Maybe for more focused attention by both admin and membership alike, a new forum
Topic Charter may benefit the site? To concentrate reporting, solutions, announcements
etc. Unlike most other topics, this one really benefits from expedited awareness.

So structured, black hats may also benefit I suppose?

I don't know, it's just a thought while weeding through the forum for
the newest happenings and concerns with this seemingly ongoing matter.

The color guide is very cool and useful. I would find it even more useful if
the user could select the starting date (or ending date, perhaps). That way,
I could better understand how many parts are available in different colors *now*
(or in the last 5 years, or last 10 years, etc.). If making it selectable is
difficult, even just a single other option (say, going back 10 years from the
present) would be useful. Thanks for considering.

I'd like to write remarks about items in My Collection, particularly to specify
which parts are missing from a "Used, Incomplete" minifig, and to identify
third-party parts. Wanted Lists already have this feature, but serve a different
purpose.

Spam by new accounts promoting drugs etc seems to be a recurring problem.

I suggest that a feedback rating of 1 or higher be required to post in the forums,
or new accounts could be prevented from creating a new thread for 30 days.

I’m sure this had been suggested before, but I just received my first neutral
feedback (sad day) from a new buyer. I’d be more inclined to be accepting the
neutral if it was from a seasoned bricklinker, but I don’t think these new buyers
realize the impact of their feedback. Honestly, I would even care if it actually
fell off at some point. So here’s my suggestion:

Neutral feedback to fall off of the percentage calculation after 500 orders or
6 months whichever comes second.
Negative feedback to fall off of the percentage calculation after 1000 orders
or 1 year.

I picked 500 and 1000 because they are substantial numbers

There should be room for redemption.

It would be very helpful to allow members to subscribe to threads and topics.
Particularly for threads if they have participated in the thread.

With all the catalog merges going on, it's unreasonable to expect BL members
to have to monitor hundreds of unrelated posts to know when significant changes
occur. I understand why BL wouldn't want to push notifications to every member
for these changes but allowing us to opt in to discussions that matter to us
would provide an significant and immediate benefit to everyone.

Even being aware of the merges and seeing the list from the first big batch,
I was caught up in a lot of frustration from unexpected consequences and subsequent
merges that didn't receive the same level of attention.

It would be great if when printing an order there were 2 columns of parts instead
of one.

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.

Except for scammers, very few members post in Currency, Mosaick, Translation,
Packing Dimensions, and LANG Español. These topics should be merged into General.

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:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1244764

Just a thought...

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?

Evan

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?

I think it would be a great idea if we could search for parts and see results
(if available) from stores that you have existing carts with, maybe as a filter
in the search results.

Next Page: 5 More | 10 More | 25 More | 50 More | 100 More
