Hey Dain, just wondering if there is a feature in the works that allows us to catalog our own collections on the site?  I thought you had mentioned this as an upcoming feature, but I can't remember for sure.  Thanks, love the site.

Yes, it's coming. Sooner or later.

Must resist temptation to comment must resist temptation...

LOL, Erik -- thanks for not making a comment about this (Erik has been waiting, semi-patiently, for this feature for some time now).

The skinny is that we will definitely have a collection feature, but "when" is the real question. I've put this off over and over again because I keep changing my mind on how it will work. My final thoughts on this is that I'll be creating two versions: a plain vanilla version that simply allows you to create glorified lists of lists; and a chocolate cream pie version that allows you to track anything you could possibly want to track. I'm hoping that after an upcoming work-related deadline that I'll have a little more time and energy to work on this and get it out to everyone.

Hooray

I will take one Chocolate cream pie please!!

Sounds good, thanks Dain. I apppreciate all you do with this site. I just wanted to know before I spent the time making my own list in Excel or something.

My gamelist might tid you over for now. It is in Excel format and has checkable boxes to track your stuff. On my site at www.nationalgamedepot.zoomshare.c....

Sounds awesome. I wonder if it would be possible to offer a "convert collection to .XML" option? Could be a handy feature for folks who want to post their collections to their personal website. Might be more trouble than it's worth, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Exporting it to XML would be very easy actually, and would allow people to modify it offline and re-upload it; however, we'd need someone to create a shell XLS file that could import and format it (maybe using VBS, etc).

a friend of mine wrote a xml sheet for my collection, including css stylesheet and some more of that stuff (dont really know how it works myself, i just edit the xml files)
its not hard to edit it, not very easy either but the average pc-knowledged person should be able to work with it

ill upload my list thursday and give a link so u can see how it looks
it has the following attributes:
gamename
box yes/no
booklet yes/no
gameplay video link
background info link

might be adding box/cart art link later
