| Hi everybody,
Would it be possible to keep Bricklink 2.0 compatible or able to work with the
program Brickstore. I find it very useful to be able to download my orders. Sice
they get purged after 6 month, it is the only way to keep them forever.
Thank you for reading.
Best regards,
Olivier

| I am not sure these have all been covered completely before or it may have
been in several different items/issues, but we would like to see the following
improvements in the next release of Bricklink.
1. Improve the colour samples to include larger swatches, Lego Colour Name; Pantone;
CMYK, RGB. It might even help to include the Peeron Colour name. Colours are
very important to lots of people and they also have a direct bearing on pricing
(unlike Lego)
2. Improve the images in the catalogue both small and large. Remove sketches
and where there are subtle differences between parts e.g. ....a and ....b make
it clear what those are (in photos of course).
3. Major issue with tire and wheel identifications. The relationship idea helps
somewhat as does the visual wheel thing, but neither are complete and they are
not kept up to date. Where Lego has a part number fine, but many do not or it
is impossible to read. Considering Lego are the world's largest tire manufacturer
we should do better here.
4. Our age old - please allow multiple users to have access to the stores. The
larger the store, the more likely there is more than one person dealing with
it and all of the individuals need to be able to get in with different permissions,
as required. We are based in two locations and share access to the store at both.
That is not ideal, as you can imagine, and of course with only one login everyone
can do everything.
There are many. many more itmes to be dealt with but the suggestion forum does
not seem to be the best place to get things moving.

| Hi Everyone,
I know that a lot of what's being suggested is already implemented however
most of the people posting the topic didn't know so I'm sorry if this
is something which is ready available in BL or a third party program to which
I am unaware.
My suggestion comes around the storage and remarks system, after all most of
us stock more parts, and a larger breakdown of parks than your average online
store.
Point A.
Firstly, when I part out a new set and I choose to consolidate old remarks I
don't find out if the item has any previous remarks until I have entered
the remarks myself.
I would personally like to see you choose to part out a set and a list come up
of all the parts that are in that set which you already have in store and the
remarks section to be pre-filled with where you have the same item in the same
condition, allowing you to quickly put away all the parts you already have in
stock.
Then the next page would show you the parts which you don't already have
in your inventory and you would add those parts just like you do now, filling
in the fields you require.
I know this may not be an option to everyones taste but I think it would make
my life easier, so perhaps just the option to have a set up like this or similar
would be nice.
Point B.
To take this further I thought about a system where you documented your storage
system for example I use small boxes which are numbered. I use an excel document
to mark what is in each box by colour, category, part type and condition.
So what if I loaded those details into a database and the database told me what
I had in each box based on the remarks field and what I have said should be in
there for example...
All new 2x2 tiles should be stored in box 20.
I add that to the database.
I can then use the database to see what is in box 20 and based upon my inventory
it says I have the following;
x1 Black New 2x2 tile
x4 Yellow New 2x2 tile.
This would allow me to do a stock check much faster, and would allow me to find
errors not just on the stock levels but on remarks. In addition to this I think
if this was successfully implemented it would remove the need for remarks when
stock counting and order picking all together.
But what about when your listing items...
Well...
Based upon what I have entered into the database... that all new 2 x 2 tiles
should be stored in box 20 the system could provide me with a storage recommendation
even if I for example don't have that colour in the box already it would
see that the tile is in new condition, it is a category tile, and the size is
2 x 2 therefore based on what I have entered it should be stored in box 20.
I hope this makes sense, and I hope you all say it's something which I haven't
found yet but is ready available because I want it NOW!! haha.
Thanks

| Hello
I also have a proposal that could be implemented without much effort.
Everybody sees in all Shoplists (summaries), only the total number of stones.
I am of the opinion that the number of different lots is also an important information.
Example:
Shop A - 1,500,000 Stones but only 100 lots
Store B - 50,000 but 10,000 Lots
If I had many different stones Store B is much more interesting, for me.
But you find not so good such stores, because the Lots are not indicated in the
tables. (Store B looks at first glance less attractive as Store A.)
You always have to go into every shop to see the number of lots.

| Click MyBrickLink tab
click My Activity
scroll down to the bottom
If you have been in the chat room before it was killed over a year ago, it'd
show the time spent in char room. Oddly the link still "works" even though it
leads to error page since the chat no longer exists.
Suggestion: remove link tag, convert "Minutes in Chat" to plain text for us old
people.

|
| Superlots are a great way to list multiple items for sale together. However,
superlots are confusing and difficult for many to bother setting up. To help
increase the usage of superlots and avoid misunderstandings with buyers regarding
what items do or do not go together, I suggest that BrickLink add pre-set
system generated superlots. These superlot templates would be created by contributors
to the BL catalog. Thus, for example, when adding a collectible minifigure to
the BL catalog, the submitter can also have the option to submit a superlot that
others can use to sell that minifigure with accessories as a superlot. Similar
superlots can be proposed for commonly paired items - like windows and glass,
window/door frames and their matching window or door, right and left wedges,
etc. When listing these items for sale in one shop, BL can simply offer sellers
the option of listing in an already existing system generated superlot. Just
fill in the blanks for quantity and price.

|
| When a listing gets reported and action "from the above" not yet taken, highlight
that listing (in-store) in red and/or place a WARNING Icon next to it.
This way potential buyers will be aware that there is potentially something wrong
with that listing, and pay some attention to the extended description (which
is usually the reason why listings get reported).
This would open the gates for abusive reporting, but it is possible to put some
safeguards for that if you really want.

typical for Customer Service at most companies to actively monitor forums for
issues or concerns. However, BL is unique and the management team has realized
that there is a need for someone to do this.

communication back and forth between BL Members and Management.
I also think some people might be equating Customer Service to Forum Moderators.
If we were just adding a moderator, then it would certainly make the most sense
to use existing members of the forum for this position. However, this job requires
significantly more then that and my extensive Customer Service experience comes

If BL sees the forum as only a peer-to-peer communication location that should
be made clear.
Or that only posts in suggestions, problem, problem orders, news, help and administrative
will be monitored? Topics monitored by BL staff should be noted on the topics
page.
I think the BL forum is different than that from other game and software company
forums. And should be seen and a public communication tool for the BL team in
the way that other companies use Facebook or Twitter. And they monitor those
feeds very closely.
When a post is started by or participated in my a BL staff member I think some
are under the impression that they read all posts in the thread. Comments by
BL staff indicate otherwise.

| The (x10) seems easily confused by new buyers to mean you get 10 for each purchase.
Ie they are thinking (*10)
And I think a clearer text would not hurt things at all right??

|
| For sorting search results.
Say you want 240 of some part, you put in "Min Qty: 240"
Seller 1 has "500x at 0.10 each"
Seller 2 has "400x at 0.12 each; buy 50 or more for 0.09 each"
The current sort will show seller 1 first, but the cheapest option (all other
things being equal) would be seller 2.
A Sort by "Best Price at Min Qty" would sort by the price of the highest bulk
tier under the specified "Min Qty" of each listing.
Another option could take into account savings if the min qty is near a bulk
tier. E.g. Seller 3 has "buy 250 or more for 0.08 each" - buying 250 from this
seller costs less than buying 240 from seller 2.
