| Posted: | | | | Greetings everyone, I just noticed that my collection numbers where all out of whack i.e. ghost profiles. I managed to get rid of all the ghosts and empty spaces (did a database restore and reassigned all the collection numbers by purchase date). I then proceeded to sort my collection by "collection number" to verify everything was in order, when I noticed that I was missing collection numbers. For example, I am missing collection #1. Upon further investigation, I discovered that #1 was assigned to some random child profile, in which the parent had a collection number in the hundreds.
I was hoping someone could please tell my how to fix this/what is causing this to happen.
Speaking of child profiles, what is the correct way or the most practiced way to assign collection numbers to box sets (DVD box sets i.e. Matrix Trilogy and TV box sets i.e. Lost Season 1) Do you give a collection number to the parent, the child or both? Same question for determining how you count how many DVDs you have i.e. editing the “count as” box in the personal information section of the profile for a particular DVD.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew | | | Andrew |

| Posted: | | | | Numbering your collection is as varied as there are members here. What I do:
Box sets count as none and get no collection number, the child profiles (films) get a number. TV sets I count as 1 for the set and the child profiles are not numbered or counted.
The weird counting you are describing where a child is 1 and the parent is in the hundreds has to do with the purchase date. You should check all of your child profiles and make sure the purchase date is the same as the parent. That should help keep the numbers more in line.
Hope that helps, and by the way Welcome to the Asylum! | | | Kevin |
