Comments from Submitter:
These are the wrong wheels for the set, as can be seen by the PCC 4299119 in the parts list, their appearance on the box, instructions, and other images, and the fact they must attach using a pin connection, not an axle.

| Please make changes to the following inventory:
* Add 1 Part 2446pb26 White Minifig, Headgear Helmet Standard with Ferrari K. Raikkonen Pattern
* Change 1 Part {Trans-Green to Trans-Light Blue} 4073 Plate, Round 1 x 1 Straight Side
Comments from Submitter:
In the instructions the light looks green, but the PCC in the parts list links to light blue. I am not convinced the submitter who changed this was working from an actual set. All the images I have seen of this set assembled (both official and unofficial) clearly show trans light blue. It doesn't make any sense, either, to have a green light on a road vehicle.
The second Raikkonen helmet is visible in the instructions - it sits in the far right corner of the shop in a special display area. See p. 51 (4514156 or 4524010).

I hate to point out the obvious but, these types of Macros can be added in with
a little code work. The vast amount of Open source and PAID forum modules still
work off a baseline brick and mortar setting. I'm do not consider myself
a professional coder but have taken time to do some reading and getting help
over the years with people who have some experience and adding this type of Macro
Modification to something else is NO where near as hard as people make it out
to be.
I can even give you an example using the wrong method to do it with the Emoji
DB that piggybacks on 99% of the Forums out there. You assign a Macro tag to
something and make it call on an image. you change the emoji image to the Part
or Set Db and WHAM instant Macro that you all know and love. That's the
Rough and dirty way to do it. There are better ways but this is using what is
already out there. Its not Freaking Brain Surgery like some people around here
make the site out to be.

I never said that these features are difficult. I just named two features that
I do not want to lose in an update.
|
I'm with you,I was just pointing out that your request and consideration
is 100% possible to ANY forum. I love the macro myself..

| YES. This is a business killer for me. I started using Bricklink before the
feature was in place, ordering parts to complete sets to sell. And the feature
was really nice for that, but with the small part quantities I could find decent
prices without it- but I really wanted that feature and was glad when it came.
Then I pushed the business forward and began to make MOCs to sell. And they
are selling! With the ability to compare prices I could manage my parts supply
and started to put in much larger Bricklink orders in a fraction of the time.
Today I'm trying to place a 1000+ part order and don't have the time
or patience to wade through the stores with ridiculous prices to find parts at
a reasonable price. And if I do I'll end up with orders from 20 stores instead
of 5, and the only winner is the USPS.
I sell on eBay where the buyer is heavily favored, and now I'm supposed to
buy where the seller is heavily favored?!?! That's a losing proposition
on both sides.
I know the system wasn't perfect but it helped a LOT. If this gets read
by the Bricklink staff, please consider the fact that buyers like me will simply
go away if we can't turn a profit.
Thank you for an AWESOME site. Please help make it easier for the buyers to
buy. That will ensure that buyers like myself will continue to buy, grow our
businesses, and grow your business.

The links can indeed get me what I'm after but the point was that I would

This can be done even now but as I pointed out earlier the replies get clipped
off after they get too long and thus you cannot stay on the main thread to read
everything. Instead, you end up having to go chase down the replies one at a
time to read the whole thing.
In a typical forum, you would click a topic/post to see the original post and
all of its replies. You can then read the entire reply and all that follow it
till the end of the thread. Everything is available on that one page unless paginated
In this forum, you click a topic/post, get to read the original post, and then

through individually to get the whole picture.
I would just like to see all of the replies made viewable and readable by way

Thanks for pointing this out. I hadn't noticed that before or the button

I think those 2 give me pretty much what I was looking for. That works I guess.
I still say the forum could be spruced up a bit and polished some but at least
I can read through it the way I wanted to now. Thanks

I agree with the suggestions above. Definitely put something in there to at least
let folks know a baseline.
If you don't have the quote option available, perhaps enable it.
If the buyer buys only a few light items, we'll invoice them, but we'll
also sometimes send them a follow up message to let them know the shipping charged
is the actual shipping cost, no fees were added. It's just expensive to
ship internationally. We'll also let them know how much their package weighs
at this time and let them know how much more they could add to the order for
the same shipping. That way, if they happen to need any other parts that we have,
it might make the high cost of shipping more worthwhile.
Sometimes they still cancel. Somewhat understandable if the cost of shipping
is more than the items. However, still a bit frustrating when you have quotes
enabled and at least some informtaion on shipping on your terms page.

There are too many changes between set versions to try to include both in a single inventory (37 different lots the last time I checked). However, for the few changes that do happen to be reflected, they should at least be correct. There are three suitcases in each version, 2 red and 1 yellow in the first, and 3 black in the second.

You don't have to click submit after just one. You can pick a new status
for several orders, and then do the one submit click. So not "change status"

This is the problem, this is very slow and inefficient. I have currently sold
over 3000 orders on Bricklink over the past couple of years and those 2 clicks
per order turn out to be 6000 clicks when that could be reduced considerably.
That is a little bit of extra time that can be allocated to more important tasks.
| | I don't see how a different method would save a lot of clicks, you
would still need to select which orders you are changing the status on. Now maybe
if there were hundreds of orders a day needing to be changed I can see how this
would be a benefit, but I'm guessing its not that many.
|
I change the status of some orders that I receive payment, one by one. No way
around that with BLs current system, though Paypal Onsite/Stripe cut down on
that considerably, nothing to be done about money orders and checks. But once
I have all my orders that have their status already set to Paid and since I ship
them all at once it would be nice to change the status of all the orders from
paid to shipped. The other websites I sell Lego on, allow for this. Bricklink
does not.

Maybe I'm just having a bad day and not understanding things.

I have been wondering for some time, is there a way to change the "order status"

- "submit" - "change status" - "submit" etc, but rather "change status" - "change
status" ... - "submit".
Niek.

| You misunderstood me, I want to change the status of all "paid" orders
with 2 clicks total into "shipped", whether it is 5 orders or 20+ not change
the status per order, one by one . Clicking submit after just one is a little
silly.

| Thanks for the response.
When I come home after shipping all my orders, I go to Orders Received page
and make sure to only see "Paid" orders or "Not Yet Shipped" being they are
all the orders I just shipped. The current system only allows for changing
one order at a time from "Paid" to "Shipped" when I would like to change all
order statuses at the same time.
(refer to picture)
For example, in Gmail, you can select a toggle on the left side of the screen
to select all emails. Then you may change the status to "unread", "read" etc.
I would like to have some similar functionality to eliminate the tedium.
Cheers,
Captain Q

What I'm thinking of (and possibly what QCHUCKA meant) is something which
would allow you to select all orders in a certain status (for example, all orders
in "Packed" status) and have them update to the next available status (Shipped)
with one click. How it is now, a seller who ships many orders per day has to
manually click the drop-down menu & select the new status for each order individually,
then submit changes at the end.
Let me know if I'm misunderstanding but I think it's a great suggestion!

I hate to point out the obvious but, these types of Macros can be added in with
a little code work. The vast amount of Open source and PAID forum modules still
work off a baseline brick and mortar setting. I'm do not consider myself
a professional coder but have taken time to do some reading and getting help
over the years with people who have some experience and adding this type of Macro

to be.
I can even give you an example using the wrong method to do it with the Emoji
DB that piggybacks on 99% of the Forums out there. You assign a Macro tag to
something and make it call on an image. you change the emoji image to the Part

Rough and dirty way to do it. There are better ways but this is using what is
already out there. Its not Freaking Brain Surgery like some people around here

In lieu of a full overhaul, it would at least be nice if the current forum was
a bit more dynamic for larger screens/resolutions, and if it were made so that
the full replies could all be read from the primary thread.
Right now you can go to a primary thread and see all the replies in sequence
at the bottom, but you can't read the full reply if it exceeds a certain
character count, and it doesn't seem to show any of the nested sub-replies
except at the very bottom in the reply "tree".
Example: (https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1010950)
If it could be changed so that we could read the whole reply for all the replies
and sub-replies on the thread from the main thread page that would be enough
of an overhaul for me

What might be considered an asset to you could be a detriment to others. Certainly
our Forum appears outdated, but I am not at all anxious for the designs to be
updated to fit a wide screen only. Many of the newly updated pages are doing
just that. The content needs to be dynamic to adjust to a smaller browser window
for those of us working on an older device or with 2 windows open at once. Large
fixed-width pages are a hassle for many of us and having to use a horizontal
scroll bar to try and read a line of text more then 120 characters wide would
not be an improvement over what we have.
I do hope improvements are made and that the improvements reflect the needs of
all our members.

I would certainly hope it were done in a dynamic way to accomodate both wide
and standard screen formats, and ideally a wealth of resolutions to boot

The first thing you should do is to put a shipping cost table in your store terms.
Then at least buyers has a theoretical chance to see shipping cost before placing
an order. This of course only works for those buyers who actually read store
terms
I have shipped 900+ orders and never had a buyer ask for order cancellation because
of shipping cost.

A shipping table in your store terms might help. I wouldn't expect people
to go to USPS and enter details to figure out rough prices.

^As he said. Also add weight limits so that they know that they may be able to
add more items to the order without increasing shipping cost. I have a chart
that you may look at as an guideline, however I have not updated the prices since
the last time they went up. For me it's not much of an issue, I mostly sell
electronic instructions anyway.
Also it may be helpful to put the minimum international shipping price (~$13)
in the international shipping option name.
Unfortunately USPS has decided to do away with tiered shipping prices and instead
make everyone pay at an 8 oz price even if the package weighs far less than that
threshold.

packed/paid to "shipped" when the time is right. Is there a way to do this
that I don't see? It gets tedious changing the status one by one.
Thank you!
Cheers,
Captain Q

The A version of the part is by all accounts an outlier, and when looking at the change log for Oct 1 2012, we can see this line has been subject to one of those "double changes" where the log does not accurately reflect the intentions of the submitters.
In any regard, there have been that many changes to the original inventory that we should not hold on to any original variants too tightly.

Totally agree. There is no way the 'a' version of that slope was being
used in 2012.

There are several legitimate differences between the two versions of this set:
but the type of 75-degree slope is likely not one of them. Please see a usage
chart below of the A and B types. Please note, the highlighted cells contain
data that is suspect.

What might be considered an asset to you could be a detriment to others. Certainly
our Forum appears outdated, but I am not at all anxious for the designs to be
updated to fit a wide screen only. Many of the newly updated pages are doing
just that. The content needs to be dynamic to adjust to a smaller browser window
for those of us working on an older device or with 2 windows open at once. Large
fixed-width pages are a hassle for many of us and having to use a horizontal
scroll bar to try and read a line of text more then 120 characters wide would
not be an improvement over what we have.
I do hope improvements are made and that the improvements reflect the needs of
all our members.

I agree completely. This Macro thingy should be easy enough to implement into
whatever new forum they may or may not put in effect. That shouldn't bee
too big a deal, and has the side benefit of being the appropriate time to fully
implement it if it's currently lacking any features, or catalog sections,
etc.
I just feel as though this forum is lacking too greatly visually. If it were
improved it would become a more valuable assett to have, and a more useful resource
for everyone. This becomes especially apparent if you have a large monitor like

Being that your suggestion was regarding manners, I find it embarrassing that
it was so quickly discarded without an explanation! Sorry about that. We appreciate
your suggestion and users may now vote as they please.
Thanks so much!

How do we teach the next generation of people respect when major organisations

Is it so hard to respect people? Is our manners now so obsolete that a little
respect is too much? I am sorry but I come from an age where please and thank
you is standard, hello and good bye is an acknowledgement of another person,
and saying excuse me and sorry when injecting or creating various interferences
to another depending on the case, whether a little harm like crossing in front
of a person, or making a mistake and providing acknowledgement and sympathy to
the person I may have caused harm to!!!
Further this is a family site, can we not just leave the big nasty company behaviour
outside the website? And so BL ADMIN - It is so really so hard to add the words
like?:
PLEASE pay now - THANK YOU and maybe the following something like this:
for trading/using/selling through our service....
After all I give a lot of my time to making the store work, I am happy to pay
for the service/ use the website mostly, but the ride is not free and easy, anyone
who works a busy store will tell you that. So I really believe a drop of kindness
is a slight acknowledgement that BL is not shouldering the load of the site and
that it takes a community, as a whole to give and take for the site to work and
I think that others are also slightly disappointed that BL Admin is not always
acknowledging the effort store owners and buyers put in to make it work!
Please consider!
Thank you for your time,
Kind regards
Dave

Is it so hard to respect people? Is our manners now so obsolete that a little
respect is too much? I am sorry but I come from an age where please and thank
you is standard, hello and good bye is an acknowledgement of another person,
and saying excuse me and sorry when injecting or creating various interferences
to another depending on the case, whether a little harm like crossing in front
of a person, or making a mistake and providing acknowledgement and sympathy to
the person I may have caused harm to!!!
Further this is a family site, can we not just leave the big nasty company behaviour
outside the website? And so BL ADMIN - It is so really so hard to add the words
like?:
PLEASE pay now - THANK YOU and maybe the following something like this:
for trading/using/selling through our service....
After all I give a lot of my time to making the store work, I am happy to pay
for the service/ use the website mostly, but the ride is not free and easy, anyone
who works a busy store will tell you that. So I really believe a drop of kindness
is a slight acknowledgement that BL is not shouldering the load of the site and
that it takes a community, as a whole to give and take for the site to work and
I think that others are also slightly disappointed that BL Admin is not always
acknowledging the effort store owners and buyers put in to make it work!
Please consider!
Thank you for your time,
Kind regards

Hi.
I appreciate your points as I too come from the era where thank you and please
were much more common then they are now.
But I have to say, the gist of your message goes completely contrary to the idea
of showing respect. I don't say this because I am trying to be a jerk or
incite anybody in a negative way but just looking at your message I see allot
of disrespect being shown towards BrickLink.
Here is what I mean....
By saying this:
"Is it so hard to respect people? Is our manners now so obsolete that a little
respect is too much? I am sorry but I come from an age where please and thank
you is standard, hello and good bye is an acknowledgement of another person,
and saying excuse me and sorry when injecting or creating various interferences
to another depending on the case, whether a little harm like crossing in front
of a person, or making a mistake and providing acknowledgement and sympathy to
the person I may have caused harm to!!!"
And then following up with this:
"Further this is a family site, can we not just leave the big nasty company behaviour
outside the website? And so BL ADMIN - It is so really so hard to add the words
like?:
PLEASE pay now - THANK YOU and maybe the following something like this:

You are implying that because BL dose not use the words PLEASE or THANK YOU in
their request for money that all the bad things you mentioned in the previous
paragraphs apply to them.
You are even referring to them as a company with "big nasty company behavior"
problems.
To say all this just because they don't use the words PLEASE or THANK YOU
is quite a stretch.
Again, I am not trying to be a jerk and start something. If nobody else here
reads what you said in the same way as I do then I apologize for taking it wrong.

Hi Jim,
Your acceptance of the behaviour of people/companies/businesses and your lack
of understanding of my message is unfortunately why we have so many problems
today. The constant bullying and failure to accept that people are fragile and
lack of empathy is creating a world where people are giving up.
Many people, despite the access to communications are killing themselves because
they have lost touch with other people. It has been constantly proven that the
average human is a pack animal that can not live with others. In our current
society we alien each other by ignoring the simple things that make us warm and
fuzzy. By Acknowledging that a person is there or contributes then this person
feels self worth, and that what manners were invented for. It gave people a way
of addressing the support of others in way that was not demeaning or debase.
And so when companies and businesses ignore simple things like, hello good- bye,
please, thank you and the all important: we are sorry we got it wrong, it teaches
the new generation that they can be ignored too.
So often now store employees refuse to say thank you for taking your money, we
give them a job when we buy merchandise and they in turn can buy stuff they want
and need. A thank you is not debasing, it is simply acknowledging that the person
handing the money over for goods has obtained the money they have earned and
chosen to spend the money at this location - when they could have chosen another.
If you think it is acceptable for any company, (and BL is NOT small - just look
at the order numbers and how quickly they turn over), can ignore their manners
then young kids learn to ignore them, or fail to practise them.
So as a society we fail to acknowledge the person we deal with and in doing so
begin to crush their self worth. Look at the story of Pink Floyd's wall and
learn this story, there is so many like it now, each step that a person takes
can be forward, side ways or backward. A step in any direction is determined
by input or decisions internally. A person takes steps bit by bit to destruction
as they feel options and resolutions fade. Thelma and Louise was a story to watch,
here two woman decide suicide is their only option, when you watch how it happens
bit by bit it makes sense. If you watch only the beginning and the end you shake
your head and wonder why they did it.
So in the end manners have their place, you never know whether that polite hello,
good-bye, please or thank you could mean the difference between someone committing
suicide or stepping forward and having a productive life.
If you value people and care then please rethink your message above and learn
how important a simple word can be!!!
Kind regards,
Dave

We do not have manners now, we have cell phones.

I blame those things too although we don't all have to buy in to poor standards
just because others think it's trendy. Hopefully phones will soon have AI
and they'll be able to communicate with each other in their own rude language
without our involvement leaving us humans to go back to human interaction.
I agree with the OP's sentiment though, we always try to put basic niceties
in our messages even if they are problem related like NPB's

This suggestion got discarded before I had a chance to vote for it, but I did
want to let you know in the meantime I placed an order in someone's store
and said "please" and "thanks" in the order notes.
