Hello all. I have been going through the Members - Feedback ratings list, going
on page 21,158 to find information on something that I have been wondering about.
Well in doing this I have seen thousands of users that don't seem to be
"active" users. So I am thinking the 731,476 registered users is somewhat irrelevant.
Many are a once and done, sort of user.

I would like to suggest, that leaving the registered user count intact, but add
the count of "Active" users. Have BL not count the inactive users after say
6 months or 1 year, of actual log in date. This would give us all a better idea
of how many actual users are using BL. This could work just as the purge orders
after 6 months. This would still allow a user to log in after being put into
not active, and then would be in the active number for the 6 months or year.

What say you?

Dave

1) Please fix the BL login. Multiple times pretty much every day BL tells me
that my auto-fill password and id are in error.

Sometimes I can switch to a new tab or close the browser and start it again.
Other times, I have to clear my cookies (it took 2 tries of clearing cookies
just now). When I clear my cookies for BL, I also lose all my other site prefilled
info.

None of the above is acceptable for a modern website.

2) Links: why on earth do the upper links (community, my store, my bl, etc) work
when clicked on, but do not when you right-click for a new tab? (Google Chrome)
Please fix this too.

Hi,

I recently commented that the apparent BrickLink-imposed delay of 29 (or 30)
minutes may wrongly give customers the impression they must complete their order
within this time frame, as opposed to my and others' store closed messages
which often state to simply contact the seller for a bypass password, allowing
for however much time, often days, a seller can provide a particular customer
to finish their shopping cart. In short, I think the store closure message is
more polite than the 29-minute countdown.

Another consideration is that the 29-minute delay means the store is simply not
closed when a store owner wants it to be.

For example, I recently made a large discount error across many more lots and
item types than intended. I didn't know how to quickly undo the change without
messing up other pricing considerations, so I "closed" my store to ensure no
orders were placed with erroneous pricing.

However my store was not actually closed, based on BrickLink's imposed delay.
And during the five to ten minutes needed to set things straight, an order could
have been placed based on unintended pricing.

I recommend that stores close at the moment when store owners want them closed.

Sincerely, Matthew

For many years, I have used the "Item Finder" instead of "Search" at the top
of most pages as I find the functionality better, specifically for filtering
the country of origin of seller.

I again find the "new" search pages not as helpful. I click on "USA" for origin,
then click details, and it shows all parts, not just the sellers in "USA" for
example.

I wanted to pass along this user feedback and see if anyone else has easier and
better ways to find parts. I do not see the "Item Finder" on the new pages,
and suggest that it remain.

Team,

I have been waiting to open my store for over a month. I am more than ready to
start selling. Do you need help in this department? Volunteers to assist in matters
like this?

Cheers!

I've been going through my old sets and reviving them for my kids. There
are quite a lot of parts missing, so I've been ordering the missing parts.
When doing this, I need to track what I've already ordered, so it would be
pretty awesome if the invoice/order overview also could show the part number
and color, not only the part descriptions.

Thanks,
Joakim

Hello

Of course - everyone has his own system - but mine is:
Color first - item number second

Unfortunately this setting is not available in "orders settings".
Is it possible to have this setting option too?
If yes - where to ask for it?

Best regards
Petra

Suggestion:

Please update the item numbers of items marked for deletion to end with "-md"
or something similar. I am putting together older figures and keep running into
guys that are marked for deletion. There is no way to know they are marked for
deletion on Brickstock until I pull up the catalog or try to upload the parts.

The best solution would be to delete the items marked for deletion.

Thanks,
Cob

Hello,

I think that implementing a shipping method setting allowing or disallowing to
buy without VAT would be very helpful for VAT-registered sellers from the EU.

All orders received from buyers outside of the EU are automatically placed without
VAT, but sometimes sellers can only sell without VAT using particular shipping
methods. Of course VAT can be added manually to order if needed, but what about
upcoming instant checkout?

This setting would allow sellers to set shipping method to automatically add
VAT to orders in checkout when buyer selects such shipping method, even if the
buyer is from outside of the EU.

What do you think sellers?

Best regards,
Tomasz
