(...) I hate to resurrect this thread, but I've also noted another trend which disturbs me. I have been adding my name to the sets which I own, which means that I have been cycling through quite a few listings in the set database. I have run across (...)

(...) I don't like it either, especially when it shows up right in your face on a set DB page. For reasons of server load and the above, I've moved the notes and buy/sell/own listings to subpages that you can click up if you want to see them. It (...)

I personally would like the 4 sub pages on a single page. Formatted the way it used to be, just separately. (I actually liked the cookies idea best, so i could have the option, but i'll settle for the above :) ) 4 pages is not "at a glance". (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.database)
