On another topic, I love the new personal inventory.  Is there any
way to enter the information in on one page instead of going from set
to set?

Oops, with duplicate set numbers that might not be a good idea :)

Internally, it uses a suffix on the set number to avoid ambiguities arising
from duplicates issues of a number, for example:

   http://guide.lugnet.com/set/1974_1
   http://guide.lugnet.com/set/1974_2
   http://guide.lugnet.com/set/1974_3
   http://guide.lugnet.com/set/1974_4

(that's three sets, each numbered 1974, within a larger value pack also
numbered 1974 :-).

You can add the _1 suffix on sets where the number was only used once, and it
will automatically canonicalize the URL to a more human-friendly form whenever
possible.  For example, if you click to:

   http://guide.lugnet.com/set/7190_1

it rewrites the URL as:

   http://guide.lugnet.com/set/7190

since 7190 is unambiguous.

But anyway, duplicate set numbers aren't too much of an issue.


How about adding a UPC field to the db so we can use a CueCat?

Little bang for the buck, but neat geek factor.  :-)
