  4. I spent some more time with the platform as well as reading the feedback and future plans for this platform. I figured our the user logic and it seems to me that this is on its way to become the best hosted coin management platform around.

     

    I am hopeful this will help expand the community, share collecting themes, and build up the forum stickiness.

     

    I am appreciative of the work and dedication, Scott. We look forward to updates on the feature additions coming soon.

  5. I have played with the software extensively. Conclusions:

     

    1) For someone starting off with a new set, its a good tool as it has more fields, features etc.

     

    2) For those migrating the sets, the data is as good as the prior version - i.e. you can not add to it or utilize the new fields and the only way to do so is to delete and add the coins from scratch. For me, with over 300 coins this is quite and undertaking otherwise there is built in inconsitency between old set and any new additions to it.

     

    3) Many glitches that I assume will correct in description fields, images, grades (MS-58 etc.)

     

    For me #2 is the critical piece and I will need to contemplate if I have the energy/desire to re-build the sets, given the limited migration.

     

    I give Scott a grade of 10/10 for patience and responsiveness which is what makes NGC stand out as an organization.

     

    Thank you,

  6. Upgraded browser. I do not see much difference.

     

    Additional observations:

     

    My old data was moved over in what seems to be a data dump. I have HTML tags in description fields and no sequence for coins as I had them in prior set (by date). Given that data was not imported into fields i cant sort by date, description etc. which means I have to re-do my 300+ coin set from scratch.

     

    User interface is engineer friendly not user friendly. I simply do not see the sequence for the user. I click on image on one of the coins, I get a box checked. Where is my image?? Don't know.

    I added a new coin.... can't find it.

     

    My suggestion stands - roll back to old version. Do the quality control/design work offline and relaunch. I have been feeling miserable given that my award winning set has lost the work done with it. I can not view it or edit it.

     

    I ran a software business befpre and know what it is to release a product. This one is not market ready. Good intention, poor execution. Back to the drawing board is my suggestion.

     

    I feel lousy as this took me months to put together and it seems to have been messed up to the point I can not modify, view or sort the set.

     

     

  7. I had sent Scott a seperate e-mail. I am dissapointed and will likely stop using the platform unless revamped.

     

    1) Speed is extremely slow. Takes several minutes to access individual coins. Database needs to be tweaked for speed. Database does not load with coin description when typing in - further slowing process.

    2) Updating coins is not intuitive. Old version much easier to use.

    3) Import of old data is not consistent with the fields available in this one creating inconsistency in look and feel for new entries vs old.

    4) Modifying existing entries doesnt work (for example upgrade, entering a new slab # isnt allowed). You need to remove old add new.

    5) User flow is not intuitive.

     

    Its a shame that NGC did not contemplate the impact on existing set and user friendliness. I have invested many man hours to enable my sets see this being lost. Proper quality control should be applied before releasing such major software version.

     

    The web and the website was a key differentiator and draw for me to visit the site and if NGC is serious about this, it should roll back to old version and not use its client as testers of the software.

     

    Nothing personal, just honest feedback from a very frustrated user.
