  It would be nifty if we could download the orders we've placed as individual
or bulk PDF's so they could retain their images, layout, and info. all in
one package even after being purged from the site

Vote yes, that would be awesome.

Note: you currently you can work around it individually by going to print and
then instead of actually sending to a printer just save as pdf, if using chrome
you can even save it to your google drive as a pdf.
However this is a one by one method and tedious. Having a button that creates
one (or multiple) pdf(s) for a selectable range of orders would be ideal.

  Just today the Orders Received and Orders Placed layouts were changed, with no
announcement from Admins. I am suggesting that Admins make a forum announcement
when implementing major changes such as the ones today. The announcement would
serve as a place to give feedback to and discuss the changes being made. While
the roadmap is a good feature, no one checks it everyday to see if any new features
have been implemented. The Admin announcements would alert everyone to the new
changes being made, and if they were announced a day or two in advance with a
preview, we could give our thoughts about the coming changes, and not have things
change so unexpectedly. Bug fixes would not need to be announced, just the "improvements"
and new features.

Thanks for your consideration,
M.Boss

It seems like admins are starting to look back at the pile of suggestions we
have.
Implementing some discarding some...
However it is not clear if they are basing the decisions on what to implement
or do with the site based on old votes, new votes, by some other parameter or
just plain randomly.

When dealing with major changes like price comparison etc, it would be good to
poll the entire site not just forum users about what to do.

A simple email with a yes/no toggle for a couple important suggestions and the
option to subscribe for future polling.

If the user does not reply they don't get emailed the next round if they
do their vote is counted.

Each poll could be open for say 3 days.
The next poll would come when the admins are ready to implement new changes.
In this way if you don't vote then you have to shut up and stop bickering
in the forum. If you vote but are minority then oh well better luck next time.
I know BL is not a democracy but it could actually help BL to listen to what
the great majority of BL users, buyers and sellers want and not just do random
stuff.

  Before the upgrade, 'Seller Refuses Service' was displayed very clearly
when you entered a store. Now you can fill your cart only to find out when looking
at your cart that you cannot actually shop in a store.

Please make the "Seller Refuses Service" status more clear and as soon as possible!

Voted yes.

I was curious and decided to check how many people stoplist me, was happy to
see that it reminds at 1, and that one has been there since the beginning of
time, LOL.

On the other hand the number of people that ignore me in forum increased from
1 to 5. I have no clue what have I said in the last 6 months that could have
irritated 4 people so much as to bother with the ignore. Its not like I post
very frequently anymore. Oh well, moving on.

  Please add an option to remain logged in. Having a simple "keep me logged in
on this computer" checkbox like most other modern sites would be really nice.

But that would take out the fun of logging in every 5 minutes!

  It would be nice if sellers could set a minimum order amount for domestic and
another for international.

Having to pay 4% to Paypal on money that goes to the USPS makes it a tough call
on accepting international orders.

I've been debating with myself on what to do with international and I think
having a separate minimum for domestic and international would help me figure
out a solution.

Maybe it would help others too.

Voted yes.

If I could I would vote yes*100

Note this has been suggested many times before here is one.
http://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=146929&nID=699366

But with the most recent doubling up of FCMI shipping it has become even more
crucial.

I hope this gets approved soon. It does not seem too hard to implement.

  Please add a setting to the price guide settings that would allow the user to
have the links "Add to My Inventory" and "Add to my wanted list" not just at
the bottom as they are currently, but also at the Top as well. Would be really
helpful since it is a hassle sometimes having to scroll down really far just
to get to those links

Does your "End" key not work

Are you referring to the "End" key that does not exist on my iPad ?

Was going to vote yes but I am too lazy to scroll back to the original post.

Hi,
You know how when you are searching a store and click on the small image a larger
image pops out with the name of the set or part but there is no LINK. Yet everywhere
else on the site when you click on the small image the pop out window has a link:
CATALOG ENTRY.

I know that it has been suggested Many times (usually by buyers) that the link
be habilitated on stores. Well I am NOT asking for that, I am only asked that
it gets habilitated when YOU are browsing your OWN store. This will save a lot
of time for sellers to review their items back to back with the catalog. Without
having to go to inventory and possible screwing up something in the process.
I hope what I am asking is clear.

What do you think? Please vote and discuss.

Thank you.

I suggest removing the "Last Logged In:" info once it has been a week since the
order has been marked complete.

If the order is complete, there is no reason for the buyer or seller to contact
the other party or to know when they log in to Bricklink. I doubt people actually
click on this unless they need it (e.g a NPB or NRS) but still I would hate to
think somebody is clicking on somebody else's link every day to see if they log
in or not. As of now the info is available for 6 months, the same frame for leaving
feedback.

For people not familiar with the "Last Logged In:" feature, when you go to the
orders placed you can see all the orders you have placed in the last six months
(I imagine the same holds for orders received). When you click the name of the
seller it opens a page with address, other info and the last time they had activity
on BL.

Ok, maybe this is not a big deal. But I just thought I would point it out.
