Adding games to own list
« on: November 25, 2014, 04:10:55 pm »
The process of adding titles is rather cumbersome and sometimes means I duplicate a title twice by mistake.  Is there a possibility you could exclude already added titles from the list when in add mode?

Some people, myself included, have more than one copy of a particular game. That is why the system allows you to add multiples of the same item.

Entries say "In Collection" in the non-collection lists, so I don't see how one can accidentally add duplicates to a collection.

The process of adding titles is not cumbersome at all Matthew.  In fact, it couldn't get any easier. Come on man, you can do it.

Stopped by to say the same - (not surprisingly @ a video game collection site like this), A LOT of us have multiple copies of games that we like being able to list separately for various reasons...what you're saying & asking would take away all of our ability to do so; basically = that's not going to happen :P

Besides, what is it about adding items that you're finding cumbersome & confusing?

While, I think, everything here is pretty basic & streamlined...like anything else - it takes learning, practice, and getting used to.

I know that I (and I'm not alone:) certainly made mistakes & bungled plenty of shit when I 1st got here :-[

All of that said - if you're unsure of anything and/or need some help & explanations...don't be shy about asking for help.  This is a pretty friendly & helpful kind of community here so, ask away! ;D
