BPAL Madness!: quantum spice - Viewing Profile - BPAL Madness!

Sounds like you got some mod bottles. They're not prototypes :)

We have had an overwhelming number of volunteers. I'm awed by the enthusiastic response - nearly 50 people volunteered!

We only needed a handful of volunteers for Phase I (to add things), as too many people makes it hard to coordinate who's doing what. We're currently going through the applications. It'll take some time to sort through them, so it'll be a few days before we've selected our Phase I volunteers, and a few days for us to get everything set up for everyone to start working. I'm hoping to get back to everyone within a week.

You guys rock!

The forum stash tracking app should be released by the end of the year :P

I don't really read this part of the forum often, so I didn't see this until now, but I'm actually working on a few things to help with that!

#1) There is the scent database information. Of course, if you don't know the category, it's a bit of a pain to find things. (I have been working with Invision to make it so you can search between categories. It's pretty much stalled out until the next version, and it's not a guarantee it'll make it in.)

#2) Some of that is available on the BPAL site's search engine. It does not (or, rather, should not be) showing anything that is not presently available, but as I recall, it's showing the category, price, and a purchase link. The Lab requested it not display anything not presently for sale, so that will not be changing.

#3) In the next few weeks, I should be releasing something that displays the scent database information in review pages. Prices, purchase link from the lab, etc. While it doesn't solve the immediate problem, you'd be able to easily search the reviews forums for the name (limiting to forum results/title searches).

#4) To a lesser extent, the forum's scent tracker app (which should be coming out relatively soon) will be able to help. Once you've added a scent, it'll display the category & series name, and link to the review page. I won't be including pricing information - the prices aren't the point of the app, it's the tracking. Granted, if you're not doing any sort of tracking, it doesn't help you a'tall.

No one way is perfect for all situations, but between these avenues, you should be able to find what you need quickly and smoothly.

Update: Commenting now fixed.
