What new features should we add to DiMA next?

[foundation]

My favorites would be 4,5,6. Maybe instead of a text hint, just auto insert today's date in the format you want in the acquire date, and people can modify it if they want.
If the pending models list was auto inserted from preorders by waffle, diecastairplane and others that'd be cool, but for models I acquire from ebay and such I'd wait until I acutally had them in case something was wrong.

the multiple delete from collection would that be from the want list? if so I'd vote for that too

I still get the same error. Sorry.

I'm interested in the flight memory now to see my flt stats, i'll have to check out the website.

I am still getting an error. I have attached a screenshot of my problem. Behind the popup box is the code to get my DIMA statistics box.

A wider avatar size would require some additional coding and template modifications, otherwise everything would be shifted to the right more as they are much wider. The Avatar system in Vb5 is based off of squares which most social networks are utilizing now, so this is more of a standard. Once we have moved to the latest version of vb5 (we are awaiting some bug fixes) we can look into this more carefully.

Character limit increased, this has been completed, let me know if you still have issues.

Also, would it be possible to use the airline logos as your avatar and / or have a bigger avatar? Thanks. My delta logo is a bit cramped.

Would it be possible to raise the character limit on the signatures? I want both my DIMA and Flight Memory banners to show and I am literally one character short.

Done.. use the "prefix" 1:500 when posting in there.. i've moved some of the older threads in there..

Getting the info for each model we look up would be fantastic & i hope it can be done. For now though you can add the model to "your want" list & select the box near the top (view pic)

Waffle handles most of the db entries. Per #8 in list above, that would be the "window" in to the user submitted model queue; that queue right now is at 31 models. Some may be rejected due to poor or lacking information that makes it impossible to add. Remember, these models are secondary to what waffle puts in each day - mainstream models, new releases, etc. Each model that is submitted, whether via waffle or users, goes through a massive triage for data. This is verification of sources, registrations, engines etc. Each of this takes time, if you don't then you wind up with a DB like those that can be found elsewhere. Adding volunteers doesn't solve the problem until they are properly trained and approved - with out that, you get a wiki style site that is a mish-mosh of incorrect data. The more data you can fill out in the submit form will help us go faster. If there is a model that needs to be put in sooner for whatever reason, please email database@diecastmodelaircraft.com with your request after you submit it. We'll do our best.

Just had two submissions rejected. It'd be helpful to know how there was "insufficient data" (I don't think there was). Just so I can avoid such submissions in future. ;-) Get rid of the "engines" field; they can be looked up at eg. Airfleets.net. So it's easier to vet submissions.

Edit: Also, is there anyway that when you are searching for a model in the DB it can be easier for you to check for only models that are In-Stock through either Waffle or Diecastairplane?

Noted, we will check on how quickly this can be added. I like that idea.

I agree with mmu69 on that one. The first time I ever submitted model pictures it was up within 2 minutes, I uploaded a picture for a different model last night, and I'm still waiting to see if it's approved, or if I need to upload it again.
