News - October 23, 2024
Hey, photo showers! Just a quick update here. If you've noticed the site running a bit faster and smoother, that is because we have upgraded our servers. This seems to be helping tremendously, so hooray for that! OMHPS recently crossed the 75,000 uploaded models mark and each of those models has at least one photo and a long string of data attached, plus all the previous and ongoing show records, so naturally our servers were starting to slow down when processing all that data. It was time for a change, and we hope it is appreciated.We have to give a huge thanks to all our Premium members for making this even remotely possible. OMHPS is a passion project first and foremost, and with so many photos and data being stored, monthly hosting costs are very expensive. Without users chipping in to help us cover those costs, the site wouldn't be possible to keep around. So thank you so very much! If you aren't a Premium member, you can find more information here. Every bit helps keep OMHPS up and running!
That's all for now, happy showing! :)

Hey, photo showers! We are back online after the downtime required for the update. Let's talk about what changed!The simple Makes list has been expanded and broken down into Type, Classification, Material, and Manufacturer. This allows for more exact identification of models and better filtering for future shows.
All pre-existing models have been updated accordingly. For example, a model that previously had Original Finish Breyer as the Make has been updated to Original Finish Plastic classification, Plastic material, and Breyer manufacturer automatically. Other more open-ended Makes, such as Original Finish China where no manufacturer was previously included, may require editing by you to get the perfect identification. Additionally, some makes (such as Custom Plastic) may have auto-filled fields that may not be perfectly accurate to your specific model - this is not a bug, just part of the complications of updating 75,000 unique models. Manual editing may be required. To help speed up that process, editing horses no longer requires a Captcha and is nice and quick now.
All currently open and upcoming shows have also been updated so there is no need for hosts to go back and fill in the new fields - that's been taken care of! If you see an error in your show, please feel free to reach out to us at omhps@omhps.com
This is a large part of a bigger overall update. As you can see, fields like Item Type also include Other Animal Figurine. Later, we will have separate species/breed lists for models classified as such. This means you may be able to look forward to better filtered other animal shows in the future. This is still in progress, but now that the main new system has been implemented, it shouldn't be too long before it is in place.
Other small fixes around the site also occurred in this update, and more behind-the-scenes stuff regarding the overall update were worked on that you will see later. As with any update, there may be bugs. If you spot any or have any questions, feel free to reach out!
Happy showing!

Hey, photo showers! We're here to talk to you about the upcoming update that we have been working on for some time. This is a large update and will require a few hours of downtime. This scheduled downtime will be on Friday September 27, 2024 at 10:00 AM CET/4:00 AM ESTSo what is this big update? We are further fleshing out our filtration system to better categorize models. For example, we are splitting Makes out into Materials (such as Plastic) and Manufacturer (such as Breyer), rather than one thing that may limit certain models. This will allow for more fine-tuning of class filters and better classifications on models that may not fit into makes in the pre-existing, relatively simple list. We are also splitting out things such as Busts and Other Animal classifications so be excited if you have more variety in your collection!
So what does this mean for pre-existing models? We've been working on a system that will automatically update all pre-existing models. For example, a model listed as Original Finish Breyer in make will have the new fields auto-filled to be Plastic material and Breyer as manufacturer. This means you do not have to go and fill these in yourself, which we understand would take a lot of time no one wants to spend on horses they already uploaded. However, if you have, for example, an Original Finish Resin model, you may need to go in and fill out its manufacturer field since those models previously were not classified in any way. To help ease this transition further, we are removing Captchas on the edit model pages. This is a change that will remain, as well.
This requires all nearly 75,000 pre-existing models uploaded to the site to get updated information, so extended downtime is necessary. We hope this will only take a few hours and have planned it to disrupt users as little as possible. We will keep you all updated and share more information when the date gets near!
