Yes, your bluser number can be seen by going to your Account Info page. The
second bit of information there is titled User ID. That's your bluser number.

Someday in the distant future, when we're all dead, they'll eject us
from the system and make us blusers, too. Not too fond of the idea, as I'd
rather be remembered as StormChaser, not BLUSER_13161.

Doesn't matter what I want, though.

I'm BLUSER 9140

Can you please reply to my post in relation to site performance issues? I'd
like to at least know they've been acknowledged/started to be worked on.

As already been noted, people don’t read the FAQ before posting their questions.
Why do you believe they read all the previous questions? (Especially on a slooowwww
BL day, like this, er, month.)

But for some forum junkies, people just read the announcement and ask their question(s).

Well the high number of views against each post and the number of subsequent
comments would suggest they are being read and whilst some people are repeating
certain stuff from the FAQ including myself to a certain degree I think its just
because people are looking for a litttle more elaboration on what's previously
been anounced.

Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 1237  Name: Honda Asimo Robot
* 
1237-1 (Inv) Honda Asimo Robot
56 Parts, 2001
Sets: Technic: Model: Robot

* Change 4 Part Black {3704 Technic, Axle 2 to 32062 Technic, Axle 2 Notched}

Comments from Submitter:
The notches are visible in the instructions scan at https://lego.fandom.com/wiki/1237_Asimo_Robot?file=1237B.jpg in the left bottom.

The mold change was in 1996/1997, this is the only later set that has 3704 in its inventory.

Yes a blank option would be great. While AfterPay or Zippay won’t integrate with
Market place platforms, a blank option will give us the availability to use an
alternative payment solution

Afterpay
Zip Pay
or at least have a blank one so that we can input our own custom method.

  Please implement 2FA or some other additional login security to BrickLink account.

Please don't. I've dealt with 2FA supporting medical and financial software
for years. It's a pain to set up, and the training curve with too many users
is a vertical wall. I've yet to see a 2FA provider who doesn't have outages
every few weeks, and your phone is NOT secure. For what is a retail operation,
over complicated processes and ticked off customers lead to less of a retail
operation. Add in the expense of doing this internationally, and you will see
a notable jump in what TLG has to skim off the top for fees. Not something that
any of us want.

Use paypal, tie it to your credit card. That will give you security for your
money. If you're worried about some getting in and messing with your inventory....
Don't invent things to be scared of.

  I can't help myself from returning to this topic.

But I'll try to make this post the last thing I say about it. In a recent
response to a different post:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1176109

Russell said:

"Many historic accounts, such as major contributors or Dan's own personal
account were intentionally untouched by the process."

So this means that someone at BrickLink made a determination based on subjective
criteria about who would be erased and who wouldn't.

All I'm saying is that an objective standard should have been (and still
could be) used: if a member ever contributed to the catalog/inventories, then
they should not be turned into a number.

Erasing contributor usernames is a breach of the promises made here (and in other
places):

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2472

And beyond that, it is simply disrespectful.

I support the idea of proper 2FA. Messages to a phone or mobile device (via SMS
or otherwise) is not proper 2FA. Supporting the U2F standard would be perfect
IMO, its designed to be a 2FA solution that avoids all the problems of using
phones as a 2FA solution. And its open and well documented (and AFAIK designed
to be easy for sites to implement)
It can (if implement correctly) even help stop phishing attacks (where someone
creates a fake web page designed to make you think its the real page and then
uses that fake page to steal login information or otherwise do nefarious things)

On your My Inventory page in the extra options Search My Inventory you can enter
a set number.

  In the price guide it will tell you how many parts you have in inventory
for a set. I want to know what those parts are.

Check the option Show Items in My Inventory to see if you've got the items
in your inventory on the Catalog page:

Thank you. I'm lost. I do not see an option that works.

Man, I love me a good game of Splendor! Such an awesome game. My wife and I play
it all the time, along with our other favorites: Catan, Carcassonne, and Pandemic.

Catan is very frustrating for me. The game usually ends very abruptly. Now
and then it is obvious a turn away, but in those case there is usually nothing
to be done. It is often difficult to even tell who is winning until it happens
and suddenly all of my plans are for nothing.

Another vote here for Azul and Wingspan. We also play a lot of Scythe, Terraforming
Mars, and Tapestry recently.

Carcassone, Agricola, and Belfort are my all time favorites. I can't play
Catan... dice don't like me.

  I am replacing a few parts on set 7038-1 Troll Assault Wagon and noticed the
two flags included are listed as different variants....the dark blue is lefted
as "wave left" and the pearl gold as "wave right"

My set has the opposite style flags, and the instructions clearly show both flags
as the "wave left" variant.

If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the inventory page:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=7038-1

you will see the following sentence:

View a log of completed changes made to this inventory.

Clicking there will display the history of changes made to this set's inventory.

  Is this a mistake in the inventory, or did the set
really come with both flags pointing in different directions?

According to BrickLink's timeline the flag change happened roughly around
2008, which is the year this set was released. So it's quite possible that
some 7038-1 sets came with left flags, some came with right flags, and some came
with both.

I see, I see. Thank you for the information. Since the flag change happened that
year, would it be correct to submit a change request for the flags and list the
"wave left" variant as the regular part since it appears that way in the instructions
and part list, and the "wave right" variant as an alternate item, do you think?

The inventory should indeed include the "a" type as regular part and the "b"
type as alternate part for both colors. I have submitted the change requests:
https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=262880&nID=1176544

Thank you for doing that!

Man, I love me a good game of Splendor! Such an awesome game. My wife and I play
it all the time, along with our other favorites: Catan, Carcassonne, and Pandemic.

Yah, Splendor is awesome. I love the "compactness" of the game, both in the amount
of "game parts" and in playing time. Azul is similarly compact, and also very
addictive.

We play Carcassonne with a friend. We are working through all the (official)
expansions (minus "The Catapult" - that one just doesn't fit). Haven't
played Catan for quite a while, never played Pandemic. If you haven't tried
Wingspan, give it a go. It is one of the most beautiful games out there.

Game on!

I'm sure people would be willing to pay a small fee to use it. I would.

What's it worth to you?

I'd pay $5-10 for a months access. Personally.


I don't use it too often, but when I do, I need it a lot all at once. So
I'd rather not have to sign up for a whole year.

I've hosted it here temporary:
https://avbricks.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/web/index.html

I just ordered a proper domain, so it'll move soon.

Thank you so much! I used it quite a bit, a great time saver. 😉
  
I think the costs for running this will be less than €20 pr year I'll
serve it for free for you guys, enjoy

As long as you are sure that the photos were never mirrored in an image program
before being uploaded.

Yes, this is a risk with these parts. But fortunately I made sure that they are
not mirrored.

So did I.

Unfortunately, I can't do anything more than that.

As I go through updating my postage for the USPS rate increase in effect on Monday,
I'm reminded that we still don't have the ability to use zone pricing
based on zip codes for shipping. We all use the same zone groupings, so we would
just need a chart set up like we do for international shipping, but with the
9 zone fields. I end up overcharging and giving refunds if the amount is excessive.
Thanks,
Romy

  Your first version of goatleg you did, the black torso, blue arms returns 19
results.

That is correct. It's a bad result set. It is returning blue arms, sand blue
arms, medium blue arms, etc. Not just blue arms.

My first take.

Took a long time to load for me. I don't necessarily attribute that to whatever
code you have going on, but just saying.

Search for Yellow Head, Any Stud Type, keyword: scar. Returns zero results.
I believe this should return 38 results.
I believe this to be at least in part a flaw in original goatleg code.

Search for Black Torso, Blue Arms, no hand color selected. Returns zero results.
I believe this should return 8 results.
I believe this to be at least in part a flaw in original goatleg code.
With yellow hands also selected, returns 3 results. I believe this to be correct.

It appears that for any search all dropdown options must have an active selection
to function. I would suggest this is not the optimal solution as sometimes arms
or hands may be swapped on a torso. Also if you want to find all heads with glasses
irrespective of what stud type something has...then I don't think three searches
should be required to achieve that.

At narrow screen widths the wrap is malformed or something...button gets cut
off. Screen Grab attached.

Would be nice if the layout better adjusted to a narrow (phone) layout.

Good start, though.

I spent some time rewriting goatleg so that it will be easier to update and maintain.
Functionally should still be the same.

And the old version

Thanks to 62 bricks for sharing


I actually like your older version better but great job either way. But what
you have to figure out how to do is is to get it to stay at the top of the bricklink
page after you start your initial search so we don't have to go back and
forth to different boxes after each search.

I bought some new black hoses. 1 were black but the others were very dark gray.

I noticed others listed the black hose with description telling it is dark gray.

Are both colors authentic lego?

  So: there is a somewhat recent trend in society of erasing people from history.
A number of different reasons are used to justify this. In this instance, privacy
appears to have been the reason. Obviously I disagree with that trend.

Agree 100%.

  It amazes me that I'm putting so much effort into explaining the effects
of erasing history. I think I may know the reason: nearly everyone alive today
grew up in cultures where everything is disposable. It is a logical extension
to see humans in the same way. I'm arguing against that way of looking at
the past. I'm arguing for treating people with the respect they deserve
and keeping promises. I'm arguing against erasure.

I am hesitant to agree with this train of thought, but only because it makes
me sad, and I try to keep seeing the positive in the current generation. Then
again "things" happen where I see people who just don't seem to care, and
I tend to gravitate towards this darker view.

I guess what I am saying is I try to hope for the best, but fear the worst.

Oh well, enough of all this, please forget this old man's ramblings. It is
almost beer o'clock, and time for a couple of board games. Who is up for
a round of Azul, Splendor, or Wingspan?

Niek.

Yes, this is a risk with these parts. But fortunately I made sure that they are
not mirrored.
