I love the way this old Forum works. Sorry if I am in the minority. I would argue
that the lack of community involvement is directly related to the management's
antipathy.

You don't have to apologize for having a different opinion. My point is that
the forum needs help.l It looks like the forum is getting less and less use despite
supposedly more people signing up as buyers than ever before.

Those are good ideas! I guess the forum already has a button to hide the replies
but it doesn't move the posts up and I would argue it should be the default
setting. If people don't see something that interests them right away they
are not as likely to stay, read, and participate.

| It seems the forum isn't getting the same kind of community involvement as
it once did. It is fairly common to see less than 100 messages per day and I
had to go back to July to find a day that had over 200. The way the forum works
right now it can be very frustrating and time consuming finding posts of interest
as even new posts get buried quickly under 2 or 3 more active posts and that
makes it difficult to participate in the forum if you do not have the time to
browse or search through it. In terms of utility the bricklink forum is not as
easy to use and enjoy as say brickset forum. There are a lot of good parts of
the BL forum but I feel it is largely being ruined.
My suggestion is that when a post is responded to the post itself moves to the
top but it doesn't show up as a new message, so if a post is made and has
10 replies it will still just look like one post on the forum. I would also like
to recommend that certain categories get put into a different area apart from
the forum so maybe for example buying and selling, inventory change requests,
and sales posts could be seperated from the rest so they don't bury the rest
of the posts out there and stagnate the forum.
The goal would be to allow more people and ideas to participate in the community.

| | I'm trying to sort my Bionicle arms
but I have a hard time identifying the dark grayish colors. I've found these
six variations (numbered from left to right). Here is what I know:
#1 is Dark Bluish Gray
#2-#5 look "pearlish"
#5 is Pearl Dark Gray
Either #2 or #3 (or both) must be Flat silver because they best correspond to
a Flat Silver bionicle eye also shown in the image (the angle of light may not
show their colors being the same, but they are rather close).
#3 is a bit more silvery than #2
#5 has a golden tint compared to #4.
There is a pearl light gray part in the bottom (a fish) to show that none of
the parts in question is that color.
Any help is appreciated.

| | Could we add marbled to the list of sell able colors or to add it so we could
select it for want list colors? Something like that.
And could we maybe have a area where error parts or unknown parts could be listed
for sale. Or any item that is kinda a error. Just a spot where we could list
or search or oddities.
Also side note about these. Maybe if you do list items for sale in these areas
there will be something that says "it is really encouraged to use a actual picture
of the item, if you are listing in these categories".
Something along these type lines where people could find the not so common type
stuff and those really rare one of a kinds.

Good suggestion, the 2x4 collectors already have 3001special and it works very
well

| | While I agree with you, it is possible to drop a package off at a Post Office
on Sundays or holidays, in which case, I think it is right to consider it shipped.
The Post Office doesn't have to actually be open to mail a package.
Other than that point though, I completely agree. It should be considered Packed
until it leaves your possession.

What does the rules say about it now? I thought that an order wasn't considered
shipped until it was actually being shipped.
