did you enter it? we found 6 entries in there for that model. thanks!

Curious, does this manufacturer also use this forum for his ranting? Thank you, Bb

No. I'd love to see if it would be tolerated, though. Free speach is one thing, posting the same thing over and over for years is childish ranting. And, like I posted, there MUST be a government agency he can take his complaint to in China. There has to be!! Or he can file a lawsuit.
BAHAHA.

Hello, is there any way to add a registration number or a database number when looking through the trade area? It's hard sometimes to look for a specific jet when there's 5 or 6 versions of the same jet and livery. Ex. I'm looking for a specific Delta 777-200LR with a certain registration and I have to go through each 777 to see if that's the registration I'm looking for. Just looking or a more simplified way to find trades.

Go to: http://www.diecastmodelaircraft.com/db/tradesearch

Put the registration into the search at the top of that screen.

Absolutely love the database collection.. Noticed recently that you have crossed 30k collection items.. Congratulations..

One suggestion though, is it possible to have registration as part of basic search instead of advanced? This for me is the fastest way to locate an item in the database..

If it doesn't gum up the works would having the adv search as the default make it more efficient, getting rid of the basic search?

[Ops Manager]

Will discuss this w/other admins. We purposely designed the quick to be very basic. Adding to it would gum up a few things.

Since it would gum up the works & to save all the man hours to change the search options...

i would suggest to Gliazzurra to save a bookmark in your browser toolbar w/ the advance already selected w/ your options filled in. This is what i do, it's much more efficient than re-entering all my preferences over & over.
