You really shouldn't compare amazon and BrickLink. They are two completely
different sites which run completely differently.

| If I'm not logged in (which I'm not on my phone), the POV page
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPOV.asp
shows prices in USD. Unlike the price guides on all other pages which show my
local currency (DKK). This means when I'm at a store, I must use a calculator
to convert the POV's to DKK. This is rather annoying. Please fix it.

| My sister gave me that cat in your sig pic for Christmas last year. I just recently
finished it. I delayed a long time because I couldn’t tell from the instructions
what it even was.

not sure it is the right place for this and most importantly, if company such
FB can afford such a yearly uptime, is because they know how to do their job
right (at least in the server architecture). Plus, the lower the downtime is,
the higher it cost, 99% is a lot more cheaper than 99.9999%, 1% of a year is
quite 3.6 days off. Lowest downtime are a few hours or even minutes.
The cheapest and easiest way to remove downtime almost completely would be to
set-up a mirror of everything (web server mostly) they have now, upgrade one
while leaving the other running with old stuff, do the switch (here could be
a minor downtime), then upgrade the other and finally enable both together.
Anyway, we don't know how things has been setup behind the scene and how
they are actually managed, except it is not done according to BL expectations.

| | Hey,
I'm a database administrator (Business intelligence specifically), and I'd
like to help eliminate the daily and monthly downtimes. The way I see it, if
Facebook can have an uptime of 99.9999% while rolling out new features, so can
BL.
Hit me up, I'd love to know what the downtimes are for, and help see if we
can design a better solution for those needs.

| Yes I would agree it would be nice but not sure that BL has the funds such as
a FB but would be nice to see some good improvments on this site as it has some
massive opertunity and doesn't seem like they have capitalized on all that
opertunity but maybe in due time we will see some great changes to make the site
improved for everyone's experience
