This is the my favorite place on the internet. If print collecting is a house, EB is my foundation. Donated $25. Good luck on the overhaul. Does this get me a $ badge?

If we donated just prior to the link being posted on the front page, does that still grant access to the beta site?

EB has a murky, hybrid profit/not-for-profit organizational structure which i don't really get, but hey it's non-corporate and non-advertising based, so I'm happy to contribute. :pint:

All done. Good luck. Shame the save collection function doesn't appear to be working just to be on the safe side.
Of course, not saying I don't trust you all to do a good job!!!! :D

have all those shaded out prints at the bottom of the page been available as "rewards?" I will definitely donate but if i can add something i want to the collection all the better. Also if as part of the rebuild how hard would it be to make a matchmaker button on each print page? If i am looking for a specific print and can click a button to see if anyone has a match with my trades rather than clicking through every individual member offering said print or going through 8 pages on the matchmaker function as it exists it would be awesome.

No... the only things we have put up as rewards are prints that EB has produced/commissioned over the years (and even then, only select ones that we have remaining inventory of). The site doesn't have it's own collection to sell off...

No plans for matchmaker on each page - gotta make you do some leg work on things otherwise where is the thrill of the hunt? Seriously though, it may be something to consider, but wouldn't hold my breath on it.
