On your collection screen on the left hand side of the screen under the list of all your system you will see a button that says "Submit New Item" Just follow the instructions and there you have it :)

I'd like to know how to submit boxart that is missing as well? I tried through item edit but that doesn't seem to allow me to upload an image. What am I missing please.

You have to be on a page of the item and click the button "submit edit" and there will be an option to upload images.  You can not edit an item from your collection page, you have to be on the specific page for the item.

Also welcome to the site :)

Thanks everyone! :)

I have a whack of Tandy Color Computer carts to upload to the database when I get the time to scan pictures of the manuals. Since coco carts don't really have box art I hope manual scans in their place are ok. Where those aren't available I can also scan cart images or take pictures as you feel is best.

Thanks again!

Yeah - don't hesitate to ask any questions - you're not the only one to take time & need help figuring out how everything here does/doesn't work (I'm *still* learning:)

Actually, there is no way to separate developers. Please only list one of them for the time being. Adding the ability to put in more than 1 developer or publisher is on the to do list. But, I have been going through the list of developers and publishers, merging them with each other down to individual listings. And listing them all together is just going to give you extra work that will end up wasted anyway, as they will end up being deleted.

Oh, that's good to know for future submissions/edits.

Very good to know. Glad that I don't need to worry about adding two from now on.
