Hello! This is my first post on the site, and I have to say that I am very pleased so far. As someone that collects for nostalgia but also for value, this does it all. I did want to talk a bit about what I would suggest, as I am unsure of what has already been said.

Add Acquisition Source and Acquisition Type to Add Menu

Expand "Export to Excel"
As of now, it doesn't contain too many of the "in-depth" features such as whether you have the manual, condition of items, and where you bought it at. I think this would be something that can be expanded upon in the future, whether you would only pull columns that are not null, or you give the users a choice of how it pulls.

I also ran into a few games already that need to be added, but I will put that in the other post. Thanks!

Hello and welcome! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the site so far :D

I'm not quite sure I follow you when you say "Add Acquisition Source and Acquisition Type to Add Menu"? Are you using the "Quick Add" feature (on the Browse Games page) or are you clicking on the "Add Game to Collection" button the Collection page (and thus getting the full-size page for adding a game)? If it's the latter, then you are correct, those two fields are missing from that screen. I ran out of time, but they will be added there in the near future. If I'm completely off the mark here, please let me know :P

I've had much larger plans for the Excel export option, but alas, it continues to be a very low priority for me. I'd love it to be fully customizable where you can pick and choose the columns you want (and perhaps have the site remember your settings). Since that's probably a ways off, I could simply just add some of the additional columns for now. I know you mentioned a few, but if you have anymore you'd liked to see, let me know and I'll see what I can do!

Let me know if you have anymore feedback or any questions on the site (there's a lot of stuff and very little direction...for now). And feel free to spread the word :D

Yep, you followed me on everything!

As for the exporting to excel, the ones that I mentioned were the only ones that I would really like to see, but i'm very far away from adding all of my games in (which would be when I would want to export).

I actually like how little direction there is, as people are able to pick and choose what they really want this platform to be. This may seem strange, but most sites that I have looked at try to make everything fit too much, only to leave out options that I may want or someone else might not. Take it how you will haha.

Regardless, I will let you know if anything else pops up in the noggin! Keep on being great!
