On Order List?
« on: February 02, 2013, 05:08:59 pm »
The "what did you pick up this month?" threads got me thinking, what about a list where we can keep track of stuff we've ordered/pre-ordered, but haven't actually received yet?

Dunno about anyone else, but there are times where I've got several orders open, and it can get a little hazy remembering exactly what I bought. I suppose you could indicate "on order" or something in notes, but that would just get lost in the shuffle if you have a lot of games in your collection or wishlist. The site I use for movies, filmaf.com, does this and it's been especially helpful if something gets delayed, cancelled, or lost.

There's already a "Pre-ordered/Waiting for" thread floating around here somewhere :)

A forum thread is a lot less convenient and useful than an actual list in our collections would be, though - at least for me.

Oh...my bad :P

Didn't realize that you were talking about a 'personal' one instead of a thread - not a bad idea, though!

This is a pretty good idea, and I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up before. I actually could have used this a couple weeks ago so it's something that I would use.
