is labeled as "underwater" when it has never
appeared in any underwater type sets?

Should it be renamed?

It has been renamed.

  Hi all!

Sorry for my bad english, but this idea I really want to share with you

I think that Bricklink need functionality for sellers to offer Promocode additionaly
to coupons.
Coupons can be used just by registered users and mostly work with returned buyers
But promocode functionality is a reason for seller to grow up his social network
auditory and could help to bring more new users to bricklink.

I think it should work this way:

Seller can set up many promocodes at the settings.
He can chose the % or fixed ammount for each promocode.
He can set up it same way as coupon (for parts or sets / new or used / additionaly
to current discounts or not / how long it will work for buyers (should be possible
to set up permanent promocode))

On the forum should be special Topic for promocodes. It will work instead of
forum messages like "coupon for each who write me here"

Promocodes are realy good working strategy for social marketing and also can
be added to the bussiness cards or to the store page or many other places.

How do you think about it?

I think that is a great idea and I would think that it would be quite easy to
implement at the checkout page.

Great idea!

Jim

  So stud-size dimensions have a legitimate purpose. If I'm building something,
I don't want to pull out a tape measure and start counting millimeters to
decide if a part I like (but don't own) will fit where I need it to fit.

That's true if the stud size dimensions are accurate; but when something
is really 1 x 1.4 but is labeled 1 x 1...not so much.

But by looking at the picture it is very easy to determine what is meant by the
1x1 size and it is easy to see that the tooth sticks over the edge adding a little
more dimensional size to it but at least you can know the general size.

Thanks for posting. As others have said, I don't think all is doom and gloom.
I, for one, am hopefully optimistic that the site will now have the backing
that is needed to fix the infrastructure that plagues us all.

With all the long, well thought out, responses being posted here on the topic
at hand I feel compelled to post a long response so that I do not appear stupit
to others here in the community. So in this regard, it is now my turn to submit
a lengthy response to the topic at hand and for this I have chosen to respond
in length to your optimistic view. So here we go:

+1

Folks, if anything is going to improve in the catalog, we need to give some freedom
and grace to our admins so they can try things out. I can understand if people
get frustrated when they find something has changed and it no longer works for
them, but please understand that we have the long-term interests of the site
in mind, and also that we can adjust and/or reverse any decision that is made.

Regarding these sleeves, we have needed to add them to the catalog for quite
a while now, because of the need to search by the number printed on the sleeve.
Strictly speaking, this is not a PCC, but it's still a number people can
use for reference. Specifically, we want to give the ability to sellers to sell
the parts in the sleeves without having to open the sleeves. The only way they
can do this is to have a reference database showing the contents of every sleeve.

Because our partout system is not yet capable of handling subparts, we're
probably not going to be able to add these sleeves to the regular section of
inventories. Maybe if we change the image and description we can do it, but right
now sellers will end up listing things in their store that buyers cannot identify.

Please have patience as we make some adjustments.

I think this is a long time coming and a darn good add to the catalog. I hate
having to open the cardboard packages to know what is inside them.

Thank you for adding them and the hard work you guys are doing in regards to
things like this! Whenever changes are made there will always be a good number
of people who will hate the changes which I can respect to a degree for there
has been changes that took me a while to get used to but as mentioned, we need
to give some latitude to the people in charge of making these changes to see
what works and what does not and give constructive criticism and not just criticism.
