| Author: | cptnruthless | | Posted: | Aug 21, 2014 15:05 | | Subject: | Suggestion: Wanted notify setting override | | Viewed: | 105 times | | Topic: | Suggestions | | Status: | Implemented | |
|
| For most parts, which are commonly available, I have my wanted list set up with
the following option:
In View and E-Mail Notifications, Include only Items in Stores which are Located:
In Country: USA
This way I'm not bombarded with notifications for items in stores I'm
not likely to purchase, because of high shipping charges.
However, there are rare parts which infrequently show up in USA, but sometimes
are available in Europe. I would like an option, within the item, to have wanted
notifications regardless of location settings. This would be available both on
the "add item" screen as well as the "edit item" screen. Or, similar to how the
"notify" checkbox already functions. Or, have this as an option for entire want
lists - I could set up my main want lists and have a special want list just for
items I dont care where they are sourced from - because in those instances I
am willing to pay for them 
Thanks for considering this suggestion for the revamped bricklink!

|
| (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

| Bricklink World Class Programming & Customer Serivce team -
Test before release. This concept is not hard. Perhaps in your eagerness to
pacify the crowd with pitchforks and torches you have forgotten it. Perhaps you
may just not know. Here is how you do it:
For EACH (individual) change to Bricklink:
-----------------------------------------
#1 - Scope your change to know its impact
#2 - Write your test plan to match the requirements for the change
#3 - Recognize that there are at least three (3) internet browsers to support:
Chrome, Firefox & Internet Explorer (IE)
#4 - Make sure that the test plan fails before any change is made
#5 - Implement the change, and only that change, in a development environment
#6 - Execute the test plan (in an isolated environement that matches the live
environment) for Chrome, Firefox and IE
#7 - Repeat steps 5-6 until the test plan passes for all three (3) browsers
#8* - Run the full test plan on the ENTIRE site to ensure everything still works
#9 - If anything fails, return to step #1 and repeat
#10 - Release the change to the live site.
(* Bricklink is written with ancient software that has so many dependencies,
querks, gotchas and 'hidden' features that it is impossible to know what
a change will do to seemingly unrelated features. That is why the software used
to run Bricklink is no longer used nor even supported, not even by the company
that originally created the software...)
Your new mantra must be: "test! Test! TEST! And then test it again!"
Any modern development team worth being paid - especially one that performs
web development - knows this.

| Author: | Cyberclark | | Posted: | Aug 20, 2014 09:26 | | Subject: | Localization settings | | Viewed: | 238 times | | Topic: | Suggestions | | Status: | Implemented | |
|
| Bricklink is a Global marketplace. Awesome. So let's looks like one.
Not sure if it is just the American in me, but logging in to a site and seeing
a little red Chinese flag in the corner of the site with some chinese characters
next to it, just sets off a lot of little alarm bells in my head. It reminds
me of that movie with Sandra Bullock, The Net, where there was a little hidden
symbol on a page and when you clicked on it you were taken to somewhere bad.
If I were a new user and unfamiliar with the site that little icon might make
me think twice about using the site.
Why not do this like most other Global companies do it. Have the main domain
go to a splash page of sorts. A very plain page with a Large Bricklink logo
in the middle and right below it a dropdown box that says choose your location.
Then for now they can have North America and China (the only two localizations
currently available) then as other languages are made available you can easily
add the links for those to the dropdown and users can be directed the the version
that best suits them. Also below that dropdown box have a checkbox that says
Remember this setting on my computer. Checking this box will create a cookie
file so that the next time the user comes to the site they will be auto-directed
to the proper site.
Here are some examples of other companies that use this approach:
http://www.ups.com/
http://www.fedex.com/
Option 2 - You could do what companies like Apple, Microsoft, Google and many
others do and that is route the user based on their IP address. For instance
when I go to http://www.microsoft.com I am seamlessly redirected to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx
with no interaction on my part. And then at the bottom left side of the page
they have a picture of a globe, not a US Flag mind you, with the words United
States - English after the globe. If I click on that it takes me to a page when
I can then pick a different localization if for some reason I didn't want
to be on the US site. I know though that this option can be problematic espeically
for people who may be visiting or temporarily living outside of their home country
that they may want to view the site in.
Or Option 3 - If the above 2 take too long to implement. For now just remove
the Chinese flag!! Chinese in this case is a language, you shouldn't need
a national flag to represent that. Isn't the Chinese language used by
more people than just those living in China? Plus, When you click on the link,
to come back it just says Eng? No British or US flag? So why do you feel the
need for the China National flag? Also move the link to the footer of the page,
not the header. Most of the other large sites I am looking at have it in the
footer. And most are just simple text links. Look at Amazon.com for another
example. So internet users are used to having to look for it in the footer,
if they need it. Plus in the upper right there, what happens if you add even
more localizations, are you going to have 30 flags up there in that little tiny
space?
Now I know I gave you 3 options so since they don't give us an option for
a poll in the forum it will be hard to vote on. So how about this, A yes vote
just means that Bricklink needs to look at these options and do something to
change the way localization is currently. A no vote means you are 100% happy
with the way they rolled it out so far

Comments from Submitter:
Page 3 of the instructions show how to build a jet pack for Batman (you can see it on his back in the box photo).
All the pieces required to build this item are missing from your set inventory. They should be included as regular items.
After the build, I had exactly the same extra parts in your inventory, so the extras are correct.

| Author: | cosmicray | | Posted: | Aug 19, 2014 18:48 | | Subject: | Please split PayPal by seller/buyer country | | Viewed: | 186 times | | Topic: | Suggestions | | Status: | Already Exists | |
|
| Please make PayPal acceptance into two types (either of which the seller can
specify).
One would be 'seller accepts PayPal from buyer's country'
The other would be 'seller accepts PayPal from seller's country'
The first indicates that you accept cross-border PayPal, the second says you
do not.
This suggestion is a result of a growing number of orders that I have received,
where the buyer is physically in another country, has a US based re-shipper specified
as the buyer's address, but wants to pay with cross-border PayPal. Buyers
are using the address field to try to circumvent the country list that the seller
will ship to, when in reality the situation is more than where the seller ships
to, it is also a cross-border payment issue.
Thank you.

| If I reserve an item for another user and I want to see it in my store it says
that the item is not available.
It would be nice to see it displayed with additional note that it is reserved
for user xzy. Of course this item would only be display for store owner.

| I would like to see implemented that Sellers who have a particular part listed
in their store, get a message when an alternate part turns up.
Recent Examples:
Sellers may have listed them wrong, because the didn't notice the difference
while parting out. I, for instance, still don't see the difference in those
tires.
