Member since Dec 2011 8103 Points Moderator	When ‘45worlds’ came there were two extra options for ‘Country’, International and Europe, after a few years of becoming acclimatized to '45cat'. Somewhere along the line, (but I haven’t found it), International was defined as an item being released in two or more continents with exactly the same cat number and barcode. At present we officially have seven continents; Africa, Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Australia (or Oceania) and Antarctica. There is a guide to choosing a country available, which is a good guide, but is not all that clear for International. Where some items are International, their release dates in the various continents could vary up to 12+ months, which then creates a false indication of the actual release date in a particular continent (country). Another problem with International is we have no idea of which countries the item has been released, unless there is an option to add to the ‘Notes’, similar to ‘gregs45s’ – “Countries issued in” without flags. For this it would need to allow an all member access to editing ‘Notes’ otherwise it would create a lot more work for the Mods. Since ‘International’ has become so problematic I suggest that it be dropped altogether as a ‘Country selection’ and we adopt the same line as ‘45cat’. This would make it more professional with better details entered for individual countries. Edited by The_Vinyl_Junkie on 29th Jul 2019, 2:18 AM
