    Hi Lawrence,  

    You are right that we get to upload whatever coin photo we want for each individual coin--either using NGCs like yours, or our own. 

    But which photo is selected as the 'header' photo (the one to the right of your name and set title) is one I wish we could either choose individually or upload a brand new photo for.

    For example, in your set the 2003 Winter Games (sweet coin!) is the highest point coin on your set, and so it is the one featured next to the set title and your name.  Maybe you would prefer a different coin or the reverse of the coin to show more prominently.  My best set shows an awfully nice coin, but I'd rather it showcase the 'non-competitive' coin as it's the real treasure in the set--but gets zero points.

    In any case, despite my very small complaint, I am looking forward to when--and hopefully soon--the US site starts using the format the Hong Kong site uses as it is FAR superior.  Maybe they can add the submission tracking to Hong Kong's site, or just meld all the sites into one format.  That would be ideal.

    In the mean time, I will continue to stalk your 1000 yen set (though I am not even close to catching you) :D.

    Thanks for pointing out the HK site!  I don't recall looking at it before and it looks like some of the beta testing for the registry has been implemented over there.  Click on one of your sets and you can see what they have done with some of the formatting for the registry display.

    Check out your 1000 yen set (excellent set by the way--I'm chasing you on that one...slowly :D and will probably not catch you)

    Hong Kong site version of your registry set

    The only things I don't like about that new format are that you can't choose which photo is featured (as far as I can tell, and though my #1 in points coin might be awesome, some other photo might be better) AND the formatting is lost on lengthy comments under the set descriptor.  You don't have that issue on that particular set, but I saw it on my best set.  I also wish we could do a custom header photo as a choice for the featured photo.

    In any case I had no idea this had gone past the beta test, so it was super cool to see on the HK site.  Thanks again for posting (and nice to see goals and accomplishments).

     

    @Ali E. is there a way to give feedback/make suggestions (ie complain ;) ) about the new set format?  So glad to see the changes implemented.
