Hi guys,
first of all I have to say I love trampt! It looks awesome and hits all my interests in the right spot. Nevertheless there are a lot of features missing on trampt.
I know there is this getsatisfaction thingy were we can request features and suggest modifications that we would like to see but to be honest: I am lazy! I don't like to switch to another site get used to another forumstyle community when we have a perfectly working conversation feature right here.
So my suggestion is: Why don't pin a static conversation on top of the conversations area called "How to make trampt better!?"
There we could post feature requests and blake and keegan could directly comment the requests right there.
What do you guys think?

It would be great for verified artists to receive notifications when someone adds a piece credited to them or starts a conversation on one of their pieces. It would really help encourage artists to be more active in these aspects.

keegan a email notification is in the works right before marketplace ... with the ability to turn a variety of notifications on/off :) almost 12 years ago
GrimmShepard v i totally agree with trust pigs on that one over 11 years ago
i have a bit of an idea. So if you are on an artists profile, when you click on say a toy or print or whatever there should be a "next" button. So you can just go to the next pice would out needing to go back to the profile page.

Merlin Yea im with JayJayfool on this one the next button would be a nice addition to the site. almost 12 years ago
keegan a One way that could potentially handle that is an adjustment to the 'related items' bar ... if that could potentially keep place of where you were in an artists portfolio then you could easily click to the next or previous items. Definitely one of those devil in the details problems but we'll look into it. :) almost 12 years ago
I'd REALLY would like to be able to view 'areas' (artist, manufacturer, platform, etc.) by Release Date and not newest additions to the system first. I realize not everything has release dates inserted, but it might help encourage that (as would not needing to know the exact date… I think if you know the year, you should be able to add just that).
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
crazylikeafox11 m Agreed on being able to add just the year. I think even a lot of artists only remember the year, not the exact date they made something. almost 12 years ago
Tominator yeah good idea - v hard to pin point exact release dates for a lot of items almost 12 years ago
ROACHSHACK138 Yea, it's a pain when adding new items and you can't just add the year. over 11 years ago
I'd like a top 10 page or some way to see the most purchased item, most wanted item, most looked at item, the stats are there, is there an easy way for us to see it in one place? Or maybe this is already a feature and I do not see it?
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
blake a Also, the most popular sort takes in to account both an item's total views and "fuckin sweets". Like the "wanted" sort, it also looks at the last 30 days. almost 12 years ago
crazylikeafox11 m @Blake - that's good to know that the "fucking sweet" function matters in some way. I didn't realize that it adds towards an item's popularity. Good to know! almost 12 years ago
It'd be nice to have a little script pop up telling you the item name & artist when you hoover over an item in the library. I know it tells you in the link status bar, but not everyone has the status bar enabled. I don't know if that would conflict with the ability to use the "have, want, deal" feature though.
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
crazylikeafox11 m @keegan - Yeah, I thought it might be kind of awkward b/c of the options to easily add it to you have/ wants but thought I'd throw it out there. It'd be cool if it could be eventually be worked in, but by no means a necessity. almost 12 years ago
Another feature i'd like to see is a gallery for every portfolio where we could for example:
- show of the display of our collection (personal portfolio)
- show pictures from a release party etc. (event portfolio)
- show pictures from the factory / staff etc (manufacturer portfolio)
- show prototypes, unused designs, molds etc (platform portfolio)
I for myself wouldbe very interested to see a little bit behind the scenes of this industry and I think this would be another way to keep peoples hooked on the site because there would be a lot more to discover!
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
a mobile version for the website (or an app) could me cool cause with all theses pictures (and ad) the website is hard to use on a mobile phone.
and if you just want to see some notifications (no update by mail ??), or new items, and "light website" could be cool for daily use
over 11 years ago · Comment ·
- it could be cool to class members by country for research
- open the marketplace as soon as possible
over 11 years ago · Comment ·
Easily_Amused That would be cool to have a page where you can view fellow members by State/Country or at least know the number of people who collect in your area. over 11 years ago
Also, a character count on comments would be nice since there is a limit. Or at least something to let you know there's a limit. It's not a big deal, but would be nice.
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
Easily_Amused Agree! I'm wordy and hit the wall all the time and then I have to figure out how much to edit away. almost 12 years ago
crazylikeafox11 m Or then you have to make the decision to just add a new response instead of multiple comments. almost 12 years ago
statusquo Agree, upvote for you. almost 12 years ago
This should not only be limited to the conversations area like the FAQ section but should be a overall "suggestion box". For example here are a few things i am missing on trampt / would like to see on trampt:
- Size indicator in library / overview (100%, 400%, 3'', 10'' etc.)
- Feature to find fellow collectors in my country or a specific other country
- Bookmark feature (to highlight toys i'd like to come back to, instead of using the want button, maybe a list where i can see all my "fucking sweet" likes)
- Feature to flag items/pictures that need to be cleaned up
- Area for Mods, where we can see all the flagged toys, so that we can help you guys out a little more (delete dupes etc.)
And so on :D
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
blake a As for an admin page for managing flags, we currently have this but it isn't quite "production ready" yet. Hopefully soon, so we can release it to mods. almost 12 years ago
deadlemming m yeah Blake, I know you are already busy, we will make sure to keep you busy ;) almost 12 years ago
The static convesation "How to make trampt better!?" would nice!
for myself, I'd love to be able to organise my collection, have/deal/want tabs I mean. And not only be able to search in those sections because you have to add all your toys again in the order you wish for it and when you add a new one you got to do it again :/
Anyway this site is already awesome :) thanks guys!

I know I've mentioned it elsewhere (as have others), but thought I'd add it here. Banners or buttons for forums and webpages would be good to help promote the site. Perhaps if members wanted to make them & share, there could be a spot on the site to upload them that would provide the user with rep.
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
crazylikeafox11 m I'm referring to the images you can put in your signature on various forums that would then link people back to the site here. If you're active on forums, you've probably seen them. almost 12 years ago
Easily_Amused Is this a Face Book thing? LOL, I think I'm one step above a Ludite... almost 12 years ago
I'm really turned off by a lot of the images lately. We tried to keep the library clean, but for a while people keep posting images with backgrounds, cut of toys, even sketches of a release.
Also, there's noone trying to update older items, trying to edit missing details. maybe because you don't get as many reputation points for uploading a new (clean) image, or adding release dates etc. So I think you should look into this, I think there's still a lot of things that need to be entered into the library!
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
blake a not trying to invalidate your points, because you have good ones, but we are trying to prioritize what people are asking for -- mainly centered around buying & selling -- and we can't worry about image quality in the short term with so much else to do. we are hoping to rely in part on the community in the meantime to help us curate the library. so far, users have been generally really great about that stuff. almost 12 years ago
When you have searched an artist in the library and then clicked on an item - when you then click the back button could the library remember the artist you has originally search for instead of resetting the search field back to empty?
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
Easily_Amused I end up clicking on the artists name link in the top left corner to get back to their stuff. almost 12 years ago
Tominator cool i will remember that in future :) almost 12 years ago
Easily_Amused No worries. also you can do the same with manufacturer if you find they make real quality products and you want to see what else they produced. The platform also lets you view other items in a series. almost 12 years ago
You should be able to "poke" other users! ;)
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
crazylikeafox11 m I'd prefer to throw things at other users. *crazylikeafox11 throws Paw Raw at pause* almost 12 years ago
I had another idea... A lot of blogs not related to Toy Art have a glossary of terms index. Why not add one here?
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
Easily_Amused Sweet! I look forward to it. almost 12 years ago
I think you guys have got the balance just right here at Trampt Co. I suggest only minimal changes; I mean if it ain't broke don't fix, change or meddle with it like Facebook is continually doing when there's no need to. That's a compliment by the way!!! ^_^
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
GrimmShepard v so true, i stepped away from facebook for a few months and when i tried to come back to it the interface had changed so much i didn't even know what i was looking at over 11 years ago
not sure if this has been said or not. (sorry if i look at all the other stuff i'll prob forget what i was gonna say)
It would be cool to make a post/comment on an artists page. But they should also have the ability to delete posts.
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
blake a One thing you can do currently is start an open conversation and simply tag the artist's name. That way the artist himself/herself (as well as other users) can see what you are saying about them when they visit their own portfolio. If it is specific to a item, you can obviously post comments on the item, and the artist who made it can similarly see the convo on their portfolio Conversations tab. almost 12 years ago
blake a Adding comments directly to a portfolio we may add at some point, but we would rather people use Conversations for this. almost 12 years ago
GrimmShepard v i totally agree over 11 years ago
To get this thing started here my first feature update request:
At the conversations overview I would like to see who the last person was that added a comment or reply to a conversation and when. Also it would be nice to see which conversations are new since i last visited the conversations area / trampt.
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
be nice if the "release date" transfered with "event/show" when posting. or a drop down calendar to click on the date instead of entering manually every time would be nice too
over 11 years ago · Comment ·
How about enabling to copy and paste to the conversation. Everytime i want to copy something from another website and paste it to a conversation it doesnt let me. I think that would help a lot and maybe more people would post and start more convversations.
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
Another suggestion: Adding an optional event/show area to designer toys. I say optional, meaning it's there when you enter or edit but doesn't show up in the info bar unless something is entered. (I have no idea if that's too tricky to set up that way, but thought I'd suggest it--I could see it taking up too much space otherwise and that being the reason it was left off.) Some things are made for conventions like SDCC and it'd be nice to be able to click on the SDCC (year) link to see those as well. A good example is Scribe's The Resound Field Guide Spice Edition was an SDCC exclusive but it's not linked to the SDCC event with the current setup.

Easily_Amused Sounds interesting to me. But, I'm wondering why not have a national calendar for upcoming events (at least I haven't found it yet)... almost 12 years ago
i'd like to stress again that a size indicator (at least for toys) would really be helpfull! how about a colorcoded system:
yellow - 1'' to 7'' (3'' dunny, 100% be@rbrick, 7'' munny etc.)
orange - 7'' to 15'' (400% be@bricks, paw, madl etc.)
red - 15'' - 30'' (1000% be@rbrick, 20'' dunny, etc.)
violett - everything above
grey - no size information provided
maybe if you hover over an item in the library there could be another button below the + sign colored as described above and if you hover over that button you could see the exact size of the toy.
just a suggestion :D
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
statusquo Along with that, it would be interesting if there was a notification of blank fields that could be filled in on an item. I keep clicking through each item, then edit, then see if anyone left things out. If there was a colored flag off to the size to indicate blank fields or something??? It would make it easier to fill in the blanks. almost 12 years ago
Is there a way to rate the pieces in your collection? If people stop by and look at my junk I'd like them to know which pieces I consider the best/key.
almost 12 years ago · Comment ·
Easily_Amused Better choice of words would be to curate your collection to convay your ideas behind its assembly, and maybe be able to show off your pics of your collection on your page (this last part just occured to me while typing and I haven't looked to see if you can do this). almost 12 years ago
crazylikeafox11 m Thinking about this more, I think this would helpful but probably built into the marketplace somehow. Right now, I imagine the preference would be for you to start a discussion on the toys you really love. almost 12 years ago
Easily_Amused I get that, but I'm thinking more of a passive thing that isn't saying to the entire community only those who care to look. almost 12 years ago
