****The Diecast Zone - Updates****

Excellent work Kevin, thank you. Chav will be pleased too!

I tried a search, I got the list, but when I clicked on the model, it didn't bring up a review. Am I doing something wrong? 🤔

@perrone1  +1

@geno IDK...    🤔 🤔 🤔    The few "tests"  I tried worked perfectly.      😉

Thanks Chris, I do appreciate the feedback. Maybe I'm doing something wrong here. I figured it should be pretty straightforward. I'll tinker around and see if I get anywhere,  lol.🤔

Kevin, it is nice to see all this information back.  Thank you.  But is there any way that you can make an update that would sort the listings say by year or model, example being.  Brand, Danbury Mint,  They all sort by either year or model (Ford, Chevrolet etc) automatically, and sort by the titles once you pick what you want to see.  Example Brand, Danbury Mint, pick how you want to sort, either by year, model or make.  Kinda like an xcel sheet?

@carsman1958 Yes, you can search just by a Manufacturer.  Do not use the top search bar that says "Search the Car List"  Use the drop down feature just below that.  Click the drop down selector, slecect Brand, type in Danbury Mint, click search, and there you go!  Also, it is formatted so that you actually can just highlight the entire page, cut and paste into excel, and the data drops nicely into each column and row.

@kmcgrath7 Yes Kevin, I understand that part of it and it works great.  I would like to see once the brand is open, that it sorts automatically by manufacture/year, or let us do the sort to say, I only want to look at Fords by Danbury mint in year sequence.  I hope this makes sence.  I seem to remember that was the way the old system worked.

Here is a snapshot of the old search for example Danbury Mint.

Ok, I got it figured out, lol. Sometimes those dumbass attacks get ya.😁

Baloney - like me and many of us, I presume, we are so used to the old way of doing something, it takes a couple tries to warm up to the new.

Search "all Ford Models by The Danbury Mint" in the top search bar and they all come up.  The top search feature does understand more complex requests now.  That is probably the main difference from 25 years ago to now.  I will add more paramaters and sorting features for the columns as we go, like once a list is open, you can click that year column to sort from low to high.  As time permits, it takes a while to code it, and I am working on a lot of projects, but it is kind of endless the amount of paramaters you can work with, but you don't want to make it difficult or confusing for folks either.  Just play with it and have some fun.  I don't mind the suggestions either.  I will be welcoming more suggestions on all the other features too.  Did you guys look through the daily New News section yet?

@perrone1 @geno  See, that's the spirit!  Just try different things and have some fun with it.  I just searched for "1:24 models that dude tony with the corvette would like" It gave me all of the ones he likes, and it also told me about a diner that Tony didn't like the onion rings at in 1998.

@kmcgrath7 

LOL!

I cheat. I have a lot of the old codes and with one entry, I find the results. And, you know, that place is still open BUT they changed the onion rings and added fried pickles ! YUM!

Thanks guys, and Mmm, onion rings and fried pickles.🤤
