Ok - I must be missing something as I can longer find the option to set up a second collection - Setting up the different team ones sounds interesting.  I know when the second collection option first rolled out and I did try it out but then deleted it.  I no longer see the option to add one from the collections page or my profile page.  Where can I find this option again?  Thanks.

The same thing happened to me. I was able to correct it by removing '?CollectionId=1' from the URL on the collection page.

As soon as I did that, the green create collection button reappeared.

I hope this helps.

Interesting. I'm seeing it that way too. I'll contact Admin.

Thanks to Jay - I found a workaround.

If you haven't already set up multiple collections, the Collection Link looks just like it did before, no option to add a new collection. If you remove the "1" or "=1"at the end of the URL a big green button will display at the bottom of the collection page. Add a collection, and then you will always be greeted with the table that shows the differnt collections as well as the button to add new ones. (I had to play around in my son's account to see that.)

Thank you - removing the "1" worked and I see the create a new collection button again.  Thanks!

OK as my IT knowledge is limited (and that is inflating it), I don't know how feasible or time consuming this would be from a programing standpoint, but one idea I thought might be helpful for the site is the following:

* If I'm looking at a card within a set and the card page (like the card page link below as an example), I think it would be great to be able to view on that page (maybe below the ebay items) all the parallel cards associated with that card and their link in the database.  This would save the time of going into each parallel set to see them or would give a quick view as to what other cards are out there.  I don't know just a thought and maybe I'm the only on it, but...

Just an idea for the messages is there anyway we can make our own files like you do in regular email just an idea

Haven't seen this suggestion yet, I don't think. When you use the multiple card addition you get an option to chose where they go (Collection, FS/T, etc). When you do a detailed add (like adding a SN card) you only get to put it in your collection and you have to take the extra step of moving it to the FS/T. Can a dropdown be added to the Detailed Add option?

Gave it a shot, and deleted what I began, so presently I'm not sure having multiple collections will work for me, BUT I'm open-minded. Thus, two basic questions:

1. My thinking on multiple collections is that I could use one (or in fact I had set up three for baseball, football, and basketball) to simply keep track of my PC with no want or trade lists. And my original Sportzcommish would be for trading. So why multiple collections?
2. It seemed just as tedious as the initial setup unless I wasn't doing it correctly. So, can somebody give me step-by-step instructions on how to transfer from the main to secondary collections? (Just in case I, or someone else, can try using this tool correctly.)

Thanks in advance for your responses.

I will answer #2 first, then #1:

Currently, no method to transfer from Main to another collection. I have already asked Admin about that functionality (also, to be able to name which collection a trade goes to, etc.).

Now, why multi-collections? I can only explain why *I* wanted it (and I know there were several others who were requesting it, but don't know their reasons). I collect complete sets, Phillies, baseball HOFers, Stars (my call on them), and a bunch of hockey stuff as well. While entering my collection, I realized I couldn't determine if I had a certain card in my set, or in my Phillies collection, or both, or what. Additionally, I couldn't tell which collection the wantlist was for. This allows me to avoid using multiple IDs to track each collection separately.
