Never would have noticed this response if not for a chance reload from my browsing
history and seeing the original post was "discarded". Would seem appropriate
to contact the member directly, or set up a notice when status on the request
is changed, especially after a month of no action on it and the request that
additional action by that member is to be taken.
But of course that is just one of the many notices that members really would
benefit from but never get, especially important site changes/matters. Notifications
on so many levels (especially the broad spectrum ones) is the #1 important issue
I think BrickLink needs to implement in it's many needed changes. Users
need to be informed proactively, not only via their own deep digging in the largely
useless forum.
Like the recent 'nougat' color changes....that was a no brainier to ASK
THE COMMUNITY, not the forum, the community (.ie. the site user base) before
implementing. Or at the very least to alert us that it has happened (or will).
What company changes basic function/aspects of the site without a walk-through
or notice of what the updates are?
Imagine PayPal changing the menu to all new lingo and no proactive info what
it means or used to be (just burred in their community questions area). The
forum is NOT the place for this to take place. Very few who have a busy life
(think most sellers) wastes valuable time using it anymore. There are the dedicated
few to help with legit questions, but it is mostly time waste material, not the
place for important site announcements. Those should be in an email or site
banner once they happen, like all user-valuing sites out there use.
Please appropriately respect and value the user. Remember, we are YOUR product.

This is a fair point and I will take it into consideration in the future. I
apologize that I didn't directly contact you.

I agree with this also, but setting up a notification system is well beyond the
purview of CAs/IAs and requires action from the site's side. I simply don't
have time to individually notify 700,000+ people of changes because to do so
I would have to send exactly that many PMs. There is no system in place for
mass-notification, even though members have asked for it for a long time.

I have always tried to do that and I appreciate knowing where I fail.

For pity's sake. Can't BrickLink afford a ConstantContact or MailChimp
account?
I know, you're not the person to ask.
This is a rhetorical question.
...and I'm a noisy forum user who will therefore be summarily ignored...

Appreciate the understanding....wasn't directed at you specifically, but
the general way things work around here of late.

Not to contradict, but BrickLink has everyone's registered emails, so how
hard is it to send an update to those? Granted I don't have a million users
to notify, but even a novice website owner can do that, it's typically built
into any domain control panel, or at least the option to activate it is there.
Plus there are services out there for mailing lists too, and could easily be
used if the BL server can't handle it. And then what about the LEGO user
agreement pop-up we all saw a few months ago? Why not use that function again
for a pop-up that we all should hear about? Guess I just don't see how excuses
are valid given this is the internet with a million way to stay in contact.
Probably not your department, but someone behind the scenes surely can do it
as it has been done before.

Again not you, but the collective "site powers" failing to take actions to keep
all in the loop. Just a request we "all" get the respect of a notice, not the
few digging around in the forum.

Yeah, we caught that and corrected when uploading the images the second round.
But thanks for the note!
