| Hi! I would like to submit a Software Change Proposal (SCP) for your Configuration
Change Board's (CCB's) consideration during the next requirements review
(based on a read of your report last year, it sounds like you have a CCB and
good process in place, which is completely awesome!!!).
I'm not conversant in your page/data field names, so: When browsing or searching
the catalog, say by color, the system does not "remember" or cache the color/category
list view I select in a single login session - even if I never leave the catalog.
For example, if I'm in Catalog-Parts-Colors-Dark Blue, select Technic, Connector
part category, and change my view to Thumbnail Gallery (vs. the default List
view) and THEN click on Colors in the navbar to browse to a different color,
I have to go through view selection all over again.
While it may not sound like a big deal, there is a latency to reload the part
category page each time. And it's kind of annoying when finding part numbers
for hundreds or thousands of parts over time. Ideally, the system would remember
the user's "view" selection throughout the logged-in session, at a bare minimum,
regardless of where in the catalog they click to.
The system DOES remember your view if you use the back key to navigate back to
the main color selection page. So there is code in there that I would guess is
repulling the database on the GUI each time, which refreshes the user selection
back to default, when a user revisits a catalog section from the top navbar.
Unsure of proper wording as I'm not too conversant on your field/page terms,
but I suspect it would be something like "The system shall retain the end user's
last-selected view preference within the catalog (List, List with Images, Thumbnail
Gallery, Category Summary, or Year Summary)for each logged-in session."
Ok, that is worded pretty lousy as I reread it, sorry! I think you get the gist
though.  Thank you in advance for adjudicating this item, regardless of acceptance!
And thank you for all the hard work you and your team do for us. Bricklink has
been an invaluable resource for allowing me to part out older large sets for
assembly as part of my pain management regimen (discovering for the first time
a pure love of Legos five years ago at middle age! ) and soon, to be able
to sell all my extras to at least save a little bit of money on my new habit.
