Hi,

I would appreciate if you could feature the "pay with card" on the fee
page:

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/fee.page

as prominent as the Painpal-Button. Since you use Stripe I guess there is a Stripe-Button
available somewhere. Actually if would be awesome if you could get rid off Painpal
altogether

Thanks,

w.

Would it be possible for users to access other users' wanted lists?
Or for a user to generate an easy link that could be sent to others users so
they can see our wanted lists?
That way we won't have to send a bunch of pictures to people, with whom we
want to trade etc.

I suggest an option where you can order the wanted list on "missing parts".

Yes, you can order on "have quantity", and so you already have the parts
with quantity 0 easily selected.

But it would be nice if you could easily order/group also the parts which are
partly present.

Kind regards,
Gert

Is it possible to make an export of your order and import it to your own inventory.
Now I do that manually brick by brick. It would be great if you can make an CSV
file of all the parts you have ordered and import them easily into your own collection/inventory.

Should there be another topic charter added (even if provisionally) to the Reference
Catalog topic of the Discussion Forum?

To better isolate and handle the added inquires, corrections and concerns of
that ongoing site wide process?

As was done for the question of taxes, when collection was implemented:

Not sure in which topic this would fit, but I would like to make the following
request/suggestion:

Would it be possible to have the colour already selected if a piece is chosen
from the colour guide.

For example I am in the colour guide for medium blue and searching for a particular
slope. When I find the slope I have and want to put in my inventory I select
the picture and I am linked to the page of that piece. I would like that page
to open up with the colour already selected to save a step. Is that possible?
This would save me a fair amount of time when entering pieces.

Would this be helpful to anyone else?

On some other Lego related sites, you can see the original MSRP/RRP of sets,
which is just a nice feature for historical purposes. However, Bricklink does
not have this function.
I know this isn't really a feature that needs to be added, but it would greatly
enhance the user experience of the site.

Apologies in advance, I'm sure this has been requested before, but... when
a buyer requests additional photos of a certain detail of a set/lot/part, it's
very cumbersome to use the existing system of navigating to My Images, uploading
a photo, getting the link, and pasting the link into the message. At that point
it's easier to do essentially the same thing with Dropbox, Flickr. Imgur,
or similar, since those hosts are quicker and easier to use than BL's image
functionality.

So why can private messages simply include a function to drag or upload a locally
stored image from your computer or device right there in the PM composition window?

Thanks!

Would it be possible to enhance (or better yet, replace) the forum interface
to allow functionality like the following:

- Likes and other reactions to posts and comments (a sometimes useful indicator
of whether a view is widely shared or an outlier; and also enables people to
chime in without having to post their own "me too" comments)

- Ability to quote more than one prior comment (without having to do so totally
manually)

- Ability to reply to more than one comment if the prior comments are in different
sub-branches of the thread

- Ability to edit comments rather than cancelling them altogether and starting
over

It seems there are a good number of simple, plug-and-play forum software systems
around today that enable such features and much more without a whole lot of administrative
setup effort.

Thanks!

To my knowledge, there is currently no way to search stores by location beyond
the state/province level.

Would it be possible to be able to search down to the city level, or perhaps
by distance from your own location? And would it be possible to add a "local
pickup" checkbox in sellers' store configuration pages so that buyers
could search stores based on that criterion?

If you want to revisit a store you've previously ordered from and you click
on My BL--Orders to get to your Orders Placed page. you cannot directly
access the store. You have to click on the feedback rating of the store, and
then from the resulting feedback page you can click on a link that takes you
to the store.

Since the Orders Placed page already lists the name of each store next to its
feedback rating, can that store name be made clickable so it takes you directly
to the store?

Thanks!

The settings for how many items to display on each page of your Want List or
a store's selection of your Want List items are not "sticky." In
other words, you have to select your preferred display option for each store
you visit and each time you look at your Want List.

Same for the order in which your Want Lists are displayed: if you select any
sorting option other than the BL default of "Newest," there is no way
to make your preference your own personal default. You have to set it again every
time you view your Want Lists.

Similarly, the order in which parts are displayed/sorted defaults to one order
if you view 25 per page, but to a different order if you change the setting to
view 50 or 100 per page. It would be great if each user could set their default
number of elements per page and their default sorting order. Wouldn't this
just be a matter of writing these preferences to existing cookies that BL sets
anyway?

Thanks!

When using the Buy function from a Want List, seller notes are not visible in
the list of stores that come up as having some or all of your wanted parts.

Of course I understand there's no room for seller notes in the list of stores
itself - but when you click "Select" on a store, that brings up a window
where you can see which of your Want List parts they have and what their prices
are. In THAT window, seller notes do not appear, and so you cannot know if a
part is discolored, scratched, or otherwise damaged.

Can seller notes please be made visible when we are browsing stores during the
Want List Buy process?

Thanks!

An element/part's number, and a link to its catalogue entry are not available
for items in a shopping cart when you click on the cart from the store's
page.

However, the element/part number and catalogue link ARE available for shopping
cart items if you click on the cart from your Cart menu.

Can shopping cart item element numbers and catalogue links please be made available
regardless of how you got to your shopping cart view?

Thanks!

I think it would be a great idea if we could search for parts and see results

BrickLink needs to use webp image format.

I've noticed the beta version of the site is displaying PNG format images,
and the O.G. site is using SVG images where possible to save on data transfer.

webp images will, in general, be smaller than any of JPEG, PNG, or GIF.



I've made this suggestion to the dev team at Trello years ago, and... they
did take a long time to implement it, and even had replied saying it was a low
priority.

But they did, within the year, and ... it has a host of benefits.

- this image format supports both lossy and lossless image compression
- transparency/alpha-channel support
- well developed libraries to implement webp into BrickLink's codebase have
been around for a decade
- wide file support on most modern web browsers the past decade
- much smaller file sizes than JPEG, PNG, or GIF

This last one matters most:

- webhosting costs would be reduced (bandwidth both up and down)
- file limits, file size limits could be relaxed for users
- smaller files mean that the pages sent to browsers can render faster, giving
the user a better, faster experience

Please consider adding webp support. Even if it's only pushed into the newer
beta interface!

Can you please for the love of god implement an option to save your search criteria?

Every time I need to click the same parameters for my search. Would be so easy
if you could save that a a default or something.

Suggestion: Option to save search criteria.

Sure would be great if I could just download a wishlist and then re-upload it
to my collection! Not sure if the latter has comments allowing me to keep track
of whether I have built the set or not, but still. Seems odd that the collection
upload won't recognise the downloaded wishlist XML regardless of how many
fields I remove from it. Just keeps giving me "could not find in catalog"
for all sets, whether xxxx-1 or xxxx.

So there's been some heated discussion about the recent decision to consolidate
certain Bricklink part entries. For example, the merger of certain parts with
open studs and parts with blocked studs. Much has been said about the fact that
people rely on Bricklink as a catalog as well as a marketplace, and how the removal
of this information is detrimental to the future success of the LEGO hobby. But
I think what has been missing from this conversation is a reasonable alternative
to the current status quo. Instead of simply deleting the nuanced information
that has been carefully curated over decades by an army of dedicated volunteers,
I have an alternate suggestion:

Go ahead and consolidate part entries. Do it. Even the ones with stickers. Put
'em all in one place. 2x3 Slope? One entry. But wait! What's this? A
drop-down menu! This one lets users look at the many different colors that the
part comes in. And Hark! I spy another drop-down menu beside the first! This
one seems to list the different mold variants! Avast me hearties! A third drop-down
menu! With the different stickered and printed variants! That's right--I'm
proposing treating mold variants, printed variants, and stickered variants in
the same way that colors are currently handled.

Each drop-down menu would be filtered according to the selection made in the
other two drop-down menus. For example, suppose a part came in both a glossy
and a matte finish. However, the sand-blue version of the part only ever came
in the matte finish. So when a user selects "Sand Blue" from the part's
Color drop-down menu, the Mold drop-down menu would automatically filter to only
include the Matte option. Perhaps the same part also came in the color green,
with both Gloss and Matte mold variants. Then when selecting "Green"
from the Color drop-down munu, the user would still have the choice of selecting
either Gloss or Matte from the Mold drop-down menu.

Of course, each menu would have an "undetermined" option, which would
be the default option in order to allow sellers and buyers ease of use.

My point is that the solution to this catalog complexity is not the removal of
crucial information. There is a better way, and I believe the incredible Bricklink
team has the opportunity to simultaneously simplify the user experience while
retaining the nuance that has made Bricklink the defacto LEGO parts catalog for
so many wonderful years.

Am I crazy, or is there room for compromise?

Hi Bricklink gurus

Please consider staging BDP pre-order times by country timezones. It's fine
if you're close to the US, but for anyone on the opposite side of the world,
getting up at 0400hrs is crazy (I mean, I did it, but missed out on the BPD series
4 castle, the only one I wanted).

Also, 30,000 unit limit? What the heck? If you get past the minimum order required,
surely it should be open ended after that.

Regards, Disappointed Aussie.

Currently you can sort a Wanted List by 'Have Qty' and 'Want Qty'.



However when looking to complete a wanted list what I really care about is how
many parts I still need, or in other words the 'Want Qty' minus the 'Have
Qty'.

I would like to suggest adding a new sorting option 'Need Qty', which
would simply sort the list by the difference between Want and Have.

For example, given the following 3 parts:

- Part1 [Want 4, Have 2] Need = 4-2 = 2
- Part2 [Want 6, Have 5] Need = 6-5 = 1
- Part3 [Want 2, Have 4] Need = 2-4 = -2


As far as I can tell there is no way to currently sort these parts in this order;
By the number of parts that still need to be acquired to complete the list.


I find both 'Have' and 'Want' to not be very useful when sorting,
as it's the difference between the two that actually matters for a wanted
list.

So I would like to suggest adding the ability to sort by this metric. While I
refer to it as 'Need Qty' here, any name could be used that conveys the
intent sufficiently.


I am aware of the 'Hide Items if Have Qty is ≥ Want Qty' Filter option,
and it is very useful. I still believe that even with this enabled that it would
be useful to be able to sort by the remaining delta of these two values.

Howdy, Friends at Bricklink!

Currently when I view my Wanted List within a store, it shows me ALL items in
the selected Wanted List, even if I no longer need the item. It would help if
I could filter the view to JUST items I "Need", not all the items and
Need and Have. This would save a whole lot of time and headaches. I have a Wanted
List with over 500 items that I am almost done fulfilling, and it would be easier
and faster to just see if the parts I need are in stock in the store, and not
everything I already have.

Thanks for considering my suggestion.

Hello Friends at Bricklink!

I have a suggestion for the "Orders Placed" page. Please allow for a
longer history of orders. I (as well as other professional builders) get to write
off our Bricklink orders on our taxes, and it doesn't help that my orders
expire from the page. If I need to reference them for tax season, they aren't
there. Currently I only show orders up till September 2023, but not before. It
would help to have access to orders *at least* going back to January 2023.

Thank you for considering this. It would make a huge difference to see this change
take place.

When listing a part to sell, there should an additional status of "damaged."

"New" is obvious, but "Used" covers a whole lot of ground. Relying
on comments for the part condition is going to lead to a bad experience for both
selling and buying parties, especially when I have to go multiple layers down
in the rulebook to find the statement expectation. And it doesn't say that
comments are "required," it says that comments "'should'
be noted in the item description." Again, opportunity for a bad experience.
Is "should" being used as an expectation or requirement??

This could also be resolved with the addition of a "damaged" status.
The primary win would be a damaged part labeled as "used" would be clearly
in the buyers protection. As a seller, I would argue if I have a damaged part
listed as "used," I am not in the wrong for missing a comment as there
is no clear requirement. But if I had a "damaged" status, all is clear.

Hi.

I wish for an automated tool/script to add comments to lots that are merging
15th Feb.

Adding the comments, combined with physical checks are very time consuming.

Since there are many shops who have their store combined with regular jobs like
myself.
The time i have available to put towards my shop is limited.

This fact combined with to continue to operate the shop and serve customers gives
even smaller windows of time available towards backtracking inventory adding
comments.

I feel like a automated tool towards adding the comments to the lots is a fairly
simple project; but it could give loads of time because it enables the user to
postpone the physical check after feb 15th while maintaining their inventory
as is with difference in their lots.

Kind regards

At the top middle of the website is a quick search into All Item. Autocomplete
kicks in when search results are available and show the part image and name.
Can you also display the part color?

The use case is that I'm picking parts from a list of part numbers. I could
easily type in the part number and the quick search results will show a brief
description of the part. However, it doesn't tell me the part color.

I think to settle the issue of whether or not bricklink should merge catalog
entries, the admins should put up a voting page where we have until Feb. 1 to
vote.

All in favour of this idea reply yes/ I

(For those of you think that even if this is success nothing will happen please
keep your thoughts to yourself, reply’s are for public voting)

Others in favour of the merger please, don’t say anything, this is for the people
who are appealing the merge.

Hi,

I try to optimise the storage of my parts. To do this, I am using the EB-AFIT
Pallet Loading Algorithm. Actually, I determine the dimensions of the parts by
converting the studs. Some Parts have no dimensions in stud but have packing
dimensions, for exemple :

 
Part No: 2780  Name: Technic, Pin with Short Friction Ridges
* 
2780 Technic, Pin with Short Friction Ridges
Parts: Technic, Pin {Black}

The XML file of my inventory (downloaded from https://www.bricklink.com/invExcel.asp)
contains only the dimensions of the parts are expressed in stud. I've also
checked in the API, the dimensions are also expressed in stud.

It will be great to retrieve packing dimensions through an exportation tool.

Thanks for your reading, regards.
Jérôme

To be able to share short video clips here in the forum, not just pic files?

Even though we’ve had 4 suggestions over the years implemented, I just don’t
how doable this would be, the technical limitations or cost to the site.

But just imagine how much it would expand the ability to help others with various
issues, to showcase a LEGO project, the running of a store, or how to assemble
something, etc. Imagine too, the entertainment value brought to the site. In
other words, pragmatic and fun.

For example, on the fun side of the equation; I would’ve really like to have
shared a short video clip I took this morning during my workout down at the shore,
showing a pod of whales spouting, just to the left of the pic. But if video was
enabled somehow

Just a thought...

Hi,

I noticed that just about every morning that there are tons of deleted posts
about non-Lego things and are basically just advertisements. I thought, what
if you had to have at least one positive feedback to post on the forum. I just
think that would help out the discussions moderator and we would not have to
look at tons of deleted posts. I understand some new users may have a question
about something but this would really help out the moderators.

I would like to suggest we delete any Bad/neutral feedback from 2020. I have
4 bad feedback and they where in 2020 due to delay in service with USPS. This
should not be Sellers fault. This would help all Sellers if we delete ALL Neutral
feedback and Negative feedback from 2020. I care about my customers and appreciate
having positive feedback to help build my store percentage.

I'm sure this has been posted hundreds of times, but I'd love a dark
mode, especially for browsing at night in bed haha. I know theres technically
a dark (blue) mode, but it really only affects 2% of the site's pages overall
appearance.

Not a major suggestion but would be cool

I use the option

View a printer-friendly version of this page [with temporary checkboxes]

at the bottom of inventory pages often, but would be able to use it better if
there was some sort of input field on parts with a quantity over 1 to keep track
without denoting the part as inventoried (check-boxed).

Currently Im using scrap paper; if a part is multiple but incomplete, I draw
the piece, maybe make a color note, and do hash marks until I have the entire
quantity and THEN can do the checkbox on my computer.

I want to get rid of the paper part since I'm already so close to a great
system with the provided databases and the "[with temporary checkboxes]"
page, but to be able to this all digital would make the page much more functional.

I wouldn't mind suggestions for inventory software or just general tips for
cataloguing sets (mostly dug from lots) either.

thanks,
Pete

In the top right corner of the wanted list there is an Indicator of the percentage
of the number parts wanted on the list in relation to the parts owned in the
list.

The list can be sorted among other criteria by "Wanted Qty" or "Have
Qty".
It would be very helpful, if the list could also be sorted by "Still neeede
Qty" (effectively Wanted Qty minus Have Qty).

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
is it maby an option to only allow to post in most topics (except help or other
question related topics) with 1 feedback.

That way maby the spammers will find it less likely reducing post containing
spam and such,freeing up valuable time for the admins/mods.

Kind regards

I wonder if it would be possible to move this option from its current obscure
position on the Troubleshooting page to a more prominent position on the sales
order page. As a buyer, I noticed that every time the seller didn't have
enough of an item on the order, the seller would just give me a credit. This
is not the correct way. That doesnt adjust sales tax or fees. It doesnt give
the buyer an opportunity to approve or disapprove the adjustment either. Recently
I had this problem as a seller and it ended with my buyer getting irritated because
she says she didnt receive the request to remove the item and that NO ONE ELSE
HAD EVER DONE IT THAT WAY. She always just got a credit. So I think this option
needs to be moved to the front page so to speak. It is not an uncommon situation.
I think if easier to find, sellers would be more inclined to use this feature.
I have used it a few timrs recently and everything went smoothly. I've only
had the one issue with it.

I just wanted to write in a Post that Chickaroo told us long ago her motto was
"Buy first, think later!"


Unfortunately, Forum doesn't help to easily link to a member (if someone
doesn't know this specific one ha ha).

Apart using an ugly link like:
https://www.bricklink.com/feedback.asp?u=Chickaroo

Suggestion is to add a member MACRO in Forum, like the ones we have for
Catalog Items, but for Members:

[ u = Chickaroo ]

It would include a small version of the ID Pic and the user name, something like:

We could have a dropdown list choice: "Member", "Shop", "Posts"
which would produce:

[ u = Chickaroo ]

[ x = Adams family ] (or the shopID [ x = 17662 ])

[ p = Chickaroo]

Then, depending the choice, clicking on it:

[ u = Chickaroo ] opens member Profile page
[ x = Adams family ] opens Shop page
[ p = Chickaroo] opens the page where you could see her posts in Forum

Please heavily approve, and of course, that's very necessary and urgent to
implement.
Thank you BrickLink!

To The Bricklink Admins:

Thank you for all that you do! You work mostly behind the scenes making Bricklink
the great site that it is, and for that I thank you. You are much appreciated.

I can list and sell, and I don't have to worry about the site crashing or
things going sideways. I know there was a glitch at the end of 2023, but that
is the only real problem there has been since I joined in 2012.

So, a Big Thank You to you and the BL team who make this site such a wonderful
place to buy and sell.

Have a great 2024!

Hello ,
I have been a lego player since the 1980s.
I had an idea regarding safety issues.
The idea is if you can add the 2-step-autothenticator to the site , in a "security"
menu

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1066447?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid

to access any site after the login and password , the user has to enter the numbers
that generates the android autothentication on the smarthphone.

I think you have already thought about it !
Best Regards and Happy Holidays

here i want to make a new advice for the bricklink studio function

1. Auto fill, like the pool or the ocean, we can mark a area and select the part
we want, then full fill it by APP.

2.mix part set, we can select some different parts and it can mixed by APP.

hope can have your reply thanks

I get regular questions from customers where the tracking information is. I did
supply it on the order, but clearly it's not visible enough.

Secondly, the "tracking no" is not sufficient. Better would be "tracking
link", so the seller can put the whole link in it, after which BrickLink
could show it on the order list and detail, for example with a clickable "tracking
icon", like a globe or small delivery truck.
