I'm working on PID associations for this set. One of the cards contains three people Belmont / Wilde / Irving. I found one of the names "Isabelle Irving". She does not have a PID in the database.
I've tried to add her name to the database, but when I search for her in non-sport she is not showing up.
I've ran into similiar problems recently and I think I'm adding people wrong. I couldn't find a solution in the FAQs.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Billy. It didn't tag off the card. I'm thinking it is because it is a multi-name card. I'll work on the others and return to this one in a little while and see if her name shows up in the list.

If a PID I added isn't showing up right away, I'll go to the change log and find the last entry with my ID and that's the PID.

The automatic linking doesn't happen when the full name is not in the name field. In this case "Irving" would not automatically link to "Isabelle Irving". I find it easier to correct the name field first, then create the new PID.

That's unusual. It should be in the Linked to section underneath the scan. Maybe check the Recently Added names list? I can't remember where that's located at the moment. I have it bookmarked on my computer but I'm on my tablet now and can't find it, lol.

I probably did this wrong.
Because it was a mult-person (non-sport) card (Belmont / Wilde / Irving) and none of those individuals were in the databes there wasn't an automatic association (of course). When I tried to add a name from this card the first name came up as "Belmont" and the last name came up as "/ Wilde / Irving". I couldn't add a person with that name so I changed the first name field to "Isabel" and the last name field to "irving", then hit "add". No name was added.
What I ended up doing was to change the card name to "Isabel Irving" and then "add name" like it was a single person card. Then I copied the PID, renamed the card to "Belmont / Wilde / Irving" and edited the "linked to" PIDs.
Now Isabel has a PID and the card is associated with her. I still don't know who the other two people are....yet.
This set is making me swear out loud.

Chad - on a card with multi-people, use this page (using your example):
http://www.tradingcarddb.com/EditNameMulti.cfm/sid/164606/cid/10537214
You can add links using the full names right in the "Add Link(s)" box. If you know the full names, they should be used here. I'm cleaning it up a little.

That's the page I ended up using...after a little trial and error. Iriving's was the only full name I was sure of.
Thanks for the advice and hopefully I didn't make too much a mess of things.
