seen a lot of good features from goatleg by 62bricks but i am less likely to
use them when they are on a separate site.

so if admin could please integrate these features into bricklink advanced search
somehow, or give 62bricks the authority to start implementing the features himself
here since he seems very knowledgeable about coding

Ack! - You've revealed my master plan! (Not to get hired - to show BL some
of the ways the site functionality could be improved...)

For the record, this doesn't require any actual coding. It's mostly basic
HTML, and is really only possible because Bricklink is still mostly basic HTML.
I fully expect that as the site moves forward it will update its infrastructure
and the little forms I've cobbled up will stop working. But hopefully by
that time, it will be apparent what features users really find useful and they
will be integrated into the site.

That's really the goal of goatleg - to become obsolete when Bricklink adds
the same functionality to the site itself.
