It’s because the ones they don’t do on a Friday as they are leaving for the weekend
are either:
1. not breaking anything because they weren’t made by sleep-deprived, eager to
leave for the weekend devs,
2. or quickly fixed because said devs hadn’t yet rushed to the nearest dive to
drown their memories of that awful spaghetti code and all the 500’s they got
the whole week.

Totally agree, also the AFOL stuff that pops up at the top of your searches.

But main gripe today would be I would love it if bricklink was working correctly
today. having to go to the front page to do anything is getting old.

very and fast - The site has become unstable yet again and although it isn't
with server 500 errors - I wonder if they are adding code to the site and it
is breaking it.

Might be an idea for BL to get a proper sandbox in place and use that for rolling
out updates and/or changes - like most development teams do.

A sandbox would be fantastic, this is something I have been suggesting in the
forums since I started selling. Even someway for sellers to test postage.

But even some bloody communication would be nice. Lawrence has a pinned site
updates post on the brickowl forums, and regularly updates and gets involved
in the forums.

hahahahahahahahaha. I just went to post this and got the 500 error.

  Can we please remove the 'Prefer My Bricklink Classic?' (and the corresponding

Yes, please remove "View My New BL" from the top of the 'My Bricklink'page.

  
It takes up loads of screen real estate and would be as a tick box on a display
settings option.

I think after it being there a year most people will have chosen which style
they prefer.

Looking at it some more it seems like many battery box parts e.g.
 
Part No: 54950c01  Name: Electric 9V Battery Box 4 x 11 x 7 with Red Switch
* 
54950c01 (Inv) Electric 9V Battery Box 4 x 11 x 7 with Red Switch
Parts: Electric, Battery Box
already list their battery requirements, as do some sets that use those parts.
So mostly its a matter of identifying parts and sets that need batteries that
dont list such requirements e.g.
 
Set No: 8287  Name: Motor Box
* 
8287-1 (Inv) Motor Box
93 Parts, 1 Book, 2006
Sets: Technic: Supplemental
or
 
Set No: 6399  Name: Airport Shuttle
* 
6399-1 (Inv) Airport Shuttle
728 Parts, 9 Minifigures, 1990
Sets: Town: Classic Town: Airport
not showing the requirements.

  I think all battery boxes (and other parts that take batteries) as well as the
sets that contain them should have a statement "this part/set takes xyz batteries"
to let people know what batteries they need.

A few items contain such information in their "notes" but its inconsistent (ideally
it should cover all the items that need batteries and possibly be a specific
field rather than just notes)

I guess you refer to parts like

 
Part No: 40931c01  Name: Electric, Light & Sound Siren 2 x 6 x 1 with Trans-Dark Blue Lights and White Center
* 
40931c01 Electric, Light & Sound Siren 2 x 6 x 1 with Trans-Dark Blue Lights and White Center
Parts: Electric, Light & Sound
or
 
Part No: 54930c02  Name: Electric, Light Brick 2 x 3 x 1 1/3 with Trans-Clear Top and Yellow LED Light (Glows Orange)
* 
54930c02 Electric, Light Brick 2 x 3 x 1 1/3 with Trans-Clear Top and Yellow LED Light (Glows Orange)
Parts: Electric, Light & Sound
which actually include batteries in their respective
sets and have comments regarding what battery is needed.

Other sets like
 
Set No: 42043  Name: Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245
* 
42043-1 (Inv) Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245
2793 Parts, 2015
Sets: Technic
don't include the needed 6x AA-Cells. I think
on most sets it's actually printed on the box if extra batteries are needed.
Nevertheless as additional information for customers this might me a helpful
information to be included on the item/set pages so they can gather needed batteries
for their purchases.
