| Most of my first time customers have said that they had difficulty finding the
pieces they wanted when first coming to Bricklink. Perhaps a link on how to navigate
the catalog or use the wanted lists, or a guide as to how to learn what piece
you need on the main page may be useful to people first coming to the site. I
believe this should be prominent.
And the "How do I find Items?" page is not what I'm thinking about. Maybe
a short youtube video explaining where the numbers are on Lego pieces, what they
mean and how to look for pieces you don't actually have. ie set inventories.
Thanks for considering,
Tyson.

Wilbo, did you click on the link and read the page? It's not very useful,
especially for a new user. My point was it should be more prominent than what
it is currently and more helpful. Which Jennifer has pointed out is in progress.
I hope when the video is done it is front and center on the main page, not buried.
The main page I believe would be used by new users most. I don't think very
many return users use it, but that may be a bad assumption on my part.
Tyson.

Did you click the correct link, as it provides a buying tutorial explaining step
by step the process:

| Hello,
You are in luck! This project seems already to be in progress:
'Creation of a new user welcome message with a video tutorial'
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2453
I agree this will be a very helpful feature.
Jen
