one additional tweak to give users the option to ignore specific threads?
Rather than being given the choice of ignoring entire topics or everything a
certain member posts, I think it would be better to just ignore specific discussions
that do not interest users.

To be able to mark an entire thread as having been read, would be almost as good.
But, I like this.

to be able to reply ONLY through BL, and not to my email address.
We have an address we use strictly for BL business and therefore, rarely check
it because we read our messages on BL. On occasion, we miss an email from someone
because they hit reply from their inbox instead of replying through BL's system.
This also prevents a record of the correspondence on the order transaction details.
(We REALLY like that feature, BTW!)
Could this be accomplished by not including the sender's email address on correspondence
(when they receive it in their email inbox instead of reading it through BL)?
Instead could there be a link in the message with something like 'click here
to reply to this message' that would direct them back to BL?

Would they pay for the order via the Bricklink messaging system also?

| | Please give sellers the OPTION to require buyers to select insure or not insure
when submitting an order in their shop. Currently, BrickLink only offers a single
checkbox for insurance only, which need not be checked for the order to go through.
As mentioned here:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=435576
having the buyer make a deliberate affirmative choice to insure or not insure
is better than the buyer making a passive choice which may not be a conscious
choice at all.
This could work similar to the "I Will Pay By" choices given by sellers who accept
multiple forms of payment, the "I Will Pay In" choices given by sellers who accept
payments in multiple currencies, and the "I would like my order to be shipped
by" choices given by sellers who offer multiple shipping options. See therobo's
checkout page for an example of these choices. If a choice is not made by the
buyer, BrickLink will not allow the order to be submitted. The order can only
be submitted if the buyer makes a choice. As with the shipping choices, each
seller could add a sentence or two explaining the insurance and no insurance
choices. I think allowing this OPTION could help eliminate or resolve some of
the problems that arise with orders that are lost or damaged during shipment.
Again, this is an OPTION for those sellers who want it. If anyone does not want
to use it, they don't have to.

Excellent idea.
I also like the idea where sellers could require insurance, and grey the no insurance
box.
I think it should be clear if a seller is collecting a fee and self-insuring
or requiring the buyer to pay insurance to the shipper.
This doesn't have to be part of the option.
BUT, I can see abuse potential where everyone is paying insurance and the seller
is using it to cover himself in case he loses a paypal charge-back, in which
case, the buyer is really only paying extra for a guaranteed no bad feedback
on a charge-back.
