The Sightings section seemed to take a hit from the redesign with pages not displaying correctly. I started updating, modernizing, and reprogramming some of the pages last night. Open to suggestions if you have any.

Here's an item's page (Scrapper is the example):
https://www.seibertron.com/sightings/it ... pper/3994/

Store locations by State:
https://www.seibertron.com/sightings/st ... ilter-form

That page above used to be stores.php, which has bugged me for past 2 decades that it said sightings/stores/stores.php in the URL. I created a redirect rule so it should work properly with old links that points to the file that no longer exists.

I'll be going through this page-by-page. It just takes time to go through all of this code, make changes and improvements, test, debug, etc. I will be fixing things as I go. Feel free to make suggestions on pages I've listed in this topic that I have mentioned were fixed.

I made some additional changes to the item page, including adding the store chain logo and some icons as well.

I added AJAX functionality to the "filter" form on item pages. The page no longer reloads when selecting country and "State or Region" to get to the chains.

I'm almost done with the sighting page where you actually report your sightings for a store. I'm not quite done with it yet but i think it is working well enough that it should be usable with the changes I made tonight. I'm exhausted and have to hit the sack. More tomorrow night or on Tuesday. I also fixed the series and items that show up as available to report on those pages. It's back to limiting it to 18 months like it used to back in the day.
