Just finished the meeting (Thanks
@firechief18 for coming!) . . . Molly went over step-by-step of creating an account and adding a pin, as well as some things that are coming and being worked on and some nice background about them and PinPics as it stands now.
- Not to sound repetitive, but an important thing is that there are over 150,000 pins listed on PP and many need help with titles or information. Use the "Comment" tab on the pin page to let them know any information or fixes for a pin! They read the comments daily, and all the info is added to the listing, so you don't have to type it for publication - just talk to them!
- They are aware of how many missing pins from the years when pins were not being added, and are working at adding them as well as the new ones. If you don't see a pin on there, feel free to add it! There is a really nice "Quick Start Guide" for how to ad a pin, as well as a video on their youtube channel. Unlike the previous staff of PP . . . if you make a mistake or don't include something, you won't be banned or kicked off PinPics! The pin listing may not be put up right away or if it is a duplicate, it won't be up at all . . . but you won't get the boot for making a mistake. Add as much info as you know and can find out, and all listings will be checked by Molly and Joe.
- The ability to use the Compare feature to compare two people that are not you (if you want to work out a three-way trade, for example) is in the works.
- Actively being worked on is a way to print you pin lists (your owns or trades or wants) and also be able to save them as a list and send it to your mobile or PC for digital use (as Molly says . . . "Why kill a lot of trees?"
I do admit, Sis and I loved this! As we looked at our collection numbers . .. )
- A Mobile app is in the works.
- A way to have AP and PP added tot he front of the title of pin listings so that you don't make the mistake of adding one of those to your collection when you only want the regular pin. YAY!
- The PinPics forum is being improved and you can now attach an image directly! How those images are displayed is being tweaked, but now you can include pictures with your posts/replies!
- A few new Forum boards are being discussed, like a place to post your pin mail, etc.
- The front page will feature a blog by Scoop Sanderson (I've forgotten the cute name for it, so just blame my Covid-fried brain cells - it will give you all something fun to see when it appears!) and I've heard his first article and it is great!
- The events calendar on the front page is also coming soon!
I think this is it . . . If I remember something I forgot, I'll post again later!
