I often have a similar issue where the website refuses to let me in. I discovered
that turning on Opera's built in VPN lets me log in instantly then i can
turn it off and the problem goes away for a few days.
Couldn't say what causes it but that seems to work for me, assuming our problems
are the same.

Stopping using PayPal would cripple you. it's the standard for online transactions.

I just stopped using Stripe because while it provides all the sales info you
could need, it doesn't integrate with anything outside of USA. It's pointless
in the UK.
Payouts are SLOW and you can't export shipping data to print labels with.
This means you have to transfer addresses manually to something like Royal Mail
Click & Drop, which is it's own disaster of a website. Paypal is the best,
and pretty much only option.

Also, i'm not sure the admins have any spare time to deal with any more of
your complaints /S

  It would be really helpful if the 'sales' posts in the marketplace discussion
page had a stores country flag icon next to the username. To be able to see at
a glance would save us having to click on each post to find out. Personally I
tend not to buy outside the EU because of shipping costs and taxes.

For this reason i put [UK] at the start of the subject when I re-announce the
sales i'm always having.
A flag would be very useful - i'm always a fan of standardisation.

  In searching through the categories for Lego sets, I could not find one that
included Lego games. Over the years Lego has produced many games: chess sets,
mazes, Heroica, etc. Is this omission an oversight or is it because there is
little market for used game sets? In either case, I felt disappointed in the
absence of such a category.

I've always followed a couple of rules that at some point i have read on
these forums:
If you can't find a set - check "Gear"
If you can't find a part - check "Fabuland"

Sets that look like sets, but aren't, are usually gear.

  Need some help, please:
I came across of two different shades of Trans-Dark Pink Duplo flowers.
The right one seem to be a bit more purplish with a more matt surface?
I've some of the right ones and some of the left one too...

Unfortunately I can't help with the Duplo parts but your photos look amazing!
What camera and lighting are you using? :o

  If there are no sales in the system (and no inventory in sellers' shops),
what would you suggest the price guide should show?

Niek.

I would like to see the absence of data simply as zeros, so like any other item,
I can discern how well that part sells. Seeing that this part basically never
sells is more certain information than seeing nothing at all.
The absence of the price guide makes it look like a catalog error.

  Price guide and images correctly exist for red and green, however red has not
been sold in the last 6 months.

I'm not able to view price guide for Red. shouldn't this still exist
despite there being no sales?

Firstly, I have no idea how to properly report this stuff. Any direction on how
to do so would be welcomed as I would like to help with reporting these things
when they come up. anywho...

 
Part No: 32526pb001  Name: Technic, Liftarm, Modified Bent Thick L-Shape 3 x 5 with Shock Absorber Pattern (Sticker) - Set 8241
* 
32526pb001 Technic, Liftarm, Modified Bent Thick L-Shape 3 x 5 with Shock Absorber Pattern (Sticker) - Set 8241
Parts: Technic, Liftarm, Decorated

Price guide only appears for green with option for red, however the red variant
shows as an option in the one set it appears in:

 
Set No: 8241  Name: Battle Cars
* 
8241-1 (Inv) Battle Cars
115 Parts, 2001
Sets: Technic: Speed Slammers

Red variant shown in set inventory that gives price guide AND green variant.

I'm not sure if this is a duplicate page issue or the price doesn't
show for pieces that have no sales, which it should imo, because otherwise at
first glance it looks like the piece does not exist in the catalog.

  If you send me a message, I can take photo and send it to your email. It is difficult
to take photo, then send it to my email then download it to my PC, then adjust
its size and then upload it here. I don't know how others do it in a better
way.

Otherwise, those windows with extended lip have glass. The glass of small windows
like 27, 29 is not fixed. In (about) 1980, there were no more glass on 27, 29
but 31 kept its glass (in 7760,...).
The lip is the lowest part below the glass. If you hold the window up-right,
the lip is extended further than the rest or body. So you cannot build anything
just in front of window as the lip wouldn't allow. (but TLG didn't care
about this as nobody would want to cover a window)

In Catalog Identification, Golbsco writes:
  A quick question: How do i identify whether a window has an extended lip or not?
such as on item number 31, there are multiple different similar mold types and
apart from the stud differences im not seeing where this "lip" is.

I have a ton of vintage parts to list and have ground to a halt at the first
hurdle.

Also I'm not sure how to hyperlink to the exact page of the item. I would
be very grateful if anyone could show me that also!

Many thanks in advance.

Will message you, thanks

They are almost all done already thanks to member axaday. He is just waiting

Cheers,

I too have thought about this but as mentioned above, it would no doubt limit
features as this site is crammed with tiny features that would make an app very
messy.
However, I would happily pay for the app which could go towards modernising the
main site *nudge nudge*
