Awesome!! I couldn't find any more problems with it, so I'm super glad the public gets to play with it now.

Is there a way to look at someone else's collection, or is it a private thing?

You can just click on "Browse Collections" I believe.

The easiest way I've found to do that Randy is to look at the member directory, find the person you want, and then select "collections" in the drop-down across from their name.

I just spent a few (lol) hours putting in my collection one by one. I can't seem to find the Aladdin games in either the collection tool nor the database. Am I looking in the wrong place/typing in the wrong thing?

edit: Ahh, I see. They're variants!

Not sure if I'll do my licensed collection. So many gaps! I got my unlicensed one up there, though. Even the homebrews. No problems.

I started adding stuff a little bit at a time, entering in all the codes and taking pictures, will take quite a while but will be perfect to keep track of everything. I must say Dain this is the best thing I have ever seen. Thank you for all you do, as I have said many times before!

How do you access the collection tool? I have a feeling I'm missing something, I'm sure it is real easy to get to.

Go to the 'My Home' section in the top right, then click on Collections on the left when you're in there.

or

In the 'Jump to...' menu in the top left, select Collections

Wow, just noticed this thread, must have been slacking over the Turkey Day break. I did notice the new icon, and I'm glad to have helped the cause

Great work Dain, you had great turnaround time for the majority of the bugs (even the difficult ones).

Wow, thanks to the collection tool I just realized that half of my dupe pile weren't actually dupes, so my cart total just grew like 4%. That's what I get for buying and selling off the top of my head without actually tracking anything up to this point and randomly storing my carts in 4 different rooms.

Very nice to know what the heck is going on around here for a change. Thanks Dain.

As slow as I am about getting to this, I am so pumped about having this on NA. I've now switched almost over to using it exclusively! Thanks for all of the things you keep adding. This site is THE best site!

Great job everybody, ~~world's best cup of coffee...~~ world's best cup of NES.

It's been over 2 years since the collection tool launched. I just wanted to say thanks to Dain and all of the long time NA members who helped create it. I use it all the time and it's the only way I track my snes and nes collections. I know some people prefer other methods of tracking their collections like spreadsheets and the like but I prefer to check my collection off on Nintendo Age. Now if we could only get more scans into the snes database. It's pretty sparse.
