I think Stuff of Legends has terrible interface or I can say it has no interface at all, so it wouldn't be useless job. You must be genius to find something in their catalogue.
Thank you, I appreciate the compliment. I post links to SoL all the time. It's about time someone recognized my genius.
I do agree, though, that it's not the best format for finding specific figures if you have no idea when they were released or which catalog they were in, or which range they were originally from (in the case of the older figures.)
Well, to be fair, if it's a categorised catalogue you want, it would be more difficult even to find something specific in this thread once it runs for several dozens of pages.
I agree. It's really not an ideal format at all. If we had a gallery that we could structure with categories, sub-categories, and preferably tags as well, that would be really great.
In order to test the above statement, I made a search check:
In search box I typed in :Warhammer Quest Witch hunter and from the results that I got was on the 5th place the one in this thread, picture included. It took me 4 seconds. Not so bad heh!?
so in order to find stuff here it would really help if members would post their minis with their original and accurate names.
But you're still having to shuffle through the other threads. And "Warhammer Quest Witch Hunter" is pretty particular. What if someone is looking for a particular greatsword or halberdier?
Piling everything in a forum thread also means that you have to sit and wait for all the other images to load. This is compounded by the fact that they are stored at many different locations, may be moved, etc.
Forums like this are a good way for a one-time "show us your..." (though even those start to get redundant after a while) or paint logs, but they make poor galleries, especially for use as a reference.
Anyone have any thoughts on trying to use the Wiki for this? It's searchable, you can add links & cross references, etc.
