I canceled my auto insurance (Nationwide) in March 2023 because the monthly rate
went into the triple digits (ridiculous for someone on disability and currently
unemployed), and I also sold my car. Now I drive my mother's old car (insured
through Progressive, which is MUCH cheaper than Nationwide), and I use the extra
money left over to (of course) buy more LEGO on BrickLink.

| Come on you reds !
So happy to see my non league football team Kidderminster Harriers return to
the top division just below the major leagues. (minutes ago ).
Made my year, it’s not been good so far.
Only had a very outside chance of the play offs, had to win all remaining 6 games,
did that.
Qualified for play offs and faced three away games to get promoted, won all three
and we’re there.

| Not such a stupid question, it is plugged in and switched on at the socket.
However your suggestion prompted a thought, I unplugged and used a different
socket, it worked.
I now know I have a broken socket not a broken tv or defective firestick.
Amazing what comes to mind when you discuss a problem.

| Just wasted two hours trying to get a firestick to work, never had one before.
Tried following instructions and loads of online trouble shooting methods but
cannot get anything but “ check connection, no or weak signal “.
All three ports give same result.
Just adds to my reluctance to add technology as nothing seems to work how it
should, clearly I just don’t understand it.
There always seems to be something else I should be doing that just isn’t mentioned
in the instructions as if I should already know.

Why can't there be an automated process that analyzes the form submission
and simply tells the user that they've entered the wrong destination for
the query they've submitted?
A lot of form related issues boil down to whether the form submission is properly
screened so that the queries get directed to where they should go, and make a
lot less work for admins to do.
If it returns an error or can't find a department that the form submission
should go to, then it gets manually forwarded to an administrative address that
analyzes why the submission fails and adjusts the analyzing process accordingly.
People, by their very nature, do not want to have to comprehend which department
they're trying to contact. However, since they have to, the form submission
analysis software needs to tell them that the message would be better suited
for another department. If they insist on proceeding anyway, the form success
page should point out that they might not get the response they were expecting,
because the department they want is not correctly specified.
This would help reduce the incorrect submissions, by how much is anyone's
guess.
My point is that there is computer software and resources that can deal with
this, instead of having a person deal with it. This should make the Help Desk
administrative tasks a lot easier to manage.
Just my 2c worth. Make of it what you will.
Cheers ...

| I'm a cataloger by profession, in a library. The quality of the catalog is
the legacy of every institution! And, sadly, the least appreciated effort. Thank
you for recognizing the work that goes into maintaining that legacy!
| The hardest job at Bricklink, in my opinion is the taking care of the catalog. A
hundred years from now this will be the legacy of Bricklink. The catalog here
is the best possible, much better than the Lego group's knowledge of what
they sell. With my OCD I loved to catalog my sets and making sure they were
complete even before I decided to sell the collection.
These admins deserve all our praise for sorting through all the requests and
the changes Lego made to the sets including different inventories for the same
sets sold in the US and Europe.
Again, this will be Bricklink's legacy.

I would hazard a guess that many of the members reporting 'Catalog problems'
either wouldn't know to direct their issue there or would direct non-Catalog
issues there. It's not entirely clear to most new members what that distinction
is. We get messages on the Forum all the time asking our Inventory admin to help
with someone's store inventory.
When I was admin, I got tons of messages asking for help with buying or for an
interaction with a seller. I believe it is best of all messages to go through
the main Help desk and then they can redirect the small subset of people who
are actually inquiring about a Catalog issue and not a site issue. Also, experienced
catalog contributors already know how to contact an admin directly and wouldn't
need a separate portal for that.
My two cents...

Thank you Russell. I did forward it to them, however why could the help desk
agent not forward it and let me know in the future I need to send corrections
to the API documentation there?
|
Because the API channel is completely separate from the Help Desk. In order to
properly get into the API channel, the user must report directly to that email
address. Otherwise, the request can get lost or it's difficult to respond
back to the original user. We've had such problems in the past of messages
being misdirected or falling through the cracks that we are trying to be pretty
strict about this. This is what our Help Desk agents are instructed to do - it's
not about whether they feel like forwarding a message or not.
| Also, maybe the bug reporting page should note
what it is for if it is not for all bugs related to Bricklink.
|
The API is a specialized service that we tend to keep hidden from the general
public. For better or for worse, this the way it has always been. If it helps,
think of the API service as a different company, like XE.com which currently
provides exchange rate services. You wouldn't go to BrickLink customer service
to report a problem with XE.com
In the same way, our customer service agents are instructed not to answer questions
related to the catalog and catalog contributions. Instead, they ask the user
to direct their question toward our catalog admins. They do not forward messages
to them as if we were all in one big office.
| There are so many errors in the API documentation that it makes developing against
it painful. I would even volunteer to keep it up to date if manpower is an issue.
|
For every correction to the API Help Pages, someone needs to test and verify
how the API is currently working. As with many Help Pages on BrickLink, they
have fallen behind and need upgrading. But it's not something that is likely
to be done overnight. It takes work from the community who is using the API and
it takes work on the other side to confirm, test, and deploy changes.
If you keep at it, I am confident you'll be able to get every error corrected.
It just may take a while.
|
I have a small list on my Discord with issues I've reported multiple times,
but not recently, I will mail them to the API mail address again. I'd be
happy to help test and update the WIKI.
I work with the API daily (for BLS Manager), and am in contact with multiple
sellers that develop software using the API. I think that I know a lot of the
quirks that it has .

Think of this from the user perspective...
When I have or see a problem, I report it to the help desk. I think that is all
we can expect from the average user.
That user does not need to know that there is not one helpdesk, but three. The
landing page should simply direct the user so the information automatically gets
where it needs to be.
When the user comes to https://www.bricklink.com/helpDesk.asp, there is op option
for "API problem" or "Catalog problem". The user will simply
choose which option seems to fit best.
If there was an option here to choose, the user could be directed to a page with
the proper instructions for these specific issues. That would improve the user
experience and reduce the workload for the help center. Looks like an easy to
implement WIN-WIN solution...

Maybe time to ask why it has always been that way.
The new bride is making her first big dinner for her husband and tries her hand
at her mother's brisket recipe, cutting off the ends of the roast the way
her mother always did. Hubby thinks the meat is delicious, but says, "Why
do you cut off the ends — that's the best part!" She answers, "That's
the way my mother always made it."
The next week, they go to her grandmother's house, and she prepares the famous
brisket recipe, again cutting off the ends. The young bride is sure she must
be missing some vital information, so she askes her grandma why she cut off the
ends. Grandma says, "Sweetheart, that's the only way it will fit in the
pan!"

Even better... When you have a vector file, let it remain a vector file.
It can be printed sharp at any size

True, however BL does not allow scalable vector graphics (svg) files. An, sometimes,
when converting from jpg/png to svg some colors may be lost.

| Purchased an minifig for about 12SGD from this local seller (Tuahbui) about 2
years ago.
He sent the wrong item and I informed him about it. Initially he accept that
it is his fault. However, he decided to change his words after I told him to
collect it back or refund the return shipping fees.
Things escalated to PayPal. And PayPal decided to do a refund to me. Yet this
seller has been sending harassments mails for the past 2 years or so. Words which
are demeaning and highly offensive. Calling me names and label me as a scammer.
The details were sent to the admin here but nothing was done. The stop-list doesnt
work too.
How do I go about it?
Am about to file a defamation suit soon.
|
Read all the comments. In short, case is 'closed'. Bricklink admin got
involved and told the other party to stop contacting me.
Things would be easier if there is a block chat function.
And to some who have misread.. I do not reach out to him more than 90% of his
message. FYI, his message is no less than 100 over the 2 years. Sending nasty
emails to me especially on public holidays such as New year, Christmas and so
on. In any case, no reason for me to reply him unless his message is way overboard.
Harassment be it online or in person is a serious thing at least in Singapore.
Thanks to all who gave helpful advice.

You are not doing anything wrong. When you go to do the edit, I would recommend

No, but images are reduced to 640 pixels in width if they are bigger than that
(AFAIK, height is not limited).

No. I saved the edited file as a png, it will not degrade as much as a jpg does
when saving it over and over and over again.
Attached is an extreme example, you would not want to use this for much.

| Hi gang!
This set :
Contains a rather nice map on a stickersheet
I would very much like a high resolution scan of this, please
My plan is to photoshop/move the "x marks the spot" all the way up to
the nose of Jutland where I live. Then upsize it (as much as the resolution permits),
get it professionally printed, framed and hang it on my wall
This set is not likely to ever get parted out and I don't feel like paying
150-200EUR for a stickersheet. For that amount of money I could just go to Billund
and buy the set
Thank you in advance

You should @ joshbeagrie as he is likely to have a larger version of the image.

Maybe, but you can barely call that “new” and it certainly wasn’t (even presented
as) a move to be eco-friendly.

No not new, old hat actually
So two decades of declining quality!
I seem to remember that move was done so TLG wouldn't be dependant on just
one supplier (BASF) but could source pellets and colour from around the world
That went really well

| Hi gang!
This set :
Contains a rather nice map on a stickersheet
I would very much like a high resolution scan of this, please
My plan is to photoshop/move the "x marks the spot" all the way up to
the nose of Jutland where I live. Then upsize it (as much as the resolution permits),
get it professionally printed, framed and hang it on my wall
This set is not likely to ever get parted out and I don't feel like paying
150-200EUR for a stickersheet. For that amount of money I could just go to Billund
and buy the set
Thank you in advance
Cheers,
Ole

Hi
Unless you are a 13 year old girl getting emails from a 40 year old man trying
to set up a meeting, the police do not take it seriously. "I am being harassed
on-line about some Lego." You really think the police here would be all
that concerned? America is really under staffed all over with police officers.
There is a finite number officers and there is a plethora of complaints. "Which
call should we go to and investigate, the one where the wife was being beaten
by her husband or the guy that is getting harassed by email over some child's
toys?"
Can you see how silly that is? If I was the police taking the call I would say
"Suck it up buttercup."

We don’t have the content of the messages or the whole story, both of which could
change our perception one way or the other. This kind of thing can escalate
to death threats or worse.
When it comes to that, the origin of the feud doesn’t matter (“his great-great-grandfather
looked at my great-great-grandfather the wrong way when they were in kindergarten!”
said Mr McField to explain his murdering Mr Hatcoy).
So, not knowing more, I don’t believe it should be advised to “forget it.” Those
platforms I was talking about have explanations and forms and ask for details:
if what happens to you doesn’t fit in, you don’t fill the form, or your complaint
is dropped. Again, not the same as wasting police time.
