Collectors Cantina

[My young Padawan]

I love the new and improved Pictures Archives (Collectors Cantina). I just spent the last thirty minutes transferring my collection to the online checklist. I can't seem to find two figures in the Episode I Basic Figures category. Queen Amidala (Battle) with Ascension Gun and Pit Droids (2-Pack) seem to be missing. Am I looking in the wrong spot?

Collectors Cantina! That sounds oddly familiar, much like http://www.creaturecantina.com (Creature Cantina)

Of course, this is just a coincidence..and I am sure Bill Cable will put his two credits in on this one.

Thanks for the comments My young Padawan. There seems to be some minor bugs and we are working on them. The data is in there but for some odd reason, it's not showing up.

As for Dark Hybrid's comment, never been to that site. Collectors Cantina has been in the making for at least 2 years... Cantina, hangout place from Star Wars and we are Collectors so we got Collectors Cantina.

please let me repeat myself...the collector cantina JUST PLAIN SUCKS!!!!

what the hell is this thing supposed to be or to do?!?!

the picture archive has been moved into it so now you have to log in using some goofy assigned password that is impossible to memorize.... so I have to waste time registering, then looking up my password everytime I want to see a photo

as for the buy and sell features... what features?!?! it doesnt separate loose from carded... which is important for many including myself... and I cant find any sellers?!?!

what is that all about?!?!

it is about the most NON-intuitive interface Ive ever encountered

everytime you make a selection on the drop down menu page you have to wait for the page to reload--what is that?!?!

Sir Steve.... I dont know what the hell this thing is supposed to be or to do--but as for myself (and probably a millioin other people) I dont have time to dick around figurung out how to make this stupid feature work. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?!

Id be happy to blow it off and ignore it but you MOVED THE PICTURE ARCHIVE into it--and that JUST PLAIN SUCKS. What a pain in my sphincter.

I dont have time to dick around looking for photos and info--and this new cantina thing forces me to d*ck around.

I would imagine im going to have to start visiting other sites that are easier to use and get around in.

once again, Steve, RETURN THE PICTURE ARCHIVE!!! And ditch the picture archive login!!

THIS REALLY SUCKS!!!!!!

-F-

And THAT name is highly original?? It is just the name of the Vintage Kenner Cantina playset! Watch out for those Hasbro lawyers....

Umm....... Login is only required if you want to track your collection by entering your haves and wants. You do not have to login to browse the database. Try clicking the Browse Database button on the CC Home page. Buy and Sell feature has not been added yet. It most certainly does separate loose from carded. After you login, you can go to "My Account" and change the password to your liking. There are over 10,000 items in this databse so each time you select a line, it searches for that particular line and pulls the results. Same goes with the series. It's simply breaking down your search results. The picture archive is the same as it was before, just more to it. Non-intuitive? It cannot be any easier to use. You are using the EXACT SAME PICTURE ARCHIVE INTERFACE AS BEFORE.

[Flembar]

you know Steve,... there is a reason high end web designers DO NOT do use testing. THEY ARE TOO CLOSE TO THE PRODUCT

the site is NOT intuitive... if I was new to Sir Steve's, how would I even know you have a picture archive and how would I know how to find it?

frankly, you are too close to your own design to know how NON-user friendly it is

you need a clear and obvious link to the picture archive from your main page which YOU DO NOT HAVE

the rest of the cantina I could care less about

here's a nonintuitive question for you--what the hell is this cantina thing supposed to do? that IS NOT CLEAR!!! I still cant figure it out, even after your reply

JUST BRING BACK THE PICTURE ARCHIVE.... IT IS TOO HARD TO GET TO OR TO FIND!!!!!

Im certain you spent a lot of time working on this--but Im sorry, it was not a succesful project, at least as far as I can tell

what does it do?

how do you find things?

??????????????????????

[Flembar]

Umm....... Login is only required if you want to track your collection by entering your haves and wants. You do not have to login to browse the database. HOW WOULD I KNOW THIS??? IT TAKES ME FIRST TO A LOGIN SCREEN WITH NO OTHER COMMENT


Try clicking the Browse Database button on the CC Home page. AGAIN, HOW WOULD I KNOW THIS???


Buy and Sell feature has not been added yet. HOW WOULD I KNOW THIS? WHAT IS THE FEATURE SUPPOSED TO DO???

It most certainly does separate loose from carded. NOT IN VALUE

After you login, you can go to "My Account" and change the password to your liking. TOO MUCH WORK... HOW WOULD I KNOW TO GO THERE AND FIND THIS FEATURE?? FOR THE FORUMS YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR OWN PASSWORD FROM THE GET GO... WHY NOT KEEP THE SAME LOGINS FROM THE FORUMS?? AGAIN... TOO MUCH WORK... THE INTUITIVE THING WOULD BE TO KEEP THE FORUM LOGIN INFO


There are over 10,000 items in this databse so each time you select a line, it searches for that particular line and pulls the results. Same goes with the series. It's simply breaking down your search results. IT SEEMS LIKE THE COMPUTER IS CRASHING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. SINCE IVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS SORT OF PHENOM BEFORE, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.... IT IS SLOW AND IRRITATING

The picture archive is the same as it was before, just more to it. YEAH... ONCE YOU CAN FIND THE DAMN THING. THERE USED TO BE A CLEAR LINK FROM YOUR MAIN PAGE

Non-intuitive? It cannot be any easier to use. UM.... UH..... NO. WRONG

I know you worked hard and you are proud of whatever this thing is you think youve created, but you are too close to it to see that IT SUCKS.. get some independent use testing done on this thing. it does not work well. it is one of the most difficult sites to navigate Ive come across in years

Try clicking the Browse Database button on the CC Home page. AGAIN, HOW WOULD I KNOW THIS???
Because it says, "Browse Database"


Buy and Sell feature has not been added yet. HOW WOULD I KNOW THIS?
-Because it's stated in many different places.
WHAT IS THE FEATURE SUPPOSED TO DO???
Wait and se...

It most certainly does separate loose from carded. NOT IN VALUE
-Yes it does. Loose and MOC.

After you login, you can go to "My Account" and change the password to your liking. TOO MUCH WORK...
-This is done for security reasons. It's how it's done in a lot of places.

HOW WOULD I KNOW TO GO THERE AND FIND THIS FEATURE??
-Because it says, "My Account".

FOR THE FORUMS YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR OWN PASSWORD FROM THE GET GO... WHY NOT KEEP THE SAME LOGINS FROM THE FORUMS??
-Because they are not the same database and the original price guide was started 3 years ago with about 27,000 registered users.
AGAIN... TOO MUCH WORK... THE INTUITIVE THING WOULD BE TO KEEP THE FORUM LOGIN INFO
-Sure, but it cannot be done.

There are over 10,000 items in this databse so each time you select a line, it searches for that particular line and pulls the results. Same goes with the series.

SINCE IVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS SORT OF PHENOM BEFORE, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.... IT IS SLOW AND IRRITATING
-It says to wait... slow? Depending on what you are searching.

The picture archive is the same as it was before, just more to it. YEAH... ONCE YOU CAN FIND THE DAMN THING. THERE USED TO BE A CLEAR LINK FROM YOUR MAIN PAGE
-There still is...

Non-intuitive? It cannot be any easier to use. UM.... UH..... NO. WRONG
-We go by the web usability bible by guru Jakob Nielsen...

I know you worked hard and you are proud of whatever this thing is you think youve created, but you are too close to it to see that IT SUCKS.. get some independent use testing done on this thing. it does not work well. it is one of the most difficult sites to navigate Ive come across in years
-Thanks for your opinion but you are the minority in this case. By the way, you don't have to yell, I can hear you just fine.

Finally found where you hid "POTF2 carded" Boushh Leia and the "Sneak Preview" STAP with Battle Droid ;), but I still can't seem to find "Sneak Preview" Mace Windu. He seems to be missing.

Windu is in there, just not showing up yet...some kind of bug.

[SirSteve]

Would do you think of "Collector's Database" instead of "Collector's Cantina"?

[Flembar]

at least you returned the picture archive link to the main page

have fun with your collector cantina thing... whatever it is
