Jeffro. Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Mike, will the card forums over on the comic board be shut down since all traffic should be moved here? Please say yes. Pitboss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still need some kinks worked out. Because when I'm on the tcg site and click the message boards, it brings me back to the comics website and when I click the CGC logo to go back to the homepage, it sends me to the cgccomic site.

Ah I've been going to cgccards this whole time and it redirected me to cgccomics lol. So I didn't realize. I thought a new launch meant a redesign.

I think that was intentional when you click on the CGC logo. You just have to click on the Trading Cards tab, and it will take you to CGCcards.com It's not on a dropdown menu. The tab is right there in plain sight. The CGC site shows all collectibles we grade, which include cards. I don't think it would be fair to the other collectibles we grade if you clicked on the CGC logo, and it only took you to the cards section. It looks like the card selling, WTB and ebay/dealers forums are getting short changed with the link taking you just to the Trading Cards section. I might request this link at the top, where the Ask CGC link is. https://boards.cgccomics.com/forum/101-trading-card-marketplace/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZunkFunk Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) One thing that I noticed with the changeover of the website is none of the QR codes on CGC TCG slabs take you directly to the certification info anymore. The QR codes for the TCG labels were coded to go to cgccomics.com but now entering in any TCG cert number in the comics site brings up an error message. I know the TCG site has their own cert lookup page but it's a bummer that one million + QR codes no longer work as intended. Hopefully this is can be dealt with via some housekeeping on the backend.

You would not believe how vast the AdminCP is, which is what makes this forum tick. At this time, it would not be worth while to construct a whole new forum for trading cards. I just took a look. There were 15 threads that received posts in a weeks time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
