Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]User Profile doesn't work on Android phone

June 30, 2015, 11:54:20 AM

I tried searching for something in my inventory from my phone today and found it didn't work. I can type something in the search box (on the profile, not the one in the menu bar) but pressing enter doesn't do anything.

Also, while I can expand out the categories on the left side, clicking on one of the sections doesn't do anything.

Here is the user agent as reported with whatsmyuseragent.com:

Ah I see it. Its because I didn't enter dates on the other things. I was looking at "added to collection - newest first" which was what I though the sig used. Thanks!

Bump. Last item bought showing in Sig from March 29. Soundwave combat communicators, but my profile shows items after that.

General Transformers Discussion / Re: Exhaust... the TFSource "Variant"

May 29, 2015, 07:10:05 AM

Here's what I do when it comes to "variants" that are too obscure or very few people would have a use for, thus do not have their own entries. I put that info into the notes/comments field.

For example, G1 Kickback US only has 2 database entries, one for the single rubsign indent on the wings and one for the four. Now technically, there are 4 versions not 2, however the collective "desire" for those other two versions is very small and thus do not exist. Each of the Kickbacks have two different copyright stamps, which you can see here in my details view I have the stamp entered into the comments field.

I'm behind on photos, but I had found some Bayverse folders in Walmart's clearance section. They were in boxes with a bunch of random folders and there happened to be 4 different TF ones. I'll get pics of them soon.

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]Profile search selection not saving (Brief vs Details)

April 28, 2015, 03:28:52 PM

Today when I search for something, it is not remembering if I choose brief and then search again.

I can search for Meister:
http://www.shmax.com/tripredacus/collection?c_filters_keywords=meister

Which I have zero of. The dispay option is set to Details. I choose to click brief and the URL changes:
http://www.shmax.com/tripredacus/collection?c_filters_keywords=meister&v=brief

Now I want to search for Jazz. The search returns to Details and I have to choose Brief again.

You can see it using Brief view of his profile info:
http://www.shmax.com/antron007/collection?c_filters_keywords=Armada%20Starscream&v=brief

I see it also, but it does look like everything is accounted for. My first though was maybe you put 1 instead of 2 for missiles, but both /2 items are 2/2. So I have no idea.

For what concern would you have if the missile launchers did not fire, if you never play with the toys to begin with?

I never considered it myself. I know you can get the missile in without being "ready to fire" but this can damage the spring inside. I have some that now they do not actually shoot anymore because of this. Anyways, what is the concern, that it will shoot out by itself?

I've gotten back into buying TF stuff... I've been buying the "wacky" equivalent of G1 items... or Artifacts as we used to call them. Here are examples:

Optimus Prime balloon:


Another of the Unique released party items, the Honeycomb Centerpiece. I figured it would be quite small but I was surprised at the size of it!

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED]Brief vs Details in Profile behaviour

February 23, 2015, 03:29:54 PM

It appears that if the Profile view is set for Brief, it will not automatically switch to Details unless something is available in cache. In other words, it appears that the transition between modes is entirely client side. For example:
http://www.shmax.com/tripredacus/collection?c_filters_keywords=Cindersaur&v=brief

At first, switching to Details did not do anything to the view other than bold the Details word and change the URL. (v=details)

It wasn't until I took that URL:
http://www.shmax.com/tripredacus/collection?c_filters_keywords=Cindersaur&v=details

And posted it in a new tab, that I saw the expected Details view showing the pictures of the loose toys and the items in parts checklist. Back on the original tab, I was then able to switch properly between Brief and Details view. However, one difference is that the formatting does not change properly when going back to Brief but that isn't a big deal to me.

Help Us Build the Database / Re: skrapnel variant?

January 21, 2015, 07:52:15 AM

I can find no "in-hand" version of Skrapnel that shows Reflector in the package as it does in the stock photo. I would say the stock photo is showing a prototype and doubtful that it was ever released that way.

I'd recommend that someone upload an accurate photo of the front of the package on that entry:

Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / [RESOLVED] Can't escape the profile

January 11, 2015, 06:57:40 AM

I found a problem trying to go to other places from the profile and not being able to get where I expect to be going.

Starting here, looking at Kickback on my profile:
http://www.shmax.com/tripredacus/collection?c_filters_keywords=kickback

In this view, I can see the categories for the first entry as such:
Transformers > Generation 1 > Insecticons > Basic

If I hover over "Basic" the target says this:
http://www.shmax.com/products?q_filters_toyline=844

Which is where I'd expect to go if I click on that. Instead, I end up here:
http://www.shmax.com/tripredacus/collection?q_filters_toyline=844

As a workaround, I can go directly into the Kickback entry and then click Basic and see the rest of the items in that category.
