Hi
I kind of a like to read monthly stats. Though I miss in first paragraph general stats - like number different coins in Numista Web Catalog (I know it may aso bee seen on home page) and total number of (active?) users. Nevertheless my general point here is I miss the monthly number of new coins added to Numista catalogue and also who are the top 3 countries making contributions to the catalog (new coins only?).
Best regards

Hi! I'm one of the new February users and can provide initial feedback - the "My Coins" is hard to use because it's all graphics and maps, it took me forever to find the link way at the bottom to my Journal. I want to add new coins (I have... 4? added so far) but it takes me time to do, so when I come back I might not remember if I added one or not. (for example, I have both a nickel and silver version of a coin... did I add the nickel one? did I add the silver one? !^%@&)

It would really help if the site had a better "spreadsheet like" view of my coins (like the Export button) so that I could quickly know what I had already entered or not. Right now I'm using the Journal (https://en.numista.com/vous/journal.php) as it seems the best but it doesn't differentiate between variations (nickel one or silver one) so I have to click each one to know what variation of my coin is there.

The same with the search - put in "1970 isle of man" and look at the dropdown - both the nickel and the silver variation are shown as the exact same text, so I have to actually go to each result (guessing) and maybe get it right, or maybe get it wrong. For this exact search, I got it wrong the first time and had to go back and do it again. (I have both variations of the coin)

Just trying to help provide feedback, this is not the easiest to use website to add coins using the basic features (the Advanced search is great! I like it very much). I am struggling to just work on adding coins not because it's hard to add them, but it's hard to easily review what I have already added with better details.

Thank you for listening! :)

When you type "1970 isle of man" in the search field you will see results below and metal is indicated there, no need to open the file to know which file corresponds to which metal.

Not sure if you're being disingenuous, I'll assume best intent and you really don't know. It's the search bar that's literally at the top of every single page on this site, including the one we're typing on right now, every coin page, everywhere. Only that one search page (which I put in the Advanced category) displays the details.

Search bar at top (website wide, i.e. no details but suggestions from profiles/catalog/forum that might fit your search) doesn't work the same way (and is not meant to) as the search tool does (catalog only, i.e. just coins and no member profiles or forum posts).
But you can still get the same display as I posted above: Once you typed "1970 isle of man" in the search bar, press enter and you'll get it. One click and still no need to open each coin file.

Hello Oddpour,

Thank you for your valuable feedback. It helps to understand which parts of the website are difficult to use for new members.

You mentioned it is difficult to see which coins you already added and you would prefer a spreadsheet-like view. Did you try the link "view my coins" at the top of "my coins" page (either for all or for a specific country)? Does it help to get a better overview if the coin you added? It doesn't show the metal though.

Hey, where are the march stats hiding?

​Due to other demands on my time, I have fallen behind on computing them.
