31201 is currently listed in catalog as "Harry Potter." However, it is listed
on lego.com as "Harry Potter™ Hogwarts™ Crests" which is a bit more explanatory.
Thank you.

In your experience, do you think this is something that is on anyone's radar
to fix? Or should I accept the change and rewrite my XML generator? Thanks.

---Steve Ransom | Ransom Bricks

I have just reported it as bug again.

  Hi friends---

I submitted this to BL as a bug report with the new facelift but was told it
was user error.

If you set up your store to have quantity breaks, then all the divisions will
show, even if your actual quantitiy is below one or more of the breaks. See the
screenshot from my store.

The solution, per BL, is to never have a quantity break set up that exceeds current
quantity. There are two problems with this solution.

1. A buyer doesn't have to buy the entire lot. A buyer could leave a lot
at quantity 1 and afterwards, all the quantity breaks would still show.

2. The XML mass upload proceedure requires sellers to set up three price breaks
or none at all.

So I propose that quantity breaks should be hidden when the actual inventory
count is lower than any relevant breaks.

Please weigh in! Thanks!

I agree. What you want is how it used to display in the old design.
The new design screwed it up

My wife and I agree that more caution is needed when implementing changes like
what was done to the order screen. We're frustrated with the new format and
it seems terribly unfortunate that the entire layout was altered to implement
one tiny innocent suggestion. I'm surprised that these new changes weren't
made optional; after all, there are a ton of customization options for the order
display at ./orderSettings.asp. I assume that all these options exist because
BL members use the order page for many different applications. I would recommend
that the new developers try increasing BrickLink's already extensive personalization
capabilities rather than reducing or ignoring them. Thanks.
