A few pages might be unavailable for a period of time whilst I condense down to one table rather than one per race.

OK mate, Give me until this afternoon, I've got a plumber in at the moment (ooh-err missis),
posting them on here won't be a breach of forum rules will it?
You just need the names, right? And whether special or heavy?

Yeah just need names and what category they fall in to, and the relevant army.
The database has now been streamlined to allow my to create a gallery without too much work and even more tables.

Quick update folks, the rebuild of the site is coming along slowly but surely. There will also be new features, the previous host closing the site has pushed me to make this bigger and better than it was.

Things are coming along well with the re-branded. With PM and Gallery functions now in place.

Come on guys we want this thing to grow, give me your feedback, tell me what else you'd like to see added and if nothing else tell people about it.
What would people like to see in a user profile section?

Yes the site looks good. I see the add banner has ben filled, that's good.
I'm a bit confused about some of it though.
I've put in one SM unit and one IG army.
but they both appear in SM active forces and in IG active forces.
I've tried to upload an image for the INGCA but I can't see it.
But then that may just be my computer.
Maybe also why I can only see two images in Gallery.
When I go to my regiments I get taken to an "ASK" browser page.
So that's all that's confusing me at the moment.
I assume I'll be able to edit my entries when I get into "my regiments".
Everything else is all looking really cool.
I don't know what else to suggest.
Is it possible to have a gallery for each persons separate entry?
So under Questoris Ardua I can have a gallery dedicated to that entry with pictures of the models that make up that regiment?
Then under the INGCA army I'll have several squadrons.
Could each of those squadrons or Regiments have their own gallery?
Or a link/button that takes the viewer to a page that has only the pictures from that particular regiment?
Then as the site develops, within the gallery there could be a button for all the pictures of each particular race or codex.
For instance, I'm trying to make some space marine Jetbikes right now.
So I went to google images to get some conversion ideas.
Maybe Imperial archives could end up being a "go-to" place for modelling ideas?
What are the four menus for? And how do I use them?
I've just read through this and it all sounds quite negative.
It's not meant to be, everything is as good as I could have imagined.
But not having the best IT mind in the world I find it quite hard to navigate through websites.
I've not even got to grips with the IGMB new system yet.
The site isn't as big as the last one yet but I'm sure it will be.
I can understand that.
Lots of us (you especially) put a lot of effort in our entries only to have it all disappear.
It must be quite demoralising for all of us (but again, especially you).
It may take a bit of time for some folk to muster the time and energy to rewrite everything.
We can only try to encourage people to join and to make it attractive.
That's why I place a lot of emphasis on pictures.
I see the strength of Imperial Archives as being a place where we can display our creations.
Not just pictures of our modelling efforts but also the foundation ideas that made us create the colour schemes, damage or weathering on the models, conversions, FOC choices.
Fluff in a word.
Just my opinion you understand.
I don't know what else to say other than "keep up the good work".

In response to redcuffs
I'm a bit confused about some of it though. I've put in one SM unit and one IG army. but they both appear in SM active forces and in IG active forces. This has now been fixed. I've tried to upload an image for the INGCA but I can't see it. But then that may just be my computer. Maybe also why I can only see two images in Gallery. This I am going to be looking at next When I go to my regiments I get taken to an "ASK" browser page. This … So that's all that's confusing me at the moment. I assume I'll be able to edit my entries when I get into "my regiments". And this can now be accessed by going to your profile, although you can’t update them yet as I’m having a few minor issues.
Everything else is all looking really cool. I don't know what else to suggest. Is it possible to have a gallery for each persons separate entry? So under Questoris Ardua I can have a gallery dedicated to that entry with pictures of the models that make up that regiment? The 2 images you can see are actually links to an armies gallery.
Then under the INGCA army I'll have several squadrons. Could each of those squadrons or Regiments have their own gallery? Or a link/button that takes the viewer to a page that has only the pictures from that particular regiment? This is actually on the regiment page like you suggested.
Then as the site develops, within the gallery there could be a button for all the pictures of each particular race or codex. This can be made possible.
For instance, I'm trying to make some space marine Jetbikes right now. So I went to google images to get some conversion ideas. Maybe Imperial archives could end up being a "go-to" place for modelling ideas? What are the four menus for? And how do I use them? Which 4 menus do you mean?

You won't this thread is over a year old and due to lack of interest it was left to die.

I am working on resurrecting the IGDB / Imperial Archive. It will be under the new name of 40k Army Vault. You can follow its progress on Facebook

cool!
I really liked this project as I just love the idea of all our armies existing in the same universe (even more so than just being part of the 40k cannon), the idea that what we share in terms of fluff and painting is in some way linked to other players and collectors stuff via a database appeals loads.
It tempts me to paint stuff in the colours of other peoples armies to represent them supporting my armies current deployment.

My hope is that it will be a source of inspiration and motivation for people as well as a place people can save all their armies details, achievements and photos.

Sounds like an interesting idea, I've liked the page to show support... but I almost never look at facebook.
Looking forward to seeing it develop.

Much appreciated, though I'm sure it'll be something there to keep you checking Facebook. Incase it doesn't I'll be posting updates on here too.

Nice!
Just realized I said I'd try and upload an army list last weekend and completely forgot... sorry about that.
Glad to see you got everything working
