I was totally confused but this is aleady working.
It would nice to have an optional e-Mail-Notification if a new PM arrives.
Some of our members are logged in on a daily basis and wouldn't need this because of the already implemented in-Forum-Notification, but a lot of our members are logged in on a weekly, monthly or even yearly basis and they might appreciated it especially those who have kits to sell.
It might be nice after implementation to have an informal screen on first log-in to know about this feature and to be able to opt-in or opt-out. Standard may be opt-out.

Robert B » Захтеви за функције A way to ask a general questions to members about modeling topics. For instance I have in my stash the GWH L4822 dual role F-15E, but the older box art version. Now there is a newer box art (white background)version with the same SKU and UPC codes. They appear to have the identical wording on the boxes.
It would be great to have a way to reach out to other Scalemate members and ask question like the one above. Like a forum…..
5 October, 22:44
Spanjaard there used to be possible to post things "as a question" but seems not longer possible. i think that was a great thing, and it will be great to have that back, so you can filter the newsfeed only on questions and see if you can help others, or if the question has been asked and answered already.

Tim Lingle » Захтеви за функције I'm no software engineer so I'm not sure how much time and effort it would require to do such, but I in a Utopian world where everything was sunny & care free I think it'd be nice if they was a way members could rate the the kits they've built so that others might be able to see the quality of the kit. You know, kinda like the star rating system that they use over on Amazon.com
Treehugger I have an issue with a star rated scale model kits, and I would prefer sensible comments, as that would at least be meaningful as a point of criticism, as opposed to some stars that may or may not be a result of being sensible and having applied critical thinking skills.
There's this kit the Dora 1:72 from Hobby Boss. This kit I would give 1 star out of five. Others would likely give it 5 stars, because they just like the way the model built up, being blissfully ignorant that the whole model is fantasy, not at all accurate, so wildly wrong it isn't even funny. Likely because there weren't any proprietary drawings around (maybe secret or destroyed in the war) and their tech people at Hobby Boss just gave up at some point and just went with fantasy proportions.
I will admit that a star rating might possibly give the end user a clue, as to whether a scale model kit is good or not, like my experience with IMDB for movies. I never bother with movies that are below 5 on a 1-10 rating. A 5 in my experience can still be a good movie, based on my experience. A 4 however, so often ends up being a B-movie where the director/producer doesn't quite know what they are doing making a movie.
3 November, 11:05
scalemates As said in this thread, this feature exists and in my view in a better way than just "stars"

Martin Oostrom » Захтеви за функције On builds with more or longer comments, it can take a while to reach the most recent comment. We already have a ‘go to top’ button. It would be nice to have it’s sister ‘go to bottom’ as well.
Prairie Models » Захтеви за функције It would be very nice if when a kit has no reviews, a review from a kit of the same family/mold could be shown, similar to what is already done with instruction manuals. It would be great for something like the Hasegawa F-4s, where there may be 50 boxings and only one has a review, so you could just have that one review on all of the other boxings' pages to see a review of something that is essentially the same thing with different decals.
2 13 October, 03:01
Martin Oostrom That one already exists. It's called ' similar reviews' and it shows just under the reviews
1 November, 07:39
Spanjaard » Захтеви за функције it will be great to have a filter for location/status etc when we are in stash page. it was suggesting that on SCM Newsfeed but since the original post was about stash location it may have gone unnoticed
3 26 September, 15:03
Spanjaard location is a filter that we could make use in multiple places in the site, for example in the contribute-missing instructions
14 October, 20:53
Peter Hardy That could come in handy and reduce my confusion at times!
31 October, 09:03
Trev » Захтеви за функције To send a message to all members with a particular kit in their stash to see if they want to sell.
Trev Thats a very valid point. People with desirable kits would receive a large number of unsolicited requests. It would have to be an "opt in" feature rather than an "opt out" one.
30 October, 22:46
Spanjaard at present, you can see who has a kit, and you can send them a message. a system to automatically send a message to everybody who has a kit, looks like spam to me..... I would not want it in place if I can not disable it for all my kits
30 October, 22:56
Spanjaard » Захтеви за функције When i go to contribute page, I see the kits that i have that are missing instructions in the database. but for the looks of it, the page only shows first 15. every time I scan a new one and add it to the database, I see a new kit appearing in the page. It will help a lot if we can see the complete list and be able to pick several ones in one go (for example if you do not have them all in the same room)..... please correct the page to show them all. maybe a limit of 3000 or something, like when you see your stash, etc. that will not be a problem for most of us 😉 . if the query in the database makes that page slow, and you want to keep it fast for those that only want to add new kits, materials, tools etc, then show the 15 it does now, and add a button to show the rest for those who need it.
Spanjaard i see that we have a line saying "Full Health checks" which leads to another page with lots of information, but still shows the same 15 kits missing instructions
Scott S » Захтеви за функције Is there a feature in the news feed to hide or mute user posts temporarily, or throttle how many posts are seen from a user per day? For example, a lot of people use the site for inventory and project management, but this can spam the news feed when they add all of their items at once. This inevitably happens because we all have stuff to add and it's easier to do it all at once. But recently I was following a few projects on the news feed and they all got pushed out of the way by one user who was managing their project inventory and adding a lot, probably over 30 projects. No offense to the user but I was unhappy to see all the recent projects disappear from the feed.
Or is there a way to filter the news feed to track only ongoing projects, not completed ones? This is the interesting thing about Scalemates, its both for individuals to manage their work, but also for other people to view the work of others, so balancing them is an unusual problem. Thanks.
Snake Plissken I don't want to see any of the following from ANY member:
" " wants this item
" " owns this item
" " started this item
" " now follows "____"
" " completed this item
" " marked this item as on order
None of this serves any purpose for me, it is personal info and only clutters up the news feed especially when there's multiple notifications of the above. Can we "mass block" all of this and only allow new kits, new products, new kit completions, new galleries and so on?
30 October, 17:34
scalemates click on the popular filter, and all these items are removed
berni » Захтеви за функције I suggest at Related products a filter to be able to find e.g. masks of the company Eduard better.
26 October, 18:01
Nicolas » Захтеви за функције Is there a way to organize the projects in the queue in the order I want to build them? If not could we get the option please. It would be very cool if the other projects would automatically “move up” when a project is moved from “queued” to “started”.
26 October, 13:57
HyunMo Koo » Захтеви за функције This is a just some shower thoughts (well actually I'm in the bathroom sitting on the throne) but maybe we could have some sort of barcode scanner? If you upload picture while accessing scalemates (maybe using your phone or other devices with camera) it can scan the barcode and auto recognize the kit or something like that.
scalemates thx for the feedback! I am happy it is actually used
what would be a good location according to you?
23 October, 09:25
HyunMo Koo Well considering that is it mostly used on mobile page it'd alright if its anywhere in the mobile main menu. (hamburger menu) Or maybe between search button and stash button on the bottom in mobile page. (With barcode icon maybe?)
26 October, 04:08
stevejack » Захтеви за функције Is it possible to filter search results by a kit's tooling date? Sometimes I just want to show kits which have been tooled in the last 5 years for example. It would save having to click on each kit to work out whether it is a recent tool, or just new parts / decals etc. If there's already a way to do this please let me know, thanks everyone.
Имплементирано
18 October, 03:45
Eddie Mann You can filter by "Origin" for new tool, rebox etc, and "Released (Decennium)" which gives you 10 years.
18 October, 15:45
stevejack Thank you, I didn't realise this - exactly what I was looking for.
19 October, 10:20
Starlag » Захтеви за функције Is there a way to search (or one that can be implemented) for a part from a kit that is not sold separately? i.e. if you are missing or have a damaged part from a kit
17 October, 18:50
Rodion Akhmetov » Захтеви за функције It is necessary to be able to change the structure (add) topics, for example, you need to add the Infinity category with subcategories (Nomads, O12, etc.). But this requires special rights, I have level 0, and it does not rise in any way, I added one instruction, made edits, but the level is still 0. Help who in to the topic, add categories for the Infinity game universe!
p.s. now all Infinity figures are in "Science Fiction - Other" category
Spanjaard anyway, if you want the categories added, you can provide a list and one of the members with the right to do it, can get that added
15 October, 11:38
Eddie Mann The contributor page was suspended as the processing load was too heavy.

HawkEXO » Захтеви за функције Newcomer here. This community is amazing and this site could easily become the centerpoint of the modelling community and I would love to see that happen. I strongly recommend making a mobile app that works like Facebook so users could scroll and scroll and like and comment, get push notifications, etc. Would greatly grow user engagement. Not a small ask I know, but it's just a recommendation because I want to see this community and system keep growing. Scalemates is something the modelling community has needed for decades. Thanks for the wonderful online tools you have provided. It's really something great.

Martin Oostrom The last thing this site needs is turning it into farcebook.
The website is working fine as it is and an app is nothing more than a shell around a website. And it is a lot of work to keep an app working on all platforms like iOS or the gazillions of Android versions
13 October, 06:58
Spanjaard fully agree with Martin. besides, you can keep scrolling, liking and commenting, in its current form 😉
13 October, 22:46
scalemates » Захтеви за функције On the sidebar, the list with "New releases" and "Hot kits" should not contain the product you are currently looking at.
Starbase101 » Захтеви за функције I always view the News Feed filtered to My Topics. Starting yesterday, I'm seeing photo album posts in my News Feed for topics that are not in my favorites list. Why am I now seeing posts for topics that I'm not interested in? That is the point of filtering.
Spanjaard » Захтеви за функције if I click to edit a comment on mobile version, if i have more tha a couple of words, I can only edit part of the comment. the box continues to the right and it is ot possible to reach the part that falls out of the screen..... only option is to turn the screen, so I can see it all
when you enter a comment, it is ok, you see several lines. but if you try to edit, then you can not.
It would be very welcome to know who is looking after the kit, I am offering. Is there a clever/fast method for this? Maybe via automatic messaging in Scalemates?
D. Ninetalis » Захтеви за функције Is there actually a dark mode for the website? If so I can’t see where to select it, and if not, we really should have had that by now.
D. Ninetalis I see, I hope we can have that soon then! 🙂
4 September, 11:56
Martin Oostrom The days are getting darker here in the North. So a dark mode becomes more desirable by the day 😁
10 October, 05:40
D. Ninetalis Yeah, I really hate that when I open up this website at night it just hurts.

HyunMo Koo » Захтеви за функције When uploading multiple photos to album, photos will get rearranged depending on what gets "processed" first. (I mean period during uploading and then progress circle displaying.) I'm guessing files with lower size and/or detail gets processed first and then get in front of the album. If I select multiple files to upload, I can see it is in correct order in the upload queue displayed below "Select Images" button but when I get into "manage" screen or look at the actual album it is rearranged.
(FIY if you're testing this feature with Windows machine, if you click the last file first and then shift click the first file in the "select images" dialog you can get the files into upload queue in the order you see in the explorer popup. I found that if you do ctrl+a or select first image first then order is somewhat random. It happens on all places so it is a bug or quirk of windows explorer.)
If you're uploading series of photos about some build process it is a hassle, especially because of small preview and amount of time takes to rearrange pictures on the "manage" screen.
I wish that there was a way to sort the files uploaded by filename or at least retain the order the upload queue has in the manage screen.

Alexander Grivonev Bumping this request. It has bugged me for a long time too. Any chance for looking into it?
bughunter Why? Which feature do you miss in a (mobile) web page?
There are app requests marked as "Unlikely" already, e.g. this one: SCM Newsfeed
FYI there is a prototype of the mentioned bar code scanner, in the web page.
Personally I prefer mobile web pages over installing apps.
8 October, 17:23
Eric V Thanks for the reply. I like apps over browsers on a phone. I think it is easier to switch between an app and an open webpage of a webstore to compare items.
Also in an app it is easier for example to take pictures and directly upload them in the app.
8 October, 19:18
scalemates » Захтеви за функције The first minutes after adding a new Review some technical information is visible in the newsfeed.
Kesa Tiho » Захтеви за функције It would be nice if we could rate the instructions in the quick look rating feature. Like paper damage, instruction understandability, etc
Can we get an option to turn off the "sells an item on your wishlist" notifications?
I have 1000+ items on my wishlist and get bombarded with multiple of those notifications every day.
Thank you in advance.
5 10 September, 15:55
Spanjaard it was requested in SCM Newsfeed but i have not seen updates about it being implemented. maybe it is good to have it here as a new request (the other has status "implemented")
26 September, 21:36
Spanjaard in the above mentioned request, Tim asked if the request was
A) globally enable/disable these notifications.
B) enable/disable them for specific kits only
both would be great, so for those who do not want the notification at all, they can cancel them with just one click (option A). but having the B also available, would mean that if you turn the notification for a few kits, you will get notified only for those, and not for the other. if too much work, then global only will be the best.
27 September, 10:32
Jasper Breur » Захтеви за функције A notification system for the marketplace section seems like a useful addition, especially for kits offered for sale by other mates. It could be useful to receive a notification when a rare or hard to find kit you're after comes up for sale.
Smoke Personally I use the wishlist to help my wife, relatives and friends to buy model kits as presents for me, and occasionally when I'm out shopping to see if they have something that's on there or when I find an interesting looking kit in a shop with plans to buy it at a later point, so more of a "kits I may be interested in getting at some point in time" list.
If disabling notifications is implemented I would suggest including a way to do a bulk action for enabling/disabling them especially for the people with huge wishlists.
4 September, 11:27
komoras I just want to add to this topic (I also made a similar request - SCM Newsfeed )
Having an item on the Wishlist, doesn't mean I want to buy it through scalemates, so having that notification is of no value to me, just pure spam.
And of course over the decade I gathered hundreds of kits on my Wishlist and also few hundreds less in my stash, do not see the reason I should feel guilty with that 🙂
It would be best to have the option to disable/enable such notifications.
27 September, 10:19
yngvenett » Захтеви за функције Paint purchase and storage. I can't find a way to specify purchase and/or storage of paint, the way I do for kits and other tools. It would be helpful, so I hope it is possible to include it.

René "Lord Bilbo" Bartholemy » Захтеви за функције So, I moved recently and am in the process of reinstalling my man cave/modelling desk. Apparently, some tools, paints and figures have been lost during the move (yeah, it really sucks), but I can't say what exactly is missing.
Could there be a function where one would simply fill a checkbox for every item in the inventory that has been verified as still existing and, at the end, just show the things that haven't got checked? (some function simulating an inventory)
Or would you have any other idea to get the same result?
1 26 September, 14:17
Spanjaard not sure if you are using the option adding the location to all your stash items (room, shelf etc). if you do not use that, you can start moving them to a location "checked"/"missing", or maybe use the stash comments to mark what is checked or missing. i suggested to have a filter for location when we are checking our stash, but there was no reaction about it (SCM Newsfeed) i just requested as a separate request. SCM Newsfeed
26 September, 15:03
Spanjaard i hope eventually the missing objects appear. good luck with the move, that is always quite a mess
Actually, the move was just from one room of our apartment to a smaller one. My daughter just became 18 and we wanted to give her a bigger room for her birthday...
Everything on my desk had been put in a grey plastic bag and, apparently, "somebody" mistook that bag for a bin liner and trashed it.
