Please consider adding an attribute to the lots DB, specifically for parts, that
indicates the part has been custom modified. This could be a physical dimensional
change (e.g. Removing the clip from a plate mod 1x1 with clip vertical, to yield
a basic plate 1x1) or could be parts which have custom engraving to signify events
(e.g. Wedding, engagement, opening of a business, new baby, life milestones,
etc).

The title says 'catalog', but that is slightly misleading. I can't
image actually having a catalog entry for a custom modified part, when in fact
the entire purpose of the attribute would be to use the existing catalog entry
to house these parts, and to allow them to be found/suppressed (as appropriate).

The description would have to contain user entered information about the custom
mod.

I see you have gotten zero responses. I have posed this same question numerous
times throughout the years. Seems it wouldn't be too hard for the rebrickable.com
folks to put this together, but so far no one but you and me seem to think it
is a good idea. Keep trying!

Haha thanks for reaching out. Lol, I can see how it would be a pretty big ask,
but yeah it's pretty similar to what rebrickable would do.

Example: "You can build these figures with the pieces you uploaded"

And if there were an optimization feature which took into account the qty of
pieces you have and you could either tell it to "Build Max Qty" or "Build Max
Value" so once a unique head or something was consumed by a figure, it couldn't
be used to complete another.

I am in complete agreement with this. I have thought it would be a great idea
for years. Wish they would do it with sets as well. Might be too difficult with
sets but it would at least be great for the minifigures.

Possible kludge workaround is to go into the browser preferences, find where
you can adjust the fonts and sizes. Increase the font size. Then there should
be an option to override what the browser specifies. Save those changes. Go back
to browser window and use the control/command-minus keyboard shortcut to zoom-down
the screen. It won't be perfect, but may be somewhat more useable.

I agree it's way too wide. I have a large widescreen but even here "current
orders" and "filed orders" is off the screen. What you can at least do for those
two particular options (and perhaps others) is bookmark their links and add them
to your bookmark bar of your browser, so you can access them by clicking there
instead of having to scroll right.

I think before improving the interface, first of all a bug needs to be fixed.
This orders received display is way too wide because of all these columns. And
we cannot turn off columns such as additional charges, additional charges 2,
and insurance. I've never used insurance yet it takes up the center of the
display. These columns used to be mandatory for some mysterious reason and their
checkboxes were greyed out in "customize display", but now they have been enabled,
but modifying them doesn't do anything. You can check and uncheck them and
the orders display remains exactly the same. If this bug is fixed, we will be
able to cut down on the width of that page quite a bit, and it can bring a couple
of buttons back in sight. And it will make my list of received orders more comfortable
to look at, too.

Hi all,

when I am in my order page...all buttons are centered above the site.

But using an old fashioned 4/3 monitor, half of the buttons are outside my view,
and I need to use the sliding bars everytime I want to select one of them.

If all the buttons can be alligned from the left side of the screeen, this would
improve a lot.

Anybody has the same problem?

Be cool and have fun

I see now that besides this bug there's also another problem that recently
emerged. The orders pages used to have zoom levels that were independent from
the rest of the site. I remember requesting this in the past, this was done specifically
for making these pages fit. That, however, has now been undone again. All pages
have a single linked zoom level. That means you're forced to choose between
either an order list that fits but a Bricklink that's a narrow strip with
half of the screen blank, or a Bricklink that fills the screen reasonably well
but an order page that is cut off on the right side.

This still annoys me every single day but probably won't ever be fixed? I
need to choose between zooming down 30% from how I'd like to view the site
and stare at tiny letters like I'm doing right now typing this, or scroll
left and right through my orders.. I'd be OK with it if this problem wasn't
fixable but this was actually noted by the admins and fixed at some point..

It took me a while to find out where to give feedback, as neither the orders
nor the store pages list that option. That might help.

Congrats, you figured out how supply and demand in a free market works regarding
price levels.

Nope, the price was 70 for 2 items (I did not do screenshot as I gave up buying)
so if he sold for 60 he is even worse...

I guess it is better to go back to ebay. You guys really don't have any boundaries...

In Administrative, yorbrick writes:

Also, it looks like the one they sold was at £60 not £70. So they could have
been alerted to their cheap price by the other person buying it

Dear Admins,

I want to share one of my first experiences as a new bricklink member I had to
suffer. There is no response on my complaint (there is no even proper category
for this) so I'm desperate to seek justice.

I was searching for set 60051 and I found a great deal as you can see in the
first image.
I wanted to buy one, but seeing the price I decided to go for both. Unfortunately
shop size policy stopped me from ordering so I contacted the seller (I've
seen replicas on eBay, and that time I was not sure if they can be sold here):

Hello,

I am interested in your High Speed trains. They are real LEGO, aren't they?
If
so, I am thinking to buy both of them, but the shipping cost can be an issue.
I wonder how much it is to 4400 Nyiregyhaza Hungary? I also wonder if it would
be better to take the sealed small packages our ofthe paper box and re-package
them? I don't need the box nor the instructions, if you find it reasonable
I'm
more than happy to leave them with you in exchange for this favor.

What do you say?

Cheers:
Tamas"

The response was that he raised the price but no reply. I am sad to see he managed
to sell one in the meantime...

I submitted a complaint but no response there. I am both upset and angry there
is no way this is allowed on any selling site...

Many thanks:
Tamas

It happened me twice, both after I send a quote since there is no shipping cost
table. If you don't commit to buy, seller may change the price or someone
else may buy it before you.
