Most of it I like, and am just re-learning to navigate, as we all are. Patience,
patience, patience; I keep telling myself.

While I love the little icons at the top: Shop, Community, Help, My Store, My
BL, Want & Cart....one is missing: Catalog! I realize it is a sub-category when
you hover over 'Shop' but my gut instinct is for it to be a sub-category
in Community, not Shop. Then I realized....it should actually be it's OWN
icon up at the top, not a sub-category at all. It is important, and I want it
to be up there to access.

I miss the page that had 'My orders' and on the left was orders placed,
on the right was orders received. Now each under a separate place: one under
My BL, the other under My Store. No....I still want to have both together, and
then I can choose when I have the page showing them both. The way it is now,
it is too many steps to go from one to the other.

Am I making any sense with both of these?

Hover over MyBL then click on View Profile. Is that the page you were looking
for albeit a little different?

Yes! That page! Okay, now tell me how I get there??? When I go to "My BL" and
click on orders, it only shows me orders that I placed. To get to orders received,
I have to go through "My Store" Where oh where is the page above actually located??
LOL!

Geez, I found it. Dang near-sighted-ness! Those bars up at the top are just too
tiny for me to read!

You are making total sense, and I agree entirely (in that there are too many
more steps added to what was a very simple way of navigating between orders placed
& received)...

Makes perfect sense!

My 2 cents...

1. It seems to take more clicks to get to where I need to go. (I'll get used
to it, I hope new users can figure things out.)

2. The wanted list usefulness was obliterated. (Unacceptable!)

and the wanted list is just bad. If I was a new member to this site I would be
totally lost (I'm pretty lost as is). My site you shop at don't require
a 8 minute video to show you how to shop.

It makes sense that those pages might feel like they are farther apart, but in
fact they are not. They are both just a single click away from each other. And
they are both just a single click away from *any* BrickLink page, whereas they
used to be two or three clicks away from a random page.

There seems to be a bug with the menu that appears when you hover over the "My
Store" or "My BL" on numerous pages within the site (specifically the Orders
Received page for me, though it always seems to work on the main page)... and
that's regardless of browser used (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari)
... so,
until that's fixed, I have to keep going back to the main page to get to
that single click... once fixed though, you are correct, and it'll just come
down to familiarity with the new location(s)...
