Hello Bricklinkers!

I am wondering if I am missing a spot to put in "My Collection" section
of instruction booklets.
I love that you can put in all your sets on a list to look them over.

If it is not already a section that I can't find, I think a spot for instruction
books in the "My Collection" section would be awesome.
As a collector/buyer who can't always remember what they have this would
help to not buy more then I need.

It appears that you can add sets to My Collection, but not instructions or
boxes. Now here's the funny part. Let's say you go to a set in the
BL catalog that has both instructions and a box. To the right of the set picture
there are 3 main info blocks: My Store Inventory, My Wanted List and My Collection.
Now if you click on the Instructions Entry link for that set, the My Collection
info block disappears, but it's there for just a split second. It's
the same if you go to the Original Box Entry link. Try picking a set and clicking
back and forth between the Instructions Entry link and the Original Box Entry
link. The My Collection info block will show up in both, but if you blink, you
miss it.

Is it because BL has plans to implement the My Collection feature for instructions
and boxes in the future? Is it just a brief visual effect from the system starting
to load something that doesn't connect to anything? Is it just something
I see on my browser (Firefox) that some other users aren't going to see?
I'm not sure, but it's there.
