Last time I put an image into astrobin my equipment list was all stored and all I had to do was pick from the list. Now I can’t even find that page. It gave me some weird message that said I apparently was new at listing equipment and etc. I tried putting in the equipment i used but it seems really cumbersome and a lot of the categories were left out.
Not sure how to get through equipment and acquisition stages
I had to migrate my equipment items into the new database.
Have you tried doing that first?

Not very user friendly now.
I thought it went pretty smoothly. For every item I had on record (grouped into several categories) I was asked to identify a match on the
new homogenized equipment list, done. Worked for all but three items. One the brand was known but not the detailed model - I edited by hand. It was temporarly approved, about an hour later I got a suggestion for a slight modification. For one, the brand was not know, so I added it + provided webpage - temporarly approved and confirmed about an hour later. For one (guiderscope) I could not provide a webpage (basically a rebrand of usual Chinese equipment, sold by SVBony, Omegon etc under their name), so I just used a more common alternative brand.

I have found that I actually have no idea to to migrate my equipment items. I have just been going around in circles.
I don’t know why they messed with it.
Hi,
please see this thread: My device cannot be added to the images! - AstroBin
Please take the time to perform the migration, it helps to make astrobin an even more useful place.

Maybe we can help you if you explain the issues you're facing. A lot of items are already in the database so there is a high chance that your equipment is already there if it's not too exotic. Posting your issues to the thread I linked above my be better, so that there is only one thread dealing with migration issues.
