Title: Collection questions / feature requests from an RFG noob Post by: ugr on September 01, 2016, 03:44:25 PM Hi there!
I recently joined RFG, and I noticed an awesome community attached. I hope I get a chance to participate, even though life regular saps all of my free time away from me. Anyway, RFG was recommended by several folks to manage and inventory my collection, which I'm awfully slow at entering but hope to solve eventually. I've had fun checking out all of the cool stuff people have, and made ONE WHOLE database submission (incredible, I know)...! I see that there are ways to find matches for buying and selling, and I think that's awesome. One thing I was thinking would be really helpful is being able to "friend" people on RFG. This could be useful, for example, to:

Thanks for the suggestion, but as techwizard mentioned there is no concept of "Friends" in the collection tool, only the forum. I would LOVE to do something like this in the future, and it's honestly the first time it has been brought up since I've been on the site. I'll keep it in mind when I get a chance to sit down and make some changes to the collection tool later this year. Title: Re: Collection questions / feature requests from an RFG noob Post by: ugr on September 12, 2016, 03:04:51 PM That would be awesome! I know code but have no idea how the collection tool is written, so maybe I can help with prototyping some of it out, or at least provide some logic/flowcharty stuff. Please send me a ping if you'd like me to articulate any of the ideas further.
Also, thanks techwizard for pointing out the forum buddies thing, not exactly what I was looking for but I didn't realise it existed; it's a start, and maybe we can use that as a starting point for managing friends to collection-compare with.

I'm not really trying to suggest RFG become the next FriendFace, I was just trying to suggest some things that would help friends share their collections amongst themselves. |
