Yes, the guy's putting it back I guess?

Anyway for 1 or 2 hours I can't see ANY inventory to buy, so OP's pretty
"safe".

Been very vigilant about any change:

- Immediately closing the store when it gets re-opened
- Deleting any added inventory
- Adding hacked messages back anywhere they delete them

Doing what I can until an admin pops up

That's the name of the game.

Consider yourselft lucky, you didn't have anything serious to do today/tonight
I guess!

I'm off a bit. Good luck!

Don't! Maybe Nubs is the hacker after all! Ya never know...

Idea, just set up a minimum buy of $999999, maybe the hacker won't see it,
so nobody will buy

He reads the forums since he’s deleting the messages so I don’t know if that
would help (tho he stopped deleting the message so he may have given up?) but

I apologize to the forum for spamming

Don't: simply do not post new threads!

Admins are probably sleeping / AFK / Not Available as of right now.

I don't know what to do. I was Hacked. I foolishly fell for a well times
phishing email and the hacker got access to my account.

Just be patient.

The hacker has changed my email, changed my username and is trying to upload
expensive sets to my store. PLEASE HELP I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Do NOT log off, make you a coffee pot.

Empty the inventory from time to time - it's a couple of clicks, nothing
difficult.

Stop panicking, just stay awaik and wait for tomorrow.

He must be the first one who gets tired: not you!

I really don't understand why I should stop making posts but OK. Does anyone
know how this will be fixed? What am I looking at for recovery?

When you or someone else replies to an existing thread it shows up at the top
of the list. Also if everything was in one thread it would be easier for admins
to sift through the info, now they have to sift through 100 posts of HELP ADMIN

The messages in one thread makes sense. I apologize, I was just freaking out
and they were deleting my posts so I wanted to make sure it was seen. But thanks
to Nubs and others help it's definitely visible now. Unintentionally I've
flooded the forum more than originally intended, so again sorry.

No worries

this is a serious issue so as long as the convo continues it will
stay at the top so as soon as an admin is online who has the right privileges
they will see it and take action

I'm getting weird emails too. I don't have anything in my shop, and my
last order was a month ago (Which oddly was Par18!). I guess I'll just keep
checking my account to make sure nothing is messed up. I put the shop as closed
since I didn't know I could do that.

Hacker might be harvesting information from previous orders and sales.

That would make sense. I already also disconnected my paypal, and checked that
to make sure there weren't unknown transactions. That was the only money
thing connected.

Because at the minimum it won't help you.

It's 01:04 EDT - you'll have to wait AT LEAST until say 9:00 am EDT or
such.

Wait for some move in your shop like closed by an Admin "Preventive Action"
or such.
Or a post in forum.

Make a coffee, delete from time to time, just stay there.

Plus I’ll be here for a couple more hours to keep you company so you won’t be

I’ve seen stores suspended for preventative measures, so if there’s enough to
get admins attention they can suspend your store
One thread of your message and everyones replies should help them get up to speed
much quicker on what the problem is

ADMIN,

NEW INFO 2: I believe this was done so that I cannot send the request to change
emails as it now says there is already an account with that email.

NEW INFO 1: I got 2 more weird emails. One was confirmation for signing up
to BrickLink under the username par16 asking for email confirmation. another
was a login from a new device. I did not click either.

I don't know what to do. I was Hacked. I foolishly fell for a well times

The hacker has changed my email, changed my username and is trying to upload

Hacker, continues to delete all my messages, re-open my store, add inventory
etc.

Unfortunately spamming the forum isn’t going to help get their attention quicker
I know it’s frustrating, but please try not to keep flooding the forum by starting
new threads every few minutes.
There’s a fair few people replying who will help keep your thread at the top

By "raw wood" you mean non-treated opened grain wood? And by "non-permanently
attach" the reasonable ability to remove at some point?

Hot glue gun - In which adhesion is applied and withdrawn with temperature.

I've looked at ~50 stores and I didn't see any social media links on

I would like to get some inspiration for my builds, as well as to learn more

How is it determined which items are featured in the "Featured items"

seem to be a rhyme or reason, because there are some really obscure things
there sometimes, like this Paradisa minifig. None available, none sold, released
in 1993, and on a staggering 5 wanted lists

Minifig No: par016a Name: Red Dots on Pink Shirt - White Legs, Brown Ponytail Hair, Closed Mouth

par016a (Inv) Red Dots on Pink Shirt - White Legs, Brown Ponytail Hair, Closed Mouth

So why was this Paradisa one (or any other featured one, for that matter) chosen?
Does BL randomly pick a handful out of the newly added items?

How to download size and comments columns

Hello!
Two questions on how to download inventory from BrickLink:

a) For a full download of all parts in the BrickLink catalog, I would like to
include the size dimensions (cm). There is a checkbox option to "Include
Dimensions", but this downloads the information in stud size, not in cm.
Is there an option to include the cm size dimensions with my download?

b) For a download of my own store inventory, I see that it pulls in the Remarks
column. However, it does not include the Comments field. Is there an option to
include the Comments field as a column with my download?

Thank you,

Stop spreading FUD please.

Here I feel compelled to intervene. With all due respect, both to you and my
Forum associates, tacking the word "please" at the end of a condescending,
dismissive statement is the discourse equivalent of spreading chocolate frosting
on a pile of merde.

Speaking strictly for myself, I can't buy into the notion that UTLF was spreading
Fear, Uncertainty, or Doubt. BrickLink members should have the perfect right
to raise intelligent and legitimate questions regarding perceived BL staff actions
(or lack thereof) having to do with account security, personal information, and
equal policy enforcement, regardless of how loosely they may word their concerns.

It is not at all presumptuous to expect a community of grown, intelligent human
beings to express increasing frustration regarding the resolution of raised concerns,
particularly when said concerns are met with unhelpful, curt, and dismissive
replies replete with toxicity.

Look...I don't want any enmity between myself, you, or any other BrickLink
denizen. May I please make an attempt at restating what I believe are the issues
at stake in this thread?The collective goal of these people is not to stir up
a hornet's nest. All they're looking for is regular, honest, and open
communication from BrickLink staff regarding issues which, left unattended, could
potentially and negatively impact both users' BL experience as well as BrickLink's
reputation. To be sure, "reputation" is in no way used dramatically here.
If people feel they can't buy or sell LEGO products on BrickLink, they'll
be happy to find their way to BrickOwl, Amazon, eBay (shudder), etc.

The logic behind regular communication should speak for itself, provided that
it supplies useful information. Not all of us understand the finer details about
the labors and dedication it takes to run BrickLink (me included), particularly
under the shadow of TLG's rightful oversight. But most of us acknowledge
that it's no cakewalk, either. Almost all necessary tasks requiring arduous
effort can be termed as thankless. That being said, regular statements regarding
the status of current anomalies shouldn't be too much to ask. Let us suppose,
say, every fortnight? Once a month on the same day (e.g. the third Friday of
each month)? The statements could be as short or detailed as BrickLink staff
desired.

Ex: "Hello BL Community. As we are all aware, last Tuesday this site was
maliciously hacked by Darth Vader of the Planet Vulcan, who threatened to melt
our brains if we didn't pay him a monthly tithe of all collected BL fees.
In response, we have taken the following actions...(etc. etc.). At this time,
we cannot predict when this crisis will end, and we beg your continued patience.
If the issue isn't resolved by (date), we will post another update on (date).
Thank you."

One last thought. I submit, with an admitted degree of trepidation, that threads
like this one would be shortened and be less emotional in tone if we all made
an effort to be as understanding and civil as possible. I am guilty of having
given in to the temptation to "own" my detractors on the Forum in the
past. I was wrong, and I can only hope that my all-too-wordy reply will result
in something positive.

With all Respect,
- Bond

Thanks for understanding the situation and contributing with a voice of reason.
I wish more would do this. It would make a difference.

I have a feeling BL is run by corporate IT. In general, IT doesn’t make good
management (also management doesn’t make good IT). However, when corporate IT
runs the company they tend to make a small box within which to operate the company.
On the other hand, the right management will bring vision to a company and drive
the IT department out of their box. In my opinion, BL has been focused on small
boxes in which to operate for a long time, which leads to my suspicious feeling.

Your interpretation of Spaghetti Code is off base. Spaghetti Code can be edited/updated
but it takes much longer than clean, well-documented code.

My reference to Spaghetti Code and the size of the code base was to try and give
some sense of the challenge the current developers face when fixing problems.

There is another factor beyond the condition of the code base that will affect
how long it will take to fix issues. The site was built on top of 20+ year old
technology using a language that has fallen out of favor. From what I have seen
by peeking under the hood with some browser-based testing tools the past few
months, there is a lot of work taking place to update the site using modern languages
and clean-up the spaghetti code.

Thinking Captcha is easily implemented would be like thinking Notre Dame can
be rebuilt in a few months. You have to peel back many layers of changes to
understand if a fix is going to undermine the structure in other places.

I and others are not being apologists or shills for Bricklink; we're realists
understanding true change will take time and will require some patience.

Do I like the spam, CBD ads, etc? NO!!!!!, but if reporting them when I see a
new one is the cost of allowing the Dev Team to focus on long term fixes then
it is a price I'm willing to accept. If the price becomes too great then

Some of the plates are completely discolored (not partial as you would expect

Nothing you can really do except note the differences in the listing.

NC about 30 minutes north of Myrtle Beach, SC. At this point, I have NOT liquidated
anything, so my full inventory is available and hasn't been cherrypicked.

I have approximately 111k parts in roughly 10k lots with a BL 6 Mos avg of
around $9.5K. I would like to nab a 40% sale price. Also available at a bargain
would be about 30 TuffStore cabinets with hundreds of drawer dividers, at least
a 100 lbs give or take of unsorted lego, and maybe another 150 pieces or so of
unlisted minifigs. Inventory quality is a mix of new and used with the used
being very good and the drawers very accurate, as is confirmed by my 100% feedback
score after 2 1/2 years of selling and 1600+ orders.
I'm not opposed to shipping, but it would be expensive for you. I would
much prefer for you to come on down to my neck of the jungle and bring a big
van, or a small trailer. I can shrink wrap the cabinets with inventory inside,
but because I am keeping about 20 or so cabinets, some of the inventory would
need to be bagged. Pictures and/or a Brickstore file is available on request.
Shoot me your thoughts, questions, or comments.

After all, pizza is the solution to everything, right? Maybe add a little mustard
if that will help - dijon ketchups too.

Pizza would help but the mustard would make it worse!

Pizza and mustard are a combo code that will end with bugs crawling through it.

Well a good set would be 8293-1 it brings all power functions stuff to make things
motorized but it is a bit pricey. I think the best option is to buy each part
separated as it may be cheaper.

Thanks a ton! I found a couple on there that definitely helped me and I still
have a bunch of pages to go through! I was having issues finding old/sold posts
on ebay and this site seems to have them! I never thought to use worthpoint because
it always asked me to join to see prices of anything… may have to join! Thanks
again!

I have a new with broken seals 6276. I am trying to find out the bag count in
this set so I can confirm completeness. I feel like everything is there but want
to be sure. It does have (4) pieces that arent bagged and I know those are correct.
I have gone as far as asking Lego and they couldnt find it in their databases.
any help is greatly appreciated

Heres a simple answer, you can't post a link if you have no feedback.

No feedback, no links. People asking for help don't need to post links to

First of all, you are an awesome grandpa! Last time I was using motors I used
the "Power Functions" system. There are a ton of youtube videos and some
amazing books. I'm a huge fan of Japanese LEGO designer Yoshihito Isogawa.
He has a bunch of books teaching you how to make different mechanical systems,
drive trains, gear set ups. Its amazing what you can do with LEGO.

Here is one of his books: https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Power-Functions-Idea-Book/dp/1593276885
