    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

        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

            Noted on the auto insert date.
            Pending models is not models that are up for pre-order, they are models that people have submitted to be added. Right now wc.com participates in autocollect when your order is shipped.

            Noted the multiple delete.

              I was thinking about the making collection list more compact. I'm assuming you're thinking something like a text list which would be cool. For us visual folks it might be cool to have a grid of just the main picture of the model and one small line of text underneath it.
              Also a group by (where you insert a space) might be handy for the first sort item
              Thanks!

                We need a cross reference feature that tells us whose molds are being used for different models, e.g., the phoenix and GJ 767-300W are the same mold, as are the 787-8.. but NOT the 787-9..

                Reason being, I like to keep the molds I buy consistent (for the most part).

                  CRAZY!! SUPER labor intensive w/ no certified way to verify.

                  I disagree. Molds have unique corresponding part numbers. The companies who make models have this data.

                  Labor intensive perhaps, impossible, no.

                  those part numbers would likely fall into bossiness secrets(?) & companies would certainly be reluctant to share that info. anyone know if getting those numbers would be likely.

                  What about having a generic "related models" link created by users with a comment field as to why it's related. then somebody can put in "same mold" or "same airline same aircraft different manufacturer"

                    Anything created by users in wiki fashion generally leads to errors and bigger problems. Noted what you are looking for will see what we can do.

                      We were brainstorming for ideas and I submitted an idea for a feature nobody has. I had no idea how difficult or easy it might be. But it's a good idea.

                      If it's not economically viable, then it also makes sense why nobody else has done it. Maybe letting the users populate this data slowly over time - the same way we update prices - maybe that is the best way to go.

                      As for obscure models and limited production types, I don't think those are relevant so much as the big 3-4 mfg's that frequently share molds.

                        What about having a filter for the trades list that is "has an asking price" (probably should make it ignore "0" as I've seen some people with that accidentally filled in). It would also be cool to see a list of users with the most models available for trade that have an asking price.

                        BTW there are no pagination links for a user's tradelist (at least on google chrome) and the asking price in a user's trade list is different than asking price listed in "list of trades" for a specific model.
