I'd like the ability to view only my minis that i'd like to trade. I'd like to thin down my collection, so being able to see a list of the ones i'd like to trade would be useful.

Otherwise it's a great site, very useful

A forum for trading between members would be great.

It's going to take me some time to set up my collections here, but civilaffairs question makes wonder if there is a way that I can search other user's collections -- like a "willing to trade or sell" option?

Currently, the only trade forums I can find are at minisgallery.com: https://www.minisgallery.com/forum/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=18

Hi! I am new to the site and love it so far. Great upgrade over Dracosaur.

I would love to have a public link to my collection to share with other people.

Thanks for the great work!

I know this may be harder to add, but I would love to track my Arkham Horror miniatures here.
I am a dev myself, so I can contribute the list and pictures in any format to help with this feature.

Hi naicigam. I have many of these great pre-painted miniatures and would also like to add them to my database. Could you please e-mail me at admin@minisgallery.com

FFG has a bunch of good images from the Arkham Horror Premium Figures set on their site, so I copied all of them and used them for MinisGallery. CHawkins if you want to add these let me know, I can send you all the images and a spreadsheet with all the names and miniature numbers.

Yes, a function where you can see who is looking for what and what they have to trade with.

Hello.

I'm new here, and wanting to enter in my collection I noticed that it's lacking several different sources which I would use, namely:

- The Arkham Horror miniatures as was previously mentioned;
- Figures from the Heroscape line (which has some D&D specific items);
- Figures from the D&D Adventure System games (Castle Ravenloft, etc.);
- Figures from various miniature board games which would be useful to have when choosing what minis to use;

Is there a way for users to add items in the database?

Regards.

Agreed ^.^ Being able to share collection and wish list would be useful for trading.

Are there any plans to add this to the site? I can help to build the collection in any format that we may need to make things easier.

Hi!
I love the site. I have started adding my collections and there's one (hopefully easy to solve) request:
Could you add a new row to "Manage Collections" that is labeled "Storage container" or "box" where I could add a note in which of my personal boxes this specific mini is?

In regards to the other requests I have seen here:
- Having a CSV download (or even just an export page) would make it easier to create backups
- The site really is rather slow. I am sure having a patreon would easily cover for the costs of a better hosting service.

Thanks!

I would definitely pay for a Patreon to help maintain and improve the site.

Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone!

If you've been on the site for a while, it's probably no surprise when I say that I haven't been able to do much in the way of feature updates of late. There are various reasons for this, and I won't get into them here. But I do see the suggestions and I've been taking note of each one. Please keep them coming. They're part of the way that I measure engagement and interest in the site.

I hadn't considered a Patreon, but I'll definitely look into it. I'd want to have a solid plan in place for moving forward before I do, because I don't want to be in a position of accepting money for updates and not being able to implement them. I don't know how soon that will be, though. Bottom line is that the site isn't going anywhere, and I'm continuing to update it with new figures as they come out so everyone can stay current with their collections. Once I get a few things figured out and a few other projects behind me, I should be able to start moving forward with your ideas.

Thanks,

Chris
