| | Hello,
Is it a new feature or me that clicking listings the VIEW-button doesn't
open a new Tab. (in Chrome).
Clicking on the item under Description and in VIEW opens the item in the same
Tab.
Clicking on the Store name opens the item in a new Tab, while expecting the Stores
Splash/Terms start-page.
Seems obvious that VIEW should open items in new tabs like the old button used
to do.
|
Also, I think they should do away with the multiple items on the same page thing.
Now we can't link to things like the price guide (except for the link to
the old version). These things should all be separate pages.

I've never had a new tab open when just clicking any link on BL, whether
using Explorer or Safari. I suspect this is something that may be specific to
Chrome, or maybe even a setting within your copy. I know Explorer and Safari
both have a setting that opens any clicked link in a new window/tab, but I've
never turned that option on. I know that if I really want it in a new tab, I
can force it to open a new tab. The only sites that do it automatically for
me are Hotmail (all links in e-mail, including BL want list notifications, always
open in a new tab) and Brickforge (clicking "Shop" from their home page always
forces a new tab, which is why I finally revised my bookmark to skip the homepage
and go straight to the store).
|
The problem is that with the new site, these links specifically won't allow
the user to open them in a new tab.
When I'm browsing items for sale, I'll open several stores in new tabs
so they all load at once and I don't lose my place on the items for sale
page. Then I look through each of those stores to see which store I want to buy
the part from.
This is another example of the HTML5 "progress" I mentioned in another thread.
Websites are constantly giving users less control over their own computers.

Easier: CTRL-post which posts in a separate tab, leaving the original un-lost.
No need to copy/paste.
Very useful when submitting a part-out verification which has a lot of edits.
Sometimes they time out, and I never lose the edits if I hold CTRL when clicking
a button.
I get auto-logged out each night at scheduled downtime. Does it happen more
often for others?

I've never heard of this shortcut before. It doesn't seem to work in
Chrome on a Mac. What are you using?

breakdown, should be altered.
As it stands now, a neutral will bring the percentile down. This, I believe is
misleading to potential buyers and somewhat unfair in nature. Many neutral marks
are received for perfectly satisfied transactions, as witnessed in the feedback
itself. This I think, is due to a general misunderstanding of the BL feedback
system. It is unlike many other site's feedback process.
I feel any neutral mark given, should be just that, carry no effect. Just
as it does with the numbers.
My motivations in bringing this up are unbiased, as reflected in our own banner.
I sincerely hope the Admins take this suggestion into consideration.

This shows implemented, however The neutral still has an effect?

The banner was altered by showing you a breakdown of neutral, positive and negative
when moused over now to help clear it up, maybe I was overzealous when marking
it implemented.
|
It's a step in the right direction, but I personally prefer popsicle's
suggestion.

This confuses me. They updated the pictures quite a while ago, but the text still
mentions the chatroom. Maybe they just overwrote the original image files with
the new ones and didn't modify the page? Still, it's amazing that the
chatroom references are still in place after all this time.

a new buyer, maybe a tutorial should be instituted for both new buyers and new

People don't want to read lengthy documents or spend 5 minutes watching
a training video before making a simple purchase. This is likely why people don't
read store's ToS (which many are quite needlessly lengthy in my opinion)
leading to this problem.
Many people (myself included) spend lots of time on here and get the feel for
things, but lots of people just want to buy something and go away - maybe they
don't even care for Lego and give it away as a gift. If the time to make
that initial purchase is too burdensome, you'll either lose those sales or
you'll keep running into this problem, in my opinion.
The only solution to this problem, in my opinion, is to have an industry standard
e-commerce check-out system.
|
Problem is this is not one business, but several businesses in several locations
with various degrees of shipping, payment and so forth, it is a lot easier to
do a tutorial then to try to come up with one wrap around program that will probably
cause rates for sellers to go up and take up lots of space and cause more problems.
|
Isn't it actually the exact same? If the tutorial doesn't explain all
the variations in all the processes in all the different business on here, it
is just as useless as not having one. If a new seller sits through the tutorial
and encounters a slightly different service agreement than what they just spent
5 minutes figuring out, they'll potentially place an order incorrectly or
give up.
Also there are many, many off-the shelf products available to handle e-commerce.
So, I'd say its easier to use something already existing than make something
new 99% of the time.
Would automatic checkout solve all the problems? No. It would probably even create
some as you say. But I believe it will be the only way to fix this specific problem
of buyers placing orders they no longer want.
Side question, what space? I'm lost and very curious on this.
|
you do know the space this site is on? they had to close up the Chat room because
of it.
furthermore a tutorial can give the basics like how to navigate, how unless the
buyer says free shipping, there will be shipping and so on. what you suggest
would be a disaster in the making.
|
It's my understanding that the chatroom was closed because it was a major
security problem due to sloppy coding, so they just scrapped the whole thing.

but is that part of the sign up process, or one of those things that is hidden
away and unknown, since I didn't even know of this video.
|
I didn't know about this video either. It (or something fancier) should be
part of the signup process.

| Suggestion: Ask the community for feedback before implementing any new features
or creating new partnerships. It seems obvious that the BL admins are out of
touch with what direction the community would like to see BL go, so this would
be a great way to prevent asinine decisions.
