May I have a recommendation for a website that help me identify pins correctly. At this point I can ID a few of the standards like 5/16-14, 5/16-18, 3/8-10, 3/8-10FB. The radial and uni-loc and other joints are difficult to recognize.
 
It is hard to tell with just the eye what kind of thread is in the bottom of a quick release piloted joint, or what exact pitch a ball screw like the radial is. So it is hard to tell whether you are looking at a uni-loc product or a similar joint. Maybe buy or make some joint protectors for the odd ones you can't identify with the naked eye and test the pins and inserts with the joint protectors. A thread gage would help on normal pins, but would not help that much with the quick release types.

I don't know of a web site but if you learn the basics of measuring the screws, It's not as bad as it seems.
This is far from all of them, but a few different ones used.
9/32X18, 5/16X18, (used by many), .298X14, (Mali), .302X14, 5/16X13,
5/16X14 (Numerous), 5/16X14 acme,
5/16 max. radial, Uni Loc, Radial ball screw, 3/8X8 acme, 3/8X8 standard, 3/8X8, (over seas ball screw)
3/8X10 acme, 3/8X10 standard, 3/8X11.
3/8X11.5, 3/8X12, 3/8X14,
3/8X14 undersized, 3/8X16, 7/16X10, 7/16X11,
1/2X8 wood thread by a few, 1/2X13 Dufferin joint, Schmelke joint, Viking's super joint.
