| I think the new design looks great! But I have one suggestion. In the old design
when I browse to a specific category to find the part I want, I could see all
the colours that part was in right away in the part list. Now it seems like I
first have to click on the part link, and then click on Color Images to see what
the colors are, so it is two extra clicks.
For me when I look for a specific part, one of the first thing I look for is
if it exists in that specific color I need it in. So my suggestion is to make
it quicker to find out what the different colors a part is in.
If there is a quicker way to do this that I have missed, please let me know.

And a solution to that could be to in the "[ List | List with Images | Thumbnail
Gallery | Year Summary ]" list also add an option "Detailed list" for example,
that displays all the colors for a part and perhaps som more information.

Hello!
Just curious, by 'right away in the part list' do you mean the page with
the colored square indicators? with the headings of For Lots for Sale: or Known
Colors
This view is still there on the Color Info tab for each part.
Hope that helps!

Thank you for your answer. I mean after you clicked on for example Bricks in
the Parts page you get to the "Catalog: Parts: Brick" page. In the previous design
there was a horizontal list below each part where all available colors for that
part was shown. I can't see that list now. The way I can see what colours
are available now is to first click on the part and then click on either Select
Color of Color Images, right?
The way I use Bricklink as a buyer and MOCer is often to look for if a part is
available in a specific color that I need. The new design makes it a bit more
difficult to display that.
I don't know if others feel the same but I would like if the list of avaiable
colors for a part was easier to display then it is now. Another suggestion is
to also have the list when you click on the image of a part.
I don't mean the available colors should be removed from where it is now,
but just have one more place from where it is easier to access it.

That part of the site didn’t change with the new update¹.
You’re talking about that page, aren’t you?
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&catString=5
¹ It changed months ago.

Never seen that.

|
If you click on a part, you go there
http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3005#T=C
and the bottom “half” of the screen presents three tabs: “Items For Sale,” “Color
Info,” and “Price Guide.”
“Color Info” is preselected and shows colors and numbers for “Items For Sale,”
“On Wanted List,” “Price Guide Info,” and “Known Colors”
| | […]
I don't mean the available colors should be removed from where it is now,
but just have one more place from where it is easier to access it.
|
Having the colors in the category page could be useful but also space consuming.
The first listed brick (3005) has more than 50 known colors and ten more with
a price guide.

It is this view I am talking about
http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n177/randal1208/General%20Toys/Humans/YoJoe/brick_zps1daf838e.png
There seems to have been two ways and two interfaces before for browsing parts?
It might take up more space, but I find it quite useful to have the available
colors right away then have to click two more times.
My suggestion is to have one more viewing option in the Parts-view called "Detailed
view" that shows colors as well.

I am not clear on what you are saying has changed.
So, for the old design: You would click on a category (let's say Tile) and
then scan through the category to find the part that you want (example: 3069b).
You would click on that link (3069b) and it would show you all of the colors
of that part available in the store.
Is that accurate? Because it still works exactly like that.

Sorry for confusing description in my message.
The way I used Bricklink before was to click on the Parts link, then click Tile
for example, and then I got a list of all the types of tiles there is, and below
each tile (e.g. 3069) there was a horizontal/vertical small list of what colors
that were available for that part. So I got the list of available colors for
a part quite quickly just after clicking on the Tile-link.
For me as a MOCer and buyer I often search for specific colors for a part and
if it does not exist I change the design and try another part. So getting quick
access to that I personally think is great.
I'm not sure though if there were two types of interfaces before regarding
parts?

I see. I thought you meant while you are in a store, sorry.
Unfortunately, I never browse the catalog using those pages, so I can't really
help with how it is now vs before.

As you say, very useful for MOCing (though I most often look directly by item
