Well the first thing to do would be to standardize the term "M:Tron" in the entire
catalog so that the searches were more consistent. Thus, all of the items that
currently come up with a search for "mtron" should have "M:Tron" in their names
instead of "MTron". That would go a long way towards solving this first problem.
I will submit change requests to get this started.

house" but "Emma's house" give me an error message.

This one has definitely always bothered me.

Me too.
I wish all punctuation was removed for searches. My claim to fame was getting
Palantir added to the Palantír entry. I failed to get non accented versions of
the names in FEB though.

|
| Apologies if either of these have been suggested before, they are huge frustrations
for me.
An annoyance I experience with the Want List main page is having to change the
Sort By from Newest to Alphabetically each and every time I visit the page. I
have over 30 lists and could care less when they were created, I just want to
quickly find the one I'm looking for. So, can the Sort order be permanently
saved or turned into an account preference?
Second, in almost every place that parts are listed on BL (including order details),
one can click on the image to see a bigger version in a lightbox modal... that
is, everywhere except for wanted lists. Please consider making the images there
also lightboxes, because it's cumbersome having to open item detail pages
just to get a better view.
Thank you.

Yes, it would be perfect create multilevel alternatives between subsets of wanted
list.
It's useful for minifigs or combined parts, e.g. 50860c02 can be bought on
different ways:
50860c02 XOR (50860 AND (50859a XOR 50859b) AND 2x (50862c01 XOR (50861 AND 50862)).
It's useful for multiple variant of single parts, for example: 3794 XOR 3794a
XOR 3794b XOR 15573 in many projects is equivalent.
Maybe nested wanted list (wanted list as element of wanted list) with AND / XOR
relation between them?

Kind of surprised there is zero support or feedback on this. It can't
be just me whom dislikes having so many orders within the same bucket (Shipments)
when they have been paid for but not packed or they are packed and ready to print
the shipping label. Personally, I don't pack an order then go print the
shipping info right afterwards. I, and I assume many others, pack all orders
or as many as they can get to, then go print all shipping labels at one time.
And then still show the orders that have been invoiced but a payment hasn't
come through yet. I think this is the most important one as a non-paid for order
can get buried quickly so it would be nice to see that you have an order you've
invoiced and check up on it without having to dig for it.
|
Yeah I can see why that idea makes sense especially for those who are dealing
with multiple orders at once. I am still too small for that to matter yet though
.But I am all for the idea of making things easier to find lol.

| Hello,
When entering my address in Israel on Bricklink, the site forces me to choose
a "district". Choices include Mehoz HaMerkaz, Mehoz Tel Aviv, etc.
These are not part of our address in Israel, but rather are used only in the
court system.
Please remove this field from addresses in Israel. I fear that it might create
confusion in the postal service and also among new buyers.
Thank you,
-Reuven

It has been "coming soon" for about three years now, so don't expect to be
able to do it anytime soon.

This already exists, use your default selling settings: https://www.bricklink.com/invOptionsAdd.asp
|
I didn't see any setting for adding individual items. There is only one
for parting out sets.
Rainey

Use brickstock. If the average is automatically put in then it is one more thing
that needs to be deleted before typing in the price you want, thus takes more
time.

|
| Hi,
On the "Buy Wanted Lists" page, when choosing a store, the site adds all parts
possible to the first store chosen's cart. Then, once I choose a second store,
it adds all remaining parts to the second store's cart.
Is there a way to choose two (or more) stores at once, and then the site will
distribute the parts between the two stores, choosing whichever store is cheapest
for each part?
(This feature is available on BrickOwl, and really help pull down the cost of
purchasing an entire wanted list there. I'm hoping this is also possible
on Bricklink, but I haven't figured out how to do it if it is).
If you press auto-select then the site does what I am describing, but I don't
always want to use the single solution that auto-select provides (often due to
one stores shipping costs).
If it isn't possible, is it possible to request this from the Bricklink developers?
Thanks,
-Reuven
PS Sorry for mentioning the competition

You've a wonderful name.
You can use Brickset, Rebrickable.com or Brickstock.
Or use your Store Stockrooms on Bricklink.

Thank you for this and for the other work you're continually doing behind

Little improvements like this have been needed for many, many years and you've
made many of them since you've been there.
