I'm relatively new to this site and to date I've entered close to 19,000 comics into my small section of this database. I try to help with a cover price, artist, or publish date here and there but my primary focus is to get ALL my comics into the database to sell. When a variant is missing then I have to track that SEPARATELY in my own spreadsheet, because as of 11/13/2016 the 10 titles/variants are still in the forum to be processed... and I SHOULDN'T post any more.
I've made suggestions about the process of entering missing comics because I feel that process is totally broken. I've also made other suggestions and have been compiling a mental list of features that I'd like to see on this site. I've gotten some good responses and some non-responses.
I write software for a living and would LOVE to help when I have the time or get paid for my efforts if there is a full-time gig here.
Maybe there is a way to use this forum or a post to track these missing features and prioritize them (like a sticky post which has the features prioritized at the top of the topic and then other posts chiming in for features).
So far I'm EXTREMELY happy with the site. I have 217 comics that are not being tracked in the site so having 1.14% missing from the database isn't bad. I actually thought it would be higher now that I'm entering all of my independents.
I will probably post a blog about how I track these AND get that row into a form that I can POST into the missing comics forum. If somebody really wants to know, then I will probably blog about it sooner and provide my spreadsheet that tracks these.
Take care and let's make 2017 Comictacular (I just wanted to have some lame byline)

Ha, yeah, that's been up there a bit too long. I'll nix it today.
I wholly endorse this thread as we're in the middle of a complex rebuild and will be making a ton of user requested quality of life changes

Great to hear about the revamp. My three cents worth
1) Several folks have mentioned they would like to export all inventory to one file. That would be near top of list.
2) An Import feature would be most useful as well - then I could add my stuff in spreadsheet and just import. An alternative would be to add in batches of one title rather that one at a time. I think that feature was available at one time.
3) When I add pictures in the forum I need to post on another website like photo bucket and link them. Any through to being able to cut and paste picture in forum. I know this requires more memory space for you, but the slow load kills my forum to add cover scans.
4) Please - the forums need option to display the last post at top of page. I'm a busy guy, time to page through forum threads just takes too long.
Thanks - looking forward to update.

I'm new to the site as well, and I did pay for a gold subscription. I checked out a lot of the competitors, but this site seemed to offer the best set of features overall, and to have a decent-sized community.
At this point, I only have one feature request, and it should be an easy one...
Please remove the "New CPG Announcements" banner at the top of the page. It takes about 1/3 of the page real estate on my laptop, and it's even worse on mobile devices. It would be nice not to have to scroll every time I load a new page. At least give me the option to suppress the announcement after I've read it.

Hi netstuffers,
Since you asked... assuming you want the forum portion to grow...
Let "flag" (or whatever) other users when we post, and let us see a list of posts we've been flagged to.

Like to see a selection of Avatar pictures come back.
Seeing quite a few members with no avatar pic.

I'm lazy and I also like the option of having no picture.

I also have a hard time viewing other members collections when invited to do so. their collection will show 800 or so comics in their collection for marvel but when I click on the marvel link it shows two titles, then if i click on one of the letters above that I get redirected to this page:
http://comicspriceguide.com/my-collection/controls/#
Which displays the following:
Sorry, you have found a page that does not exist. Please return to the homepage or help us out and Report how you got here.
When I click on the "report how you got here" link it just takes me to the "about us" page.
navigating the "guide part of the site has always had a few bugs and glitches but I guess my main point is that this site is supposed to be a price guide first and foremost (at least given it's name) shouldn't the guide be the best part?
I hope I don't come off as too condescending here but that's just my opinion.
