Site Improvements & General FAQs

[vteeuwen]

Hi,

 

Don't know if this is the right place. But I still don't understand (as an interaction designer) that when I search for a product (like http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=10224-1) I can't add it to my collection right away (like Brickset,com for example). It would be a great step forward in my opinion.

 

Regards,

 

Vincent

 

Love your site/application btw!

The site is a work in progress.  There will be many changes and improvements coming in the future.

Hey Admins, the charts aren't loading, I've tried FF and Chrome. Is this a site wide issue, and when it would be fixed? No biggie mate, I know you guys work so hard!

They appear to be loading for me. I assume you are talking about your Brickfolio?

[thehornedrat]

Seem to have same issue since a few days. Chrome user.

I use Chrome and have issues all the time. It helps to clear out cache and browsing history. Restart your computer. Log out then log back in.

Please fix the issue with topic subscriptions. I keep having to re-follow a lot of mine every few days. Thanks.

There is nothing wrong with them, unfortunately followers need to be cleared every now an then on threads that have a lot of followers.  Once it gets over 100, it takes forever for it to post and thats when the double, triple posts start coming.  They changed the process in the upcoming new version to where it will always be fast.  Now every submit, it tries to send the emails out to 100+ members on that thread before posting.  Very annoying.

That explains why PM are so fast compared to threads for posting messages. :)

I've also been asking eBay if I can save my search settings as "eBay.co.uk / New / Sold Items / Price range:

I haven't been getting email notifications consistently the last few hours.  You probably know about it already, and I imagine it's from the extra traffic and the email server is taxed.  FYI though just in case.

Thanks for everything & Happy Thanksgiving!

I had the same issue, unsubscribed to the DD then subscribed again and it worked . The delay is to be expected .

Fascinating.  Do the email notifications get sent out in reverse order of when people subscribe to a thread?  I was #8 so that would make sense.

Worked again after clearing cache

[Jeff Mack]

I am getting lots of emails.

I was entering some purchases into my brickfolio and I realized that maybe a new option could be added under item specifics. NIOB (New in open box). I bought  a Vampyre Castle that looked like a kid had stuck his arm through the flaps fishing for pieces. They let me open the box and verify everything was there before buying it so the set is new but the box is open. Also there has been talk of members verifying sets before purchases made off of craigslist and selling sets on ebay.

Looking at the Forum Activity Feed, I think it would be helpful to exclude the quoted text and just include the new text in the post preview. http://community.brickpicker.com/stream.html. I really like that you added it back, since I thought it was really helpful. Thanks!

These stars?  If not which ones?

 

[rcdb1984]

Yea those. Past few days they are all circles now.

[Jeff Mack]

the screenshot i just took was from just a few moments ago, so I see stars.  If anyone else is having this issue please let me know.   

 

Please keep an eye on it for today/tomorrow and let me know if you do see the stars at all or not.

[speedsausage]

I'm having a similar issue where it is indicating I haven't read anything. I'll read a thread or mark it as read then a couple hours later it resets the majority of the threads as unread.

I just logged in as you and I see stars
