in your list of item for the 1880 set, you mention 3 of the green plant flower
stem (3741), but to complete the set you need 4.
Also, you listed 4 green window 1X2X3 shutter, which is the case, but on the
original list of pieces, there is 8 listed, I don't know why.

I had a crazy week last week and didn't get a chance to manually pull my

be somewhere that I can still see what I had in my inventory. Does anyone know
if this is possible? Otherwise, I have absolutely no way to find them in my shelves
without access to the old listing details. Am I just going to have to stumble
across them over time as I pull other orders and see them? I was hoping they
would go into stockroom with no option to relist or something like that, not
just completely disappear. I should have screenshotted it so I had a record of
my previous inventory and its location, but didn't get a chance to between
when I saw the notice and when they pulled the listings.

Did you ever download your inventory? (Download button at the bottom of the page)

But I'll try to make this post the last thing I say about it. In a recent
response to a different post:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1176109

Russell said:

"Many historic accounts, such as major contributors or Dan's own personal
account were intentionally untouched by the process."

So this means that someone at BrickLink made a determination based on subjective
criteria about who would be erased and who wouldn't.

All I'm saying is that an objective standard should have been (and still
could be) used: if a member ever contributed to the catalog/inventories, then
they should not be turned into a number.

Erasing contributor usernames is a breach of the promises made here (and in other
places):

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2472

And beyond that, it is simply disrespectful.

Catan is very frustrating for me. The game usually ends very abruptly. Now
and then it is obvious a turn away, but in those case there is usually nothing

and suddenly all of my plans are for nothing.

Another vote here for Azul and Wingspan. We also play a lot of Scythe, Terraforming
Mars, and Tapestry recently.

Carcassone, Agricola, and Belfort are my all time favorites. I can't play
Catan... dice don't like me.

Yah, Splendor is awesome. I love the "compactness" of the game, both in the amount
of "game parts" and in playing time. Azul is similarly compact, and also very
addictive.

We play Carcassonne with a friend. We are working through all the (official)
expansions (minus "The Catapult" - that one just doesn't fit). Haven't
played Catan for quite a while, never played Pandemic. If you haven't tried
Wingspan, give it a go. It is one of the most beautiful games out there.

Game on!

My first take.

Took a long time to load for me. I don't necessarily attribute that to whatever
code you have going on, but just saying.

Search for Yellow Head, Any Stud Type, keyword: scar. Returns zero results.
I believe this should return 38 results.
I believe this to be at least in part a flaw in original goatleg code.

Search for Black Torso, Blue Arms, no hand color selected. Returns zero results.
I believe this should return 8 results.
I believe this to be at least in part a flaw in original goatleg code.
With yellow hands also selected, returns 3 results. I believe this to be correct.

It appears that for any search all dropdown options must have an active selection
to function. I would suggest this is not the optimal solution as sometimes arms
or hands may be swapped on a torso. Also if you want to find all heads with glasses
irrespective of what stud type something has...then I don't think three searches
should be required to achieve that.

At narrow screen widths the wrap is malformed or something...button gets cut
off. Screen Grab attached.

Would be nice if the layout better adjusted to a narrow (phone) layout.

Good start, though.

Your first version of goatleg you did, the black torso, blue arms returns 19
results.

I actually like your older version better but great job either way. But what

I agree. But I will qualify that by saying that once you make some contribution
to the world, you may have to trade a little privacy for that. And BrickLink
has made no secret of the fact that contributions are credited to users. Everyone
should know the deal going in when they choose to contribute.

There is such a thing as later changing your mind and asking to be removed from
public/private records, but I don't believe that these contributors did so.

Bricklink in this instance is presumably attempting to meet compliance with these
new privacy laws.

Maybe. This is the general consensus. I think it was more of a case of a poorly-researched
law and an over-reaction.

The law is the law and the affected bodies must be in compliance or in violation.

Yes, but companies and individuals have the ability to challenge unjust laws.
Some have.

Bricklink in this instance is presumably attempting to meet compliance with these
new privacy laws. I'm not debating the efficacy of the laws, or the aesthetics,
or morality or anything else, because it's irrelevant. The law is the law
and the affected bodies must be in compliance or in violation.

Given that there are a number of users X whom, presumably Bricklink cannot contact
to affirm their willingness to allow their sh*t to be displayed on the site,
BL likely doesn't have a choice but to anonymize them. Well, they have the
choice to be in violation of the law, but I assume that isn't the choice
that has been made.

Melville and Shakespeare are long dead. You can't cyberpunk them and steal
their identities. The cases with the anonymized users are likely unknown.

I don't necessarily disagree with your general sentiments. But your sentiments
are not the law. BL doesn't have to disagree with your sentiments either,
but not being in compliance with the law is a whole different deal.

Apples and oranges.

Now go ahead and point out where I'm wrong, and I'll make another comic

Correction: perhaps the trend is not so recent. There was another time and place
in history when people were reduced to numbers by those in power.

Should I bring that up? No.

Is it in any way comparable to what BrickLink has done? No, there is no comparison.

I only mention it to illustrate the thought process that goes into disrespecting

The following is not directed to you, but to several readers who really don't

aren't getting it.

So: there is a somewhat recent trend in society of erasing people from history.
A number of different reasons are used to justify this. In this instance, privacy

BrickLink assigns each person a unique identifying number upon sign-up. This
is necessary for their database of members. Now it has reduced certain users
to that number, even though the vast majority (probably all) of them did not
request it.

I will present a couple of situations that may be somewhat analogous depending
on perspective.

Imagine a graveyard where the company that owns the graveyard has assigned each
gravesite a number. One day the company goes through and erases the name from
every headstone (or most of them) and replaces those names with the numbers they
have assigned to the plots. The reasons why they did so are irrelevant - it
should be obvious that this is not a wise decision on the part of the company.

Here's another: imagine that someone comes up with a numbering system for
authors and assigns every author throughout history a unique identifying number.
Then, one day, they have the power and ability to replace each author's
name with a number in all records kept by humans. So they do it.

And then we have Hamlet by Author_291763. Moby Dick by Author_9182772. 1984
by Author_3177634. I could continue, of course.

mfav makes the point that these contributors didn't contribute much and it
was a long time ago. He's saying that it therefore doesn't matter how
we treat them. Using the analogy above, then, if an author hasn't contributed
much to the collective human store of literature, then it's okay to erase
them. But Shakespeare, much as he desired anonymity, won't get it because
he contributed too much.

Of course, the logical response is that catalog contributions are not works of
art. That is fair, but they are still effort someone put forth with the understanding
and promise that they would receive perpetual credit for the volunteer work they
did. BrickLink has broken that promise and there is no way to justify that.
A username is not (and correct me if I'm wrong) PII.

It amazes me that I'm putting so much effort into explaining the effects

It is not right to erase people who have contributed to the catalog and turn
them into a meaningless number (and a username that rhymes with "loser.").

The first attached image shows people who have contributed a set inventory to
the catalog. For each person it was only one inventory, but it was time they
took out of their day or week to make a contribution.

The second image shows people who have added items to the catalog. One person
added 113 items. Another added 97 items. Yet another added 87 items. And so
on down the list.

Some of these unregistered users are no doubt dead. Some have moved on to new
pursuits. Some may be in a coma or in prison. Who knows why any one person
hasn't logged on or may never log on again?

BrickLink wants contributions. BrickLink wants an involved community. But when
BrickLink treats former contributors so dismissively, by erasing them into meaninglessness,
it makes me think they have no respect for contributors.

BrickLink contributors deserve better treatment than this. Anonymizing people
who have contributed to the catalog was a poor decision. It was a careless and
heartless decision.

I urge the site to reconsider the decision to anonymize any former catalog and
inventory contributors.

BrickLink contributors deserve better treatment than this. Anonymizing people

I urge the site to reconsider the decision to anonymize any former catalog and
inventory contributors.

This is what happens when regulators (read government flunkies) pull their snouts
from the trough of public money long enough to do something. It becomes an unmitigated
RFU. The privacy and scrubbing laws exist for a reason, what some might view
as a good reason, but a reason none the less. It is easier to place the burden
on a few companies than to make all individuals behave like responsible citizens.

But I will say for this process - at the same time as scrubbing members, existing
members who have contributed should be contacted and requested to agree that,
as part of the process of contributing to the catalogue, such contributions are
acknowledged. Furthermore, members contributing, must sign a waiver allowing
BL Corp to keep using the contribution and BL's acknowledgement thereof,
for as long as the site persists. When a member closes his/her account, they
must be reminded of the waiver again and agree again as part of the process of
closing an account. Members who choose not to outlive the site, must make sure
that their wills make provision for the contributions to be acknowledged as long
as the site persists. BL must just learn to manage properly, is all. Members
must just learn to be responsible, is all.

The heartbreaking thing is that sans BL managing this, all catalogue contributions
will eventually be made by BLUSERs. So why bother at all? Just acknowledge all
contributions as by BLUSERs already or, alternatively, manage the process of
contributing and membership a bit better. You cannot do anything about the lot
who never thought to give BL their permission to outlive their usefulness, but
you can deal with the existing membership in a better manner.

A username is personnal information that helps identify someone.

An example of what privacy laws entail:
When you go to the “I lost my password” page on a website, you enter a username
or an email address (another username, associated to an email provider).
The website should NOT answer:
  “Sorry, this username/email-address is unknown.”
nor
  “Okay, we know you, a message has been sent.”
The website should answer something like:
  “If we know about that email address, a message has been sent.”

You make a fine argument. And if we were all to agree with it, then this page
should be removed from BrickLink altogether (which you clearly support):

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogMembers.asp

But to answer your question, I'll give you one way in which it actually does
matter. Catalog and inventory administrators sometimes have to make judgments
about the reliability of information that members submit. Contributors build
a reputation based on the quality of work they've done in the past.

Looking back on past work done to know how reliable it should be considered,
it actually does mean something to be able to identify a user and not just see
that one the blusers did it.

This literally sounds like an employee of mine that needs to know for every task they do that we all know they did it. After awhile, it doesn't hold any merit and I really don't care. The task was completed and we can move on.

Yeah, but if you truly believed that, then you would refer to all your employees
by a number. You would say things like, "Employee Number 3827, go assist Employees
Number 99234 and 439 with the task they're working on."

But you don't. Because people have names and you treat them like people,
not cogs in your machine.

At least I hope you do.

We all know that someone had to do it and we are all thankful of those contributors,
whether they did 1 submission, or 100,000 submissions.

Maybe it is my older age, but I don't need the "satisfaction" that others
know it was me that did something. My satisfaction comes from others enjoying
something that was done, regardless of whom did it.

My suggestion, let it go and let those in charge, focus on things that need to
be done and let the trivial stuff whoosh right over our heads and leave us un-phased.
Not everything is going to be perfect and arguing over little things makes the
big things harder to accomplish.

I think most people would agree with you - the trouble is the big things are
taking much longer than anyone really anticipated to get to grips with so people
wile away their time with minor things. Maybe, just maybe if we concentrated
on the big things to let the new owners know our feelings we could help move
this along - maybe not - large corporates rarely listen in depth to what we have
to say (at least in the past, anyway).

This was done wholesale for a large number of users at the same time and thus
was likely NOT based on privacy laws. The likelihood that hundreds of thousands
of users simultaneously requested that their information be removed is remarkably
low.

The Help Center states:

If you have done any of the following, then that information and your user
profile cannot be deleted but all other information attached to your user profile
will be deleted:

•Placed or received at least 1 order
•Changed your username or a profile was merged into your username
•Added at least 1 item to the catalog
•Added at least 1 image small or large to the catalog
•Added at least 1 inventory of an item to the catalog
•Added at least 1 relationship to the catalog
•Added at least 1 link to the links section
•Added at least 1 inventory change request to the catalog
•Added weight, dimensions or color code for at least 1 item in the catalog
•Are an inventories verifier and verified at least 1 inventory
•Sent any messages to other members through the contact form
•Posted a message in our discussion forum and it is still there
•Moved a discussion forum post and the message is still there
•Are currently or have been before banned from Chat

I assume BrickLink decided that sentence in bold meant that the username was
part of the information that should be removed.

I get privacy laws and removing information attached to profiles, but taking
the username is what I have a problem with. I don't see any reason whatsoever
why it was necessary to go that far.

I feel like Bill in that I find myself making observations and then posting them
in the forum whilst saying, "Hmmmm." This is my Bill moment.

I just searched for the Where Are My Pants person from The LEGO Movie. The system
excluded 75% of my keywords. So . . . what's the point of titling this character
this way if 75% of the title is useless?

Wouldn't it be better to simply title him "Pants Guy" and leave it at that?

It is not the title that is at fault, it is the keyword exclusion that should
not be applied as is done now. The keyword exclusion is done at the programming
language level, deep below the original Bricklink scripts and are a feature of
the database engine. The exclusion list is intended to be used with plain English
text, not with specialized titles in the LEGO-language.
In the newer Bricklink algorithms, different search routines are being used and
seemingly the keyword exclusion is skipped.

Catalog search does:
- treat [space] ["x"] [space] and ["x"] equivalently
- split the search string on all other spaces
- recognize the exclude symbol ["-"]
- allow trailing asterix ["*"] for limited pattern matching
- search for all items in the catalog based on keyword search (and thus using
the database configured exclusion list)

The Store items search does:
- recognize color names at the start of the search string and show only parts
for sale in that color
- all of the above as with Catalog search

The All Items search and search within a store do the above slightly differently.
I have not taken the time to figure out how exactly but seemingly the keyword
exclusion list is skipped somewhere. And finally, Studio searches again differently,
always assuming incomplete matching (presumed "*" around each search term).

Conclusion: the title should be as complete and descriptive as possible. We don't
know whether some of the many search functions allow for literal matching or
skips the keyword exclusion.

I still don't know what the two searches actually do that is different. Except

Of course if you know he is called that then a search for "where are my pants"
in quotes finds him as a single keyword.

I'd love all "trans-" colours to come up when I type that in the Catalog
Search bar or especially My Wanted Lists. It does pick up one or two in the Catalog,
but even that makes no sense - why pick any at all? Same as on My Wanted List
- a mini-fig helmet with "trans-yellow" visor gets picked up (when I type "trans"/"trans-")
but no other trans-yellow or trans-other colour bits. Being able to use a wildcard
(*) would help.

I'd also like everything with pin/pin hole(s) included in the "technic" search
of "My Wanted List" - some are/some not.

version)

Hi,
I recently purchased a used 7662 MTT set. Instead of the 4460a reddish-brown
slopes listed in the BrickLink inventory, it came 4460b slope. I also noticed
the set listed 4460b slopes in DBG as a counterpart. I know it is a longshot,
but could someone who purchased this set brand new check if their set's 4460
slope has hollow studs or open studs. Thank You!

Parts: Slope

Based on the year of release it is possible that 4460b was included in later
production runs of this set.

Yep.

who has this part verify the correct dimensions?

Member Teos verified that inventory from a closed set, so I would trust it as
100% accurate.

But that verification was done in '08. The part in question was not split
into two different catalogue entries until '11. So the verification could
not be expected to encompass this part variant.

That open stud could be important for construction or not (I haven’t checked),
but it’s a cheap part so if it truly matters to you, you can always buy it and
swap it out.

I should have been clearer here. In fact, I was clearer, but BrickLink kindly
removed a large portion of what I said with an error message and I didn't
feel like retyping it.

The point is that inventories should not be automated solely with data from TLG
and it sounds like that's what you want. You need a human to actually open
the box and see what's inside to have a quality inventory. You need people
to generate the data that TLG does not include in their parts lists.

If you're dreaming that all inventories will be immediately complete on the
day sets are released, then you're dreaming of a system that produces inventories
that I don't think you'd care for.

I built the inventory for 71699. There were about a dozen regular old normal
pieces, for some reason just about every piece that has a clip on it, missing
from Lego's upload.

Maybe they are redesigning the clips again, and we will soon have a 4085e.

If you look at the reviews of this item on LEGO Shop at Home, you'll see
that many, many people are upset at LEGO for calling it "Green baseplate" when
the actual color (bright green) doesn't match the green baseplates that they
already had.
