can we get mods to add new listings as they are submitted instead of prioritizing MONDO fudge or 50 different godzilla posters or the 5 millionth "new" release of a halloween poster?

that would be nice for starters

For the most part new additions are added as they are submitted with a special eye for the most recent and upcoming releases, but some entries require much more editing, information gathering, and verification. In an attempt to keep the database as accurate as possible, every submission is reviewed for consistency....which can take some time

Post pics using the img tags?
so I guess that's my question, no directly uploading pics anymore?

Nope, takes up a bunch of room on the server and using imgur or other host sites saves the site some space.
Go ahead, make my millennium.

I believe the picture attachment function was turned off back on one of the previous servers because it kept overloading the discs and causing errors. Personally I think it's probably a good idea to leave it off. We've already got a lot of disc space being taken up by the images in the database.

I'll definitely be looking into other methods of attaching images though. There are a few that should keep it relatively easy.

Currently though you need to host your image elsewhere and use the img tags.

I seem to be getting messages without getting the usual email letting me know that I have a message.

Should be fixed. They might not have rolled the fix out to the live server though. Won't be long.

The previous site required me to manually add https:// each time to get a secure login which was a nuisance, but now however the new site won't allow me a secure address at all.

Are PMs working properly? I haven't had a single PM I've sent after May 6 actually be read or responded to.

75-80% of my PMs I sent on or before May 6 went read or responded to. Granted I registered May 5, but it was quite a few because there are a few prints I'm ISO.

Could just be bad luck but very odd.

Edit: I see email notifications aren't going out. That could explain it. Has that been fixed?

- I don't seem to be getting email messages when I get a PM...I see that a lot of people have posted about that.

- any time I write in any thread, it seems to subscribe me to that thread and I get emails every time anyone else posts in that thread. every time I post, I hav to go into my settings and unsubscribe myself from the thread I just posted in, otherwise I get lots of emails letting me know that other people posted in that thread.

- ill add a print to my collection but as of the new server switch, the print doesn't show up in my collection?

A lot of those links have https at the start and we don't have https setup yet. Its on the 'to do' list though.
