Registry back online - rename coming

As an FYI the Registry has now been fixed since the move. What happened was the drop down box variables were not saving in certain situations, which means the year, model, exterior color and interior color. If you tried to edit your entry in the last week, please check it to make sure the information is stored in your record correctly.

There seems to be some confusion between the Registry which is our database of owners and their Caymans here, and the Cayman Register which is a unique sub-group of PCA. I'm thinking a name change for our database is in order, any suggestions?

Cayman DB ?
Cayman List?
????

TIA!

Re: Registry back online - rename coming

I went to the University of Texas at Austin, which has a sometimes-unhealthy (for them) rivalry with Texas A&M. Loved the window decal that read "Texas - The University". So, in that vein...

Hey Ken,

if you are renaming the 'List' and it is not the PCA register, how about including the Boxster owners?

Re: Registry back online - rename coming

Nick,

The Cayman "List" or "DB" or whatever will be for Caymans only, however, that doesn't mean that there won't be a "List" or "DB" for Boxsters that is also non-PCA.

Re: Registry back online - rename coming

A few spring to mind:

The Cayman Index
The Cayman Directory
The Cayman Inventory
The Cayman Catalog
The Cayman Classify

Re: Registry back online - rename coming

Jaycay,

Making a hybrid of Cayman Index = CayDex (also somewhat like the old Cardex)

But I don't think if you had a link that simply said "CayDex" that most people would understand what that link was for, which means they'd either ignore it or click on it to discover...

Re: Registry back online - rename coming

It also lends itself to other models such as "BoxDex" for Boxsters, but Cayenne would also be "CayDex" and Carrera would be "CarDex" Panamera - PanDex, so yeah it might work, just have to figure out something for Cayennes... PeprDex ?

Re: Registry back online - rename coming

So now the split from the PCA registry has happened can we please have a Boxdex or whatever it ends up being called? Perhaps 'The Vault' ?

Re: Registry back online - rename coming

Patience grasshopper, the separation of the PCA content was only the first step to allow that to happen, another step yet remains and then you will have your wish.
Please remit large checks to me.

Yes but it was covered in a different topic thread, anyone who was a member here as of yesterday has an identical account over on the caymanregister.org site, you merely need to put in your same username and password and click login to log into the site. Please review the other topic posted today about the separation of the two sites.

Re: Registry back online - rename coming

Ok, CayDex it is, you should now all be seeing the changes! Have you updated your CayDex entry lately?
