Should the new alternative to PinPics including a trading/contact system?

Or should it just focus on the pins ONLY and include linkable URLs to a user's collection?

cant decide. part of me says yes definately. the other part of me is like... naw. just give me an accurate database of info on the pins.

I think I would like comparison tools between someone's wants/owns/collection, but I'm fine if there is no actual way to communicate, with instructions to use other contact options (DPF PMs, Pinpics Trade Asst, Facebook, email if you have it) to actually make trades. So make it easy for people to find trades, but it ends there.

I would love to replace pinpics completely. I hate trying to use the new version of pinpics. Too old to want to figure it out. Why change what has worked for years? It could have just been updated and still been easy to use. So heck yes I want to be able to set up trades on it if possible. I love the compare feature of the old pinpics.

This, 1000%!!!!

Yes! People aren't using the new pinpics for trade requests anyway, any trade requests are always through the old site FOR GOOD REASON. So much easier!

this!! I have tried the new website and nothing works for me. Keeping track of pins, recording pins, and researching pins is a convoluted enough process that maneuvering around the old site was refreshing and trade setting up seemed simple by comparison to other facets of the hobby.

It was basic but it worked.

This new site doesn't at all fix what I had hoped it would in facilitating the research involved in pin collecting. Its priorities have clearly shifted, and the "many differences" they have made I guess I'll just have to agree to disagree with.

I'm not turning my back to pinpics, but at the same time if there is an alternative, I think it would be nice to have an easier way to set up trades, so that we are not forced to rely on one system that many (including myself) do not find user friendly.

I know the offer has already been made by a many more competent than I, but if there is anything I can happen to assist in, I'd be happy to. ^.^
