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.

I voted yes and agree with everything you stated.
I do have to say that #4; to give different people different permissions is a
top one on your list. I currently only have my wife and I but I have thought
about this in the future that I would not want everyone and their brother having
access to everything in bricklink. For example I would not want everyone to be
able to add/delete items but only have that person able to view orders to prepare
and ship. I was once told a wise saying by a business man "Everyone's business
is no ones business".
