Ah, I didn't read properly Yes, that should already cause a whole lot
less burden.

Good thing that at least the link to the part out value result page is directly
accessible and editable without having to go through the "get value" button.
That way, at least some of us that have some programming or perhaps Excel or
other skills are able to save a bunch of clicks. Seller tools aren't coming
to it seems we all have to make our own But yes, I think I agree this would
be a good feature.

the better function would be a button). Clicking on it would provide the same
function as navigating through Market Price Guide entering the set's
number, then clicking "Get Value". It doesn't need to be information saved
on the page, but if I'm looking at a set on BL and wondering what its part
out value is, I should be able to find out quicker than taking the above steps.

I'm not an expert but I think this would be too heavy for the website. Even
asking 1 part out value the system needs to process all priceguide data of all
parts in that set. If a totally random user would be browsing through 10 sets,
that whole process has to happen 10 times. It's only useful for sellers and
only at those moments that they want to purchase something, so I think it would
be an overkill of constant processing on the server for a small advantage.

You got my vote for what it worth, WL should have had this feature right at the
beginning, it's just ridiculous because it makes WL a huge waste of time
to do the job the tool (=the BL website) should do in the first place.

  Hi, sorry if this has been suggested before but I cannot find it. It would be
great to have an ability to sort a Wanted list on "Difference" which is what
I want minus what I have. Then I can see what is missing and try to borrow the
parts from friends.
(= Want - Have).

The system must have this, otherwise the Buy All feature would not work correctly.
So please can it be an option in the Display pull-down box?

Thanks

I recommend Rebrickable for those Things. you can upload the "missing parts list"
to Bricklink at the end.

  So... basically my suggestion would be two-fold

a) Enable sending attachments (or images)

  b) Don't send the message in email, but instead send an email notification
there is a message, without the actual message in the mail. It will avoid people
hitting the reply-button in their mail client.

I agree with this. Sending photos through BL is the only thing I would need changed

  I agree. There may be occasions when you need to do something different but
in most cases the bricklink contact system works as it should.

I need to send attachment a lot of the times (for condition of items) which is
cumbersome if I need to swith messaging channel for that reason.

   My own phobia/train of thought quickly
leads me to "why don't they want bricklink to have a record of this conversation?"
😉

Read my reply on "Admin_Russell" feedback: I don't care if it's processed
by BL or not. I want to use a single channel of communication.

So... basically my suggestion would be two-fold
a) Enable sending attachments (or images)
b) Don't send the message in email, but instead send an email notification
there is a message, without the actual message in the mail. It will avoid people
hitting the reply-button in their mail client.

Hi, just asking for your opinion, because I am wondering if there is a need for
inventory of parts sw12v1rightM and sw12v1leftM? I think there is, because my
white axle is broken off and to replace this I have to buy a complete switch!
As there are several parts like the screw, case and white axle, in my opinion,
it is usefull to add a inventory of these parts. What is your opinion? Greets,
Wilbert

  Just had a stroke of genius (or just a stroke ) while replying to post

I would really like to see more pics of our member’s pet. What do you think about
showing or introduce your animal companion to the BL membership here on the forum?

I suggest a new forum subtopic, under Off Topic: Pets

Anecdotes and/or pics of your pets? Maybe of interrupting your lego work or other
mischief. Or just an introduction of your nonhuman companion, new or old. What
your pet did today

Even though we don't have furry companions (son's allergies) we really
enjoy animal pics and stories. Think most do, evidenced by it's popularity
on youtube.

What do think? Think there is enough interest to warrant a sub-topic in the forum?

Wiggles favorite place to sleep.

Looks comfy

But hey, dogs sleep on us! I suppose sleeping on a bigger dog will due when a
static human is not available
