Here ya go --

What you'll see there is everything you've entered, minus the ratings and
the text notes.  And when other people view your list, they only see the
"Public" lists (i.e., numbers that you filled into the boxes labeled
"Public").  Only you, when you're signed in, see the info you entered into
boxes lableed "Private."

BTW, at the top of the page, it also links back to your member profile page,

   http://www.lugnet.com/people/members/?m=401

and that's got a link back to your set-list page.  So you can kinda hop around
in and out of the set DB and over to people's profile pages and back to their
lists and back to the DB again.  Ooh, I'm getting dizzy.  :)

Very, very nice.  The inclusion of the want to sell/Want to buy features is
incredible.  I didn't post about it then, but I started discussing a deal to
buy a set from someone based on the fact that they posted a desire to sell
within an hour of the first time I looked at the new set database format.  The
deal isn't finalised yet, mostly because the seller hadn't considered how much
he actually wanted for the set yet. :D

A very powerful and valuable tool.  At least, for those of us who want older
sets.

Cool.  Nice & quick interface.  It didn't take me more than an hour or so of
free time to enter my sets (from fuzzy memory).  Now you give me a piece
count, and I find out I've got more LEGO than I thought!  Always a good
thing. :)

Todd/Suze, this is awesome!  If you can promise me you won't have a server
crash I'll delete my Excel collection database  :]  The parts count is really
slick, too, something I was doing in Excel.

I think a big plus out of all of this as well is that as more and more
people "register" their collections, maybe more will contribute to
filling in the "holes" in the database data (missing piece counts, etc.).

This data integration this is getting fearsome!  ;]

Thanx!

Throw me $100K and I can guarantee that.  :-)

Could you make use of an export-as-CSV (or tab-separated text) feature?

Looking forward to that, ya!

This is just a tiny step in the right direction!  :)

also, (though Jenn already did everything by hand), import-from-CSV?

Yep!! Extremely useful..:-) At least an "input set list page" where we
can input our sets by simply clicking on check boxes or such. Something
like summary pages of set searches. I think including the input
functionality to the current summary page format would do that nice.
