I propose that the Forum rules that outlaw discussion of Religion or Politics
should be lifted in times of

"Extreme discourse".

We could have a pre-set background colour change as the discourse becomes more
extreme.

The Green background could turn to Yellow if discussions are ongoing about items
for sale --
Chrome bricks, custom parts etc.

The background would then turn to RED if discussions are ongoing about individuals
and ethics/morality.

When the Yellow background is up - members would be encouraged to post OFF TOPIC
items, jokes, links to cute videos etc.

When the RED background is up - free for all -- anything to change the subject
-- Dirty Jokes, links to "other" videos, Religion and Politics discussion --
EVEN posts to e-bay LINKS selling LEGO instead of just posting all the info necessary
to see it without a simple one click solution !!!!

Obvious typo: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?sID=105097&itemID=15921285

Nobody intends to sell this for $33 EURO a piece:
 
Part No: 3901  Name: Minifigure, Hair Male Smooth
* 
3901 Minifigure, Hair Male Smooth
Parts: Minifigure, Hair

My solution shown here. Hey new Admins, please consider adding this feature.
See my photoshopped red text in the image. This would be awesome.

(and personally, I'd love to know when my items are 25% or more below
average, too)

Thank you,
Todd

My suggestion: stop purging data.
It's the 21st century, mass storage is cheap.
There's no at all reason to purge data ever.

Are suggestions still worth making. I ask as none have been implemented since
September.
Without sounding rude..... the reasons are known to all of us why, but no suggestions
have been implemented since September so is the new Admin going to do them or
is Bricklink now running as good as it is ever going to run with no more implemented
suggestions?

The responses to this got me thinking:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=498526

Would committees be a good thing for BL?

I suggest a committee of 3 people for Listing violations: Have the problem reports
sent to 3 members (maybe even conceal the store/user name) and let them vote.
2 votes and the listing gets removed.

I'm sure we would be able to find members for a committee of 3 or maybe 5 very
quickly and that decisions on listings would be decided very quickly.

Obviously Admin and/or the CO would be able to appoint/remove those committee
members and Admin and maybe the CO would also be able to overrule them.

Ok, I have two different ideas to solve the problems with wanted lists timing
out. Here is solution one, solution two will follow shortly, please just vote
on the one you think might be the best way to address this.

So, when a seller uploads a large number of lots, and then attempts to notify,
the system can time-out due to too many emails being sent. When a seller tries
to send the notifications, a certain number are sent, and then the system stops
them from being sent. If the seller tries again, the same number of notifications
are sent, and then the system stops them at about the same point. This appears
to the buyers that have received multible emails from said seller, that the seller
is trying to spam them, when in fact they are just trying to send out notifications
once. Here is the real problem, this seller can no longer send out correct notifications,
because the original notifications remain in the system as "unsent". If they
add more lots, and try again, it repeats the cycle shown above, sending the same
people notifications.

Please allow sellers to "clear notifications", so that if they have too many
lots to notify, they can start over, and continue to add notifications at a later
date, only for new lots.

Again, please check my other suggestion, and vote on the best idea to solve the
problem.

Thanks so much,

Darren

Please add a "reccommended maximum lot addition" that will fall within the limitations
of the Bricklink system, to the help section on mass uploads. This would require
the help of some sellers, perhaps keeping track of some uploads, and notifications.
the info could be used to come up with a realistic number of lots that most likely
would not time out.

Again, please check my other suggestion, and vote on the best idea to solve the
problem.

I suggest a part search option in the catalog.

The user should be able to enter:
- Length
- Width
- Height
- Weight
- Keywords (optional)
- Color (optional)
- Category (optional)

The best fit should go in top.

Note : the top 50 parts people ask to identify in the forum could be included.
(I took that last suggestion from an other post).

Boris.

The Catalog: Items I Added Pending Approval page http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?myPend=Y
doesn't show the matching "pending approval" image, but instead shows the "Image
not available" graphic. It would be helpful if the image were shown, given it
is available -- albeit not approved.

Please consider adding an option to flag messages in the BL messenger feature.
Maybe add the flagged messages to the My Action Items list with a flag icon.
All optional.
