| 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.

|
| 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.

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.

|
| 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.

|
| BrickLink should setup a system where a seller would need to have a credit card
to sell on BL, and BL charges the seller a small amount (say $5) to setup the
store, and activate it, and verify the seller's information that is on BL against
the credit card.
The $5 would offset any costs associated with checking names/addresses. Once
BL has a card # and a charge on it, they can verify the name and address to the
card, and they know that they are dealing with a real person, at a real address.
Or, maybe make this an option, and have a store icon that shows that the seller
is verified.
Or, perhaps make this a requirement only if the seller wishes to sell high value
products, or lots of items valued at a high value.
I would gladly do this for my store, to show that I'm legit and serious about
selling.

Resistance is futile.

|
| Would be nice to have the ability to make one or more wanted lists "public" so
that if a link was provided to the list other folks could see the list. This
would work similar to Amazon.com wish list in that others can see but not edit
the list.
In my mind, this would be a check box on the wanted list settings (and creation)
screen. Default would be unchecked (meaning private).
[X] Public List
It would be useful in facilitating purchases for gifts (like little Tommy wants
a bunch of batman minifigs so he adds it to his wish list so grandma can buy
one for him by viewing his list), and for facilitating trading because people
can see what the seller would like as payment for the trade items.
Everything else about the wanted list would work the same as it does now - except
that if viewing by someone other then the owner there would be no editing fields
available.

A forum where you cannot be banned. You can speak your mind, argue like an idiot,
mock people, attack people at will, be a jerk, be a jack wagon, or whatever else
you wish.
THIS WOULD BE AN OPT IN ONLY with an adult warning on it!
Think it would be fun.
This forum would NOT be listed on the forum post stats! And it would be a no
man's land for banned and unbanned people alike.
If it gets out of hand NO SUPPORT AT ALL BY MODS/ADMIN/G-D.
Since it would be an opt in ONLY, just do not go there if you do not wish to
be offended!
Great idea.
I would like to see it called THE WILD, WILD FORUM (with a cowboy and Indian
as the icon's for it).

|
| There may be an action for this that is similar and I don't know about it, but
here is my random suggestion anyway.
I operate out of two locations, one location has my personal collection (home),
and my apartment has my store. I commonly visit home and need items from my store
at my apartment. I believe it could be nice to have the ability to shop in your
own store and place an order with your self, that way you have a nice record
of everything you want to take from your own store and it would remove it from
your own store in one action. OF COURSE!! you would not be able to feedback
yourself, and this transaction would not effect the price guide, it would have
to be a separate system. For example, you build your cart in your own store,
and on the check out page select "personal order" so that your "order" is not
technically a Bricklink order. I hope this makes sense. And if something like
this exist, please let me know because I will use it like crazy!

|
| Based on the discussion of this post:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=599326
A formal suggestion to update to the Help Desk to include:
"BrickLink is fully committed to fair and honest competition among all sellers
who use this site. Compliance with applicable laws is the best means by which
to ensure that such competition is fair and honest. Although it is not BrickLink's
job to police or enforce those laws, for the benefit of the entire BrickLink
community and to put into practice the commitment noted above, we reserve the
right to take action against any members we reasonably believe have violated
any laws to gain an unfair competitive advantage over other members. Such action
may include a warning, temporary suspension of site privileges, or termination
of membership for repeat offenders. We believe a clean honest marketplace best
serves the interests of BrickLink and all its members. If you cannot play fairly
with others, you may be asked to play elsewhere."
In addition, add "Buyer requested customs fraud" as a reason for sellers to cancel
an order AND to remove feedback (but, for feedback removal, only if the request
is made in the Order Comments or via a BrickLink message which can be easily
confirmed by Admin, or if undisputed by the buyer).

| 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 !!!!

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,

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.

Love the wanted list, but a few things are hit and miss. I think one of the misses
is when browsing a store with a large wanted list, you often get multiple hits
for items (new & used) so I figured why not choose which you want to see when
you get to a store.
Here's what it could look like.

|
| I do know 'pending items' are pending for a reason: no one offically has them
yet, Lego has not released them for sale or display. However, I'm assuming the
people who add certain 'pending items' to the catalog have inside info that the
general population doesn't have. Please let me know if I am wrong, but items
that are currently pending have a high probably of officially being released?
My suggestion would allow items pending on Bricklink (i.e. soon-to-be-released
sets) to be added to an individual's wanted list now. That way someone could
be notified as soon as someone else on Bricklink is either selling the set or
inventorying it.
Example: I'm very interested in set 8110-1 Unimog U400. When will it officially
come out? Either I have no general idea, or I've missed a thread somewhere giving
these details. Or maybe I suck at Online researching. What better, and more lazy,
idea than to let Bricklink's wanted list notifications send me a message?
Just throwing another suggestion on the table for ya'! Thanks for reading,

I think that would be better for the trading on here, so that you don't have
to poke around trying to find what someone wants...

|
| My first suggestion. It probably won't be implemented, but it's worth a shot.
Let's say I'm looking for one of these:
I add it to My Wanted List as a "New" conditioned set. I also want it to be
"Complete" or "Sealed". There is no option for this, so when I look for the
set through my wanted list, I see new sets, but not necessarily complete or sealed
sets.
I have to manually check the shops to see if it's not just the "Jeep Only" or
something like that.
Do you think that we could get something that would add a sub-condition to the
filter for wanted lists?
If there is something like this already, please reply with a link and let mods
cancel the thread.
Thanks in advance,

|
| I would like to recommend that after placing items in a shopping cart, my wanted
list gets updated to indicate that the item/quantity that has been allocated
for purchase (in x shopping cart at y store for example).
The justification is that I frequently find that not all my wanted list items
are satisfied by one vendor so I end up exerting alot of effort to manage what
I've allocated and what's remaining.
With this feature it could be possible to better determine the full actual cost
of the wanted list collection before committing to a purchase - which would be
the case today. This feature would allow shoppers to maximize the lowest price
or most convenient approach to purchasing parts before making any actual commitment.

|
| There should be an option to get both the "Cheapest Match" and "Close Match"
for your Wanted list.
Cheapest Match Idea: This would compare stores that have all of your wanted
items and meet the minimum quantity needed by total price. It could calculate
the total cost to buy all of those items at the minimum quantity from each store
within the results and compare them in order to provide the cheapest store with
the best overall price. I have seen stores that have all my items charging $600
for the parts and then seeing another store with the same parts charging less
than $150. It would be nice to know which store is the cheapest for my particular
wanted list right off the bat rather than sifting through and filling 100s of
carts with items just to find out manually.
Close Match Idea: For example if you have 3 items set with a minimum quanity
of say 30x, there could be a store that has 30x of two items wanted and only
29x of the third item and because of that the store won't show at all. When
in reality it would be helpful to use that store if there is nothing better just
to minimize the amount of separate orders needed to fulfill your needs. If it
showed close matches it would not only offer more options but would eliminate
the need to keep changing your wanted list quantities trying to find a store
that carries all of your items closest to the quantity you need. So you could
get 29 of that item and know that you only need to add 1x that part in another
order to complete your wanted list.
So you would have the following filters:
Exact Match - The current feature that will only show stores with all your wanted
items that meet the minimum requirement set.
Close Match - This would show stores that have all of your wanted items but a
few of them do not meet the minimum requirement. It could maybe calculate that
at least 90% of the items wanted meet the minimum requirement OR it could calculate
whether all of the items meet at least 80-90% of the minimum requirement. Whichever
produces the best results.
Thanks for reading.

| Dear Admin,
When viewing "Items On My Wanted List" in a store it shows "xx Lots Found".
The Wanted List quantity is not shown.
Please add the option to remove "(Ignoring My Wanted Qty and Price Criteria)".
The system would display the Wanted quantity per List as on the "By Shop" tab.
This option makes it easier to see how many wanted lots remain.
This new option could be added as checkbox on this page: http://www.bricklink.com/wantedSettings.asp.
Thank you for reading.

|
| Not sure if this has been suggested before but I didn't find it in a cursory
search.
It would be nice if you could mass-select the Notify checkbox for all the items
in the edit view of a wanted list, just like you can do with the Move, Delete,
and Query Shops options.
For instance, I uploaded an XML wanted list (omitting the NOTIFY tag) - now I'd
like to change them all to NOT notify without having to select each item's checkbox
individually.
I could be missing a setting that dictates the default value for NOTIFY when
uploading items but this would still be a useful addition I think. Thoughts?

In this day and age, people expect that websites will generally work seamlessly
for all browsers. That is not the case at BrickLink. And it is a continous
source of frustration for users.

|
| Just a thought, since the team isn't busy enough fixing real problems like bugs
and rules....
A quick glance at the calendar shows over 10,000 lots being added per day.
Yes you can filter a search, but doing this daily, and filtering down to a small
number of potential items that might get listed once a day, week or month is
tedious and generally not worth it but makes me think - wouldn't it be good if
for sellers of sets or parts, that they could advertise in a dedicated forum
topic with drill down by sub-category as per the buying function, that they'd
uploaded something for sale.
This would help sellers and buyers alike. If everyone flooded the general sales
topic, it would be flooded, and not everyone is looking for someone's latest
mass inventory of a thousand unrelated parts.
Just a thought - what do others think?

|
| I am a fairly new user to Bricklink and am trying to "Part Out" some modular
buildings.
First off, the tools to part out and manipulate parts are awesome, 2 thumbs up.
What I (and many others) experience is the debilitating task of finding the cheapest
order (optimum number of stores with lowest piece price).
At the moment I can see who has the most parts I am looking for (assuming they
haven't multi-listed the same part - GRRR!)
or
I can see the seller with the lowest price for each part.
I can also see how many parts my favorite sellers have.
----------------------------------------------------------
What I would like to see is to use my favorite sellers (ideally an additional
"Active" sellers List).
When looking at my wanted list(s) I would like the option to show "Active" sellers
first.
Reasoning:
As I find sellers with multiple, low price parts, I can add them to my active
list.
My wanted list will show Active sellers at the top (With a Star like the by shop
listing)
Parts without active sellers are easily identified and still need an active seller
found for them.
After I have found an active seller for all (most) parts, I would then be able
to easily select the cheapest active seller for each item.
----
An extra feature could be an automatic Move to active seller wanted list.
So, my "Set10101" Wanted list could be automatically (based on lowest price)
be moved to "Set10101-SellerABC","Set10101-SellerEFG","Set10101-SellerHIJ", Wanted
lists.
More functionality:
Option to suppress items with an active seller already found.
That way I can concentrate on finding sellers for the remaining parts.
Thanks,
Dirac

| Enable a viewer traffic/view counter for items in the store to give the seller
an idea how much traffic specific items are bringing to the store. Perhaps if
it's priced too high and people are not even looking at the item. This would
be counting customer traffic from either price guide and item search, not so
much from within the store. There could be monthly stats for those lots. I understand
this would be an additional task and perhaps too resource consuming for the site,
but perhaps something useful might come of it. I know some might say, if it hasn't
sold, it's priced too high. So there you go.

|
| To help reduce the drama and flame wars that infect this forum, I suggest that
Forum moderators be given the ability to block a member from replying to the
posts of another member with whom they do not get along. Kind of like a forum
stoplist. Not a full forum ban; just a ban on posting replies to another member.
And not a forced ignore either. They should still able to read all posts they
want; just not be able to reply to certain ones if they have a history of not
being able to respond appropriately to that member. Furthermore, this feature
should be reciprocal. So, if the mods decide to remove the ability of Member
A to reply to posts by Member B, Member B should also be unable to reply to posts
by Member A. It takes two to tango, and it would be grossly unfair to allow Member
B to post anything they want about Member A if Member A cannot respond. So make
it reciprocal.
I don't ignore anyone in the forum. Even those I personally dislike or
do not get along with. Because regardless how I personally feel about someone,
they often post something interesting or of concern to me or my LEGO business,
and because I can still agree with them on some things. So I don't think
bans or forced ignores are the answer. Just cut off the line of communication
between the two if they cannot communicate with each other properly.

|
| Hi all,
somehow...(even bigger and experienced sellers) want to sell a set that just
isn't a set!
How much can one take from a set before it doesn't qualify as a set anymore.
After all those years of Bricklink, why aren't there easy rules for this?
I understand when a box is missing, it is incomplete, or when a few parts are
gone...it is incomplete....
But listing a set without the box, instructions, minifigs and weapons doesn't
leave more than a handfull of bricks....NOT a set!
for example:
http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg=1&itemID=99724&advOpt=Y&sz=100&searchSort=P
when you click on only new sets.... personally I think the first 11 do NOT qualify
as a set!
And I understand when you are a newbee...perhaps you did not know the definition
of a set, but this is getting out of hand!
just my 2 cent incomplet set (it used to be a dollar set, but I took 98 cents
for own use)
be cool and have fun!

| Hi all,
every month we get more and more new buyers here on Bricklink... a good thing!
but...as I can see in my own shop, more and more NPB's are given.
And I think the NPB system does not work at all!
A seller who accepts the penalty can have his buying privilges revoked after
3 times....
BUT... when they just ignore the NPB, nothing happens, nothing at all! We have
to cancel the order as we do not want to pay for fees on an order that was not
paid to us...
why is it possible to ignore wthe NPB system? It should be automatically go into
NPX status after 2 weeks.
You either buy and commit yourself to this binding contract or you solve the
problem.
If a buyer kindly asks me, I cancel the order, no problem.
But ignoring me or just wasting my time deserves proper warnings!
NPB should automatically change to NPX after 2 weeks, simple as that, or solve
it properly!
Just my 2 cents (not paid yet)
Be cool and have fun!

|
| Many sellers list the same item several times (even in the same color and conditions).
So when I create a wishlist and then want to add all the items from the wish-list
into the shopping cart I must for each part decide what quantity I want. But
when I need 1x1 brick and I am shown a list of 50 bricks of the same color and
condition, I am only interested at the best price and finding such brick is time
consuming 
I suggest that the following two functions:
1. Functionality called "Auto-Fill Car Low Price". It would behave similarly
to "Auto-Fill Cart Min", but if some part (same color and condition) is listed
several times then it would fill-in desired quantity to the item with lowest
price. Alternatively, a user could chose whether he want to ignore condition
and color - so a user could easily find the lowest condition/color part.
2. Provide possibility to sort store list of items by itemid, color and price
or by itemid and price.

|
| I have a suggestion which would help the search catalogue feature enormously
(from my point of view). If I am searching to identify a part in a easily recognized
colour - say white or black then I am looking at nearly all the categories that
exist to go through and unless I am quite lucky to either remember or guess I
would have to go through all of them. What if instead of just a multi column
list there were check boxes next to each category and you could choose all or
a number of to include in your search. This would cut down the time spe4nt in
trying to find the product.
If you know the category fine then go straight to it and browse the items until
you find it, but if you do not, then finding it becomes quite long winded and
tedious as well as time consuming. Hence mine and a lot of other peoples use
of the forum for identification.
Anybody else agree?

| There is a lot of information about sellers that could be captured through forms
and checkboxes, instead of always relying on store terms. I suggest that all
sellers fill out a form so that we can systematically store this information.
Right now, we already have this covered for a few items:
Countries I ship to
Minimum order
Accepted currencies
Accepted payment types
We should add more:
Minimum shipping
Additional fees
* Lot fee
* Small order fee
* Payment type fee
* Handling fee
* Other fees
Expected Dispatch time from date of payment
When I leave feedback
* On payment
* On shipping
* After "Received"
* Other
How I deal with order errors
* Ship correction at my cost
* Refund
* Buyer's Choice
* Other
These are the ones I can think of that could be useful. I am sure there are others,
but this would be a great start.

|
| (Below is the solution to fix the missing tabs problem that currently exists
on Bricklink. It is a copy of the message I sent to admin. Posting it here for
more visibility. It took me longer to make the images and type the note explaining
the solution than it took to find the problem...)
The root cause is directly related to the addition of the 'link' that
switches the pages from Engling Chinese. It forces the HTML table to take
up more space than is necessary, thus pushing the table the contains the tabs
out of the viewable area. The images show the code - it is a true (and badly
done) hack.
Anyway, enough commenaty, here is the fix:
Bricklink Developers & Admin -
Attached is an image detailing the a solution that will correct the tab rendering
(hidden tabs) problem experienced on certain browsers. The problem is a rendering
difference between browsers related to how they interpret and implement HTML/CSS.
------------------------------------------------
The Root Cause is a combination of the following:
------------------------------------------------
1 - HTML4 v HTML5 support on BL (related to Splash page problems as well)
2 - Old ASP framework code v Modern HTML/CSS standards
3 - A really bad code hack to provide the link to switch to Chinese BL (I mean
no offence - there is no other way to describe it)
4 - Insuffient testing before release.
--------
Code Fix:
--------
#1 - Change the table tag's CELLPADDING attibute from CELLPADDING="5" to
CELLPADDING="0" (It is not needed, but the 10px vertical pixels it frees up are
needed
#2 - ADD "margin:0;padding:0;" to the style attribute of the UL tag utilized
to implement the Chinese language switch (most browsers will automatically do
this, others will not until forced to. This will stop the parent table from
pushing the tabs out of the viewable space in the top frame.
#3 - Add VALIGN="TOP" to the TD tag that wraps the section containing the Store
flags. This will force the flag images to the top of the table, similar to what
is done with the BL logo
Another temp solution is to set SCROLLING="YES" for the FRAME that loads the
store banner and tabs. This would also allow folks to atleast scroll down the
tabs
The Permenant solution is to fix the code hack used to implement the Chinese
language page link. It is improperly implemented - you shouldn't be using
UL LI to create the script link, and there are better ways to align the link
beyond using 10x not-breaking spaces...
Thank you

| Ok,
I would like to be able to flag any order, regardless of date to my action items
page. So the page might read.
1 order not invoiced.
2 orders not shipped
2 orders flagged
This feature would help me out a lot. If I have a buyer that hasn't paid, and
I need to file a npb I can flag that order. If I have a buyer who asked where
their package is, and I want to keep an eye on the order I can flag it. If I've
made special arrangements with a buyer on pay or something else, I can flag that
order. Basically anything that might need my attention today or two weeks from
now can get flagged.
Anyone else like this idea? Please vote yes.

|
| When I send an email through BrickLink's system, I would like for the responder
to be able to reply ONLY through BL, and not to my email address.
We have an address we use strictly for BL business and therefore, rarely check
it because we read our messages on BL. On occasion, we miss an email from someone
because they hit reply from their inbox instead of replying through BL's system.
This also prevents a record of the correspondence on the order transaction details.
(We REALLY like that feature, BTW!)
Could this be accomplished by not including the sender's email address on correspondence
(when they receive it in their email inbox instead of reading it through BL)?
Instead could there be a link in the message with something like 'click here
to reply to this message' that would direct them back to BL?

a NSS or NPB is filed. Only once the NSS or NPB is completed, or after 1 month,
whatever comes first, FB can be left.
This will prevent a buyer from leaving a retaliatory FB after filing of NPB while
it is still pending, or a seller from retaliating with a neg FB once NSS is filed.
All existing rules regarding FB remain in place.

| Here's my first suggestion, and I'd like it do do this, but if not, I'll just
put it somewhere on my splash page.
When, in someone's store, you click on (Show all) for minifigures, it would be
nice if something would say that the seller could ship them two different ways,
and they could choose which way, but would need to send the seller a message
stating the way the buyer would like it.
or, if you clicked on (Show all) for sets, if would notify you that the seller
could ship the box flat if you wanted to on the used sets with box, if you notified
the seller.
The seller could change the message in the box to go with what he or she would
want it to say.

|
| This is an alternate suggestion to bringing back the lot history, which seems
like its not going to happen (http://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=96834).
Hopefully this makes sense - please ask if I need to clarify.
One of the functions I used the lot history for was to find other orders for
the same part with only two mouse clicks away from looking at an order detail
screen. (In other words, when I'm having a problem filling an order). Well
that function already exists in alternate form in the Search Orders function.
What I'm proposing is an OPTIONAL link that sellers could turn on or off for
their Order Detail settings as desired (like checkboxes, inventory remaining,
etc.). This would just be something like a magnifying glass icon that would
appear on each order detail row. Clicking on the icon would take the user to
the Orders Search Results screen with the search results matching the same item
(Item Number, Type, Color, Condition).
This would make the search results only one mouse click away from the order detail.
The advantage of this suggestion for Admin is that he doesn't need to create
any new pages - just a link from one existing page to another existing page.
The value to sellers focuses on when someone buys out an entire lot, but the
seller has multiple orders still in process of being filled. Its a quick way
to ensure that packing the entire lot away in an order isn't going to short another
order that includes a couple of those pieces.
Thanks. -Jason

I have noticed that when I click on the drop down list for the order status,
in order to change the status to 'packed', the order is deemed to be 'invoiced'
wether I have actually invoiced or not...
Maybe this needs to be tweeked a little because I had done that twice now and
not invoiced the customer until a few days later!
(I like to pack the orders before invoicing so I can determine WHAT size package
I should use in order to keep the customer's postage cost down..)
I hope this made sense?

|
| Would it be possible to have the catalog images and price/quantity information
closer together when browsing a seller's store? Currently, while browsing items
for sale in a BL shop, the catalog images and price/quantity info are almost
one entire screen apart. The images are on the left side of the screen and the
price/quantity is on the edge of the right side of the screen. To see what I
mean, take a look at my own shop and click on the link for "show all items":
http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=fosterbengoshi
When scrolling through that screen, I cannot easily see the images and prices
without constantly looking left and right, left and right, over and over again.
Maybe I have tunnel vision or too large a monitor, but I could shop and scroll
through listings 2-3 times faster if I could see the images and prices next to
each other.
Of course, some people are comfortable with the way things are now, so please
make this an OPTION for buyers if at all possible. Thanks in advance.

|
| Similar in some ways to this
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=476778
thanks for the inspiration...
but a bit more refined.
Typically quite afew sellers are kind enough to offer discounts to forum readers
or mailing list subscribers etc etc.
I suggest an option to display a small box during the checkout process where
the buyer enters a code that automatically discounts from the order.
A bit like the tv ads where you get X% off a product by saying a particular word
when you call or by entering a discount code at checkout thats given out in the
advert.
Coding from the sellers store settings could be quite similar to creating a coupon,
but instead of entering a members username the seller needs to enter the code.
I suggest a limit of 3 codes can be used at any one time, leaving enough room
to offer different groups different discounts (forum readers, mailing list subscribers,
convention attendees, existing customers etc etc)
One key advantage is there is no risk of the seller forgetting to apply a discount
or applying the wrong discount.
Another is that some sellers send coupons out to people who have placed orders
with them, with this, they need only mention a code in shipping notice or better
yet have it printed on a little business card to send in orders for a more personal
touch.
thanks for considering

Basically a coupon that shows up to everyone upon checkout. This way if you want
to do a sale say 10% of orders of $100.00 or more you can just create a single
coupon which everyone can receive at checkout. This would be great for short
sales like weekends or holiday.. without having to alter pricing on stuff.

|
| When buying individual bricks, as opposed to sets, and almost certainly also
when selling individual bricks, it would be much more convenient to work with
cents instead of dollars.
Many individual bricks are sold for prices like $0.02 or $0.03. All those zeroes!
Even worse, sometimes bricks are sold cheap, for like $0.004, which at-a-glance
is non-trivial to distinguish from $0.04.
Even if cents (dollar-cents and euro-cents) are implemented as currency that
can be chosen in the interface (for buyers, and for sellers), there will still
be decimals used, for instance som bricks sell for $0.015 which is the same as
1.5 cents. But it'll stil be easier for those of us who buy indvidual bricks
and have no interest in sets.

if you are just looking for the next one down the list in a certain country or

On the fore sale list you would have to go back and forth through several pages
where on in the listing you would just scroll.

|
| BrickLink policy appears to be that it will almost always automatically deny
and remove an NPB if the buyer has either filed or completed a PayPal reversal
or chargeback. This does not seem fair in many cases, especially if the PayPal
claim is filed only a few days after shipping (as we have seen several times
over the past few days).
Please change this policy to be more flexible and fair. Thus, I suggest that
an NPB filed after the buyer does a PayPal claim should NOT be denied or removed
by BrickLink if ALL of the following facts exist:
1. The seller can provide proof of shipping,
2. The seller's BrickLink shop terms and/or invoice clearly state that uninsured
orders are shipped at the buyer's risk, AND
3. When filing the NPB, the seller mentions the PayPal claim and their above
terms(1).
Additional facts which should also be considered are:
a. the reputation and feedback of the seller and buyer;
b. whether either the seller or buyer has filed or has had filed against it
an unusual number of PayPal claims; and
c. whether the buyer is also a BrickLink seller AND has terms in their own shop
disclaiming liability for uninsured orders.
I think everyone here will agree that when a buyer takes back their PayPal payment,
the seller has not been paid for the order. It is non-payment the same way a
bounced check would be non-payment.
Furthermore, BrickLink does not require the seller to show proof of delivery
to defeat an NSS, so why should BL require sellers to prove delivery to complete
an NPB (which is what they must do to defeat the PayPal claim)?
As for PayPal's Buyer Protection Policy, that is a separate matter between the
seller, buyer and PayPal. BrickLink is not part of that matter, no more than
BL is a part of enforcing PayPal's prohibition against charging PayPal fees.
PayPal's terms do NOT say anywhere that the buyer does not have to pay the seller;
only that the payment will not be processed via PayPal. Legally and contractually,
the buyer is still bound to pay. Only the manner of payment has changed.
All we want is a little more flexibility and fairness to prevent the abuses and
double whammies good sellers have been getting recently over this.
Foster
(1) In other words, Admin should not have to go looking for this or wait for
the seller's reply to the buyer's reply. The seller needs to make their case
for the NPB from the very beginning.

|
| I suggest being able to have an option to have a superlot discount while retaining
the ability to sell the item individually..
IE sell the superlot at a 25% discount but it would automatically break it up
if some one were to buy a single item of the super lot
Example.. Minifigure series 2 set linked in a superlot cannot be sold separate
of that superlot unless it is broken up by the store.. however, if the store
had an option to have a superlot discount.. they could have all of the items
listed as a superlot for a %off and then the individual items listed as well..
without having to : #1 - lock up a set in a superlot, #2 go in and dissolve a
super lot manually, #3 Have duplicate listing for parts in or out of a super
lot...
I guess you could also call this linked discounting in that it would link several
parts together into a discounted group.
When one is sold out of the link you could have an option to retain discount
for the remaining items or have all items return to normal pricing.

|
| Would it be possible to tweak the search results page to allow more searching
within the results? BrickLink already allows us to tweak those results by new/used,
location, min/max quantities, and to exclude superlots and incomplete sets. But
I was thinking more, such as being able to exlude more things and/or doing companion
searching for other parts available from sellers who also have the first part.
For example, run a search for 2x4 bricks (part number 3001) and you get 8100
lots. Let's say you are looking for bulk (new or used) in any color with a minimum
quantity of 100 from sellers in North America. That brings the number of lots
down to 272. But let's say you don't want any yellowed or worn parts, or yucky
lime colored bricks. It would be helpful to have the ability to EXCLUDE certain
lots from within these results - such as excluding lots with the word "yellowed"
in the comments or all lime colored bricks. Now let's say you also want to buy
2x2 and 2x3 bricks as well. It would be very helpful to search further within
the 2x4 results to find sellers who ALSO have 2x2 and 2x3 bricks in bulk.
Another example would be looking for bulk quantities of 2x4 bricks in white,
green and brown from the same seller without having to do separate searches or
dropping your search to create a wanted list.
I know some of this can be done by creating a wanted list. But I find making
wanted lists a bit cumbersome. It would be quicker and easier, and encourage
more spur-of-the moment searches and sales, if you could just tweak individual
search results to find exactly what you want without having to go outside of
those results to do something many members may not know how to do.

The intent of this feature would be to help see if a sale, promotion, etc. is

| Given the growing trend (especially with collectible minifigs) to have the "lowest

This filter could work similar to the include/exclude links for complete sets
and not display the price guide information for super lots (when the exclude
super-lots link is clicked)
-OR-
The filter could work similar to the group by currency link and display the price
guide information for super-lots above or below the price guide information for

|
| Hi,
I may be among the newly banned from S@H. Got a letter earlier this month, existing
orders were cancelled, but haven't ordered more since to confirm I can't
buy.
I want to suggest Bricklink a possible expansion, source for new revenues, and
protection of investment. Working with TLG to become a distributor, or provide
and oversee a distribution line to Bricklink sellers.
I don't believe Bricklink sellers are the resellers TLG is most concerned
with. I would like to see a S@H channel that has some/all the benefits of S@H,
but not the volume limitation on sets purchased. BL and TLG are supposed to be
cooperating, and it would serve both of them to sell to the sellers here.
Reselling concerns could be addressed, even monitored. I'm not familiar with
the Minecraft problem, but problem sets need not be included in the BL@H channel.
This may not work for set sellers, but alternative packaging could be made available,
using basic or generic packaging to help reduce costs, or existing packaging
that has been damaged to prevent resale(like a hot rod pressed through the labels
of records, or covers torn from books). TLG sells mostly sets, we sell parts
that don't compete with most of their core sales.
Bricklink could watch the stores that are involved in this channel, and handle
any store that sells in a way it shouldn't. Start out with purchase limitations
for stores until they have histories or existing inventories that would qualify
for larger purchases. Make sure the parts from sets sold to the stores through
BL@H show up in those store's inventories. Bricklink should get a cut of
any BL@H purchase, plus the normal commision when a store sells those parts.
TLG makes money, makes fans happy, and reduces liability exposure to unhappy
customers. Also, buyers are still able to get parts they need that TLG is not
going to supply. Most PaB parts are way too expensive compared to prices here.
Bricklink is a fan site with commercial practices, but those practices would
be impossible to duplicate profitably with our love for the brick. If I were
to hire someone to do what I do here, unless it is at a special reduced minimum
wage, no profit would be made.
I have to believe an idea like this has already been kicked around. I don't
know why it wouldn't have been explored, but banning sellers and fans from
making economic purchases could change how people feel, could change how TLG
is perceived. Bricklink has been a success, but business have to grow and change
to remain a success.
I would like to ask Bricklink to develop a product distribution channel with
The Lego Group for Bricklink sellers.

| I would like an option to eliminate the incomplete sets from showing on my wanted
list when the "Show Items for Sale" option is enabled. It is not usually a problem
but if I want to check the lowest complete set I either have to click on each
store link or go to the price guide for that set and click "exclude" incomplete
sets.
If I have a wanted list full of sets I don't want to have to go to each set's
price guide page individually. An example of a set that gets really annoying
is 10219 Maersk Container Train
It is not until the 18th listing (when sorted by price) that you get to a complete
listing. The rest of the listings are for individual container cars or just
the truck from the set. Some of the listings (14th-17th) are at least close
enough to the complete listing prices that it gets annoying to try to figure
out which ones are complete and which aren't. There are several other sets
that pose a similar problem and being able to eliminating incomplete listings
should resolve this.

| I would like to see an update to the famed TOS.
This would include NO POSTING of persons handles in Subject headings on the forum.
I consider this to be personal information.
And I have taken offense at the use of it to single out a certain user (not me
by the way) on this forum for public attack.
This buyer is in good standing, and places large orders with stores on this site.
I agree that posting about 'flame topics' gets you more business (as presented
by our new #1 poster of the month).
But in that ruining a person's reputation by doing this practice is wrong.
Using something like "Buyer wants customs form fraud" works just as well, and
does not point a spotlight at a buyer.
In this case, customer is NOT ALWAYS RIGHT, but does he deserve to be drawn and
quartered in public for making a mistake?
Now discussion of a "wrong" matter in the forum is well documented, and I can
list many positive outcomes to posting a person's handle AFTER a NPB or NSS is
complete.
But to attack a person before any BL Admin process can take place, again in my
opinion, is just plain baiting.
I am sure I will have person's in this forum now attack my position by doing
personal attacks on me.
So I am going to ignore this post so I do not head down that path again today.
Have a great day, and I look forward to your business.

| Showed everything the store had that was at the cheapest price on Bricklink.
When I am in gathering mode, this would be useful, and save me the time it takes
to go through my cart comparing each item to other stores.
I usually land in a store because it has the single item I was initially after
at the best price/qty.
But then I start seeing what else I might be able to use from the store.
Then I go compare everything I placed in my cart to other listings for the same
item.
This step could be eliminated if I can immediately see that this store has the
item at the lowest price.
I realize that anything that drives prices down, or pushes sales to the lower
priced items, is not necessarily of benefit to bricklink.
I am not sure I would implement this if I owned the site, as I see more benefit
to me as a buyer than to the site profits.
But maybe it would benefit the site.
This might get me to purchase stuff I might otherwise pass up, just because I
can immediately see that it is the best deal on the site.
Percent off sales have no effect on my deciding something is a good deal. I
do not care what the initial price was, I only care what the current price is,
and how that compares to other current prices and prices I might expect to see
in future listings (which is where price history effects my thinking).
(I am no good at debate, as I make an argument I start to see the merits of both
sides of the argument, and end up less sure than when I started debating. For
the same reason I would never make a good politician.)

| I was told nicely to change our name when some took offense to it.
I did.
It took a month and our offending name is still there under our current name.
I would like ask that if this occurs that an email be sent to the person, then
the name be changed without the offending name being put under the (XXXXXX) name.
Once we found out that the word "pimp" offended, I wanted to change it, but it
took my 30 days.
We modeled it under the "Pimp my ride" program. Adult program=adult name.
A poster on here just posted on the forums. I am sure some will be upset with
his colorful choice of names.
Thank you for your consideration.

|
| I suggest that where possible members be proactive and repair any problems they
find with this website themselves, using Greasemonkey. Greasemonkey is a Mozilla
Firefox extension that allows users to install scripts that make on-the-fly changes
to HTML web page content - details at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greasemonkey
Most Greasemonkey scripts can also be used within the Chrome browser. I'm
believe there is some kind of IE support.
The upside of fixing the problem yourselves is that we're not reliant on Admin
finding the time and the inclination to fix something you find annoying. It
also gives Admin a clear understanding of a suggestion - he can see it working
for himself, look at the number of people using the script and judge if that
seems to be a good idea. There's also a remote chance that the JavaScript client-side
implementation will inform any server-side re-implementation.
If Admin wants to encourage/facilitate this kind of activity, more extensive
use of the HTML id tag and/or unique HTML name tags would be helpful.
Standards:
I suggest that once an improvement has been posted in the Suggestions topic,
a reply be posted to the suggestion - but with the topic changed to Related Software
to make finding these posts easy. That reply should link to the script and give
any necessary instructions for use.
The Greasemonkey script should be posted to UserScripts.org, and tagged with
"bricklink" and "lego". The script should use the same @namespace ("bricklink")
and @icon (located at http://www.sculpturesupplies.com.au/GMBL.png) as other
bricklink scripts, making it obvious in the Tools | Add-ons dialog which scripts
are for Bricklink. The script should be named GMBL_whatever.user.js (Greasemonkey
Bricklink, or gimble) so that in a large directory all scripts are grouped together.
Scripts should be added as a link to "Inventory Software" http://www.bricklink.com/links.asp?catID=9
pending a more appropriate grouping.

| When adding identical items of an identical color to an existing wanted list,
this is the message received;
"Oops! There was a problem processing your request:
1. This item is already on your (name of wanted list)."
Could the quantity be updated instead of receiving this message?

| So, I had parts to a Geonosian droid, except for an arm and the plate.
I purchased both of those pieces, and I no longer need them. I was just looking
in my wanted list today, and that plate and arm are still there! I do not need
them
anymore, but they are still there!
Is this maybe an error? I did not buy the parts through the actual link on my
list,
just found them in stores. But I would still think that it would auto-correct
itself...

| Is there a way to have all items in a group or on a list grouped together by
sellers when they send e-mail indicating they have a part or parts? I'm getting
50-100 hits from the same sellers for individual parts in my group wanted list...
Then, there's no way to contact the seller to ask him to group the items together
on one e-mail instead of 50 emails... it's exhausting going through each one...
It'd be great if stores could be ranked by how many numbers of items on your
want list are in their store...

| I've been trying to find the best price to buy my Wanted list (that I've uploaded).
It is around 600 Lots for a total of 1200 parts.
And it seems to be difficult to do something like:
1) Look for the sellers with a maximum of part I want to buy (this is already
possible)
2) Select X sellers (maximum of 10)
3) Return the parts I want, they all have in common
4) Return the price of the order for each of the seller
I'm not sure the bricklink developer has time to do this, but that would be pretty
easy to program if an API is available

| It would be nice to see progress of suggestions,
ie at a certain point (# of days or # of votes and/or % of for and against)
at this point it should be reviewed by mods an/or decision makers and if decided
"worthy"...
escalate to Admin (I will assume Eric) and the outcome decided upon.
At the moment it just seems like: -
1). "hey - ive got an idea"
2). 3). ..... n). "that's good/bad" mumble mumble (grumble) in the forum
The end 
Next.
what say you? or will this just go thru stages (2 thru n) too? 
The End
Next
