Hello, can we Favorite our own messages so we have quick access to our own messages?
Or can you create a "My Messages" link in the Discussion Forum?

Thanks

Wanted List Sort Alphabetical & Filter/Search

Hello, can Wanted Lists (or all lists) default to an alphabetical sorting or
can we have an option to set an alphabetical sorting by default in our accounts?
Currently it only seems to do this when using your Wanted Lists while in a store.

Also, can we get a Filter/Search option for all Wanted Lists to make it quick
to find multiple Wanted Lists by key word(s)? Currently it only seems to allow
this when adding items to a Wanted List.

For example, the most useful situation for both items is when "moving" parts
between Wanted Lists, as it sorts in order created currently, which does not
make it easy to find a Wanted List at times.

Thanks

Wanted List Shopping w/Multiple List Checking

Implemented

Hi, I found by default when I view "My Wanted List By Shop" I see ALL of my wanted
lists checked (I have dozens of lists and it takes a long time to uncheck all)!

To encourage more use of wanted lists to keep customers on your site, can checkboxes
be added to "Select ALL" and "UNselect ALL"? Then if you manually select or
unselect wanted lists both boxes will be unchecked, but you can reset everything
with one checkbox.

To temporarily get around this in "My Wanted List Settings" I UNchecked "Show
Multiple Wanted Selection Lists as Multiple Options in Stores and My Wanted Items
By Shop", but then you can only search with one list.

(I am used to writing
long descriptions myself, but this description doesn't help me in this case
as I didn't know what it would affect. It would be nice if you could see
a picture of what it would affect!).

Thanks, Brian

Ah... perfect. Thanks. That seems to work well. I'll need to play around
with it more, but it seems to work as I can use.

Hello, I'd like to see a search feature that would allow us to use "saved
searches" or enter multiple unique search so that we can search for stores that
contain most of the items we're searching for to simplify the buying process
when buying multiple items at once. For example, if searching for 5 parts, I'd
love to find 1 store that has most of the parts by just running 1 search. Plus
the search results could list each store and the quantity of matching parts.
I know this might be complex as a single search can return a large number of
items, but if you get the item names to match exactly, then it would simplify
the buying process and I have no doubt this is possible.

Thanks,
Brian

Problem

Thanks all. What's odd is that sometimes a color key word works fine! Hopefully
BrickLink 2.0 will fix this.

Hello, I've been searching for items based on the description listed in BrickLink
based on a list of previous searches I performed, but no results are being found!
For example, I search for "Metallic Gold Minifig, utensil Trophy Statuette"
and get nothing. However, if I search for part of the description (i.e. "Utensil
Trophy Statuette"), then I can usually find the items. I wish search was reliable
in searching for all words.

Also, some words that appear in the item description are not returning results
(i.e. I search for "Sand Red" and get nothing, but searching for "Gilderoy" shows
up with "Sand Red" in his description).

Finally, I'm getting used to your standard descriptions, but I think it would
help search if the items also used standard LEGO descriptions so we could cross-reference,
unless there was a legal reason you couldn't use LEGO descriptions.

Thanks,
Brian
