Site Improvements & General FAQs

[Lego Templar]

Not sure if this has been asked/answered but is there any plans to make the app resemble the site? Like being able to see the flag below the names so we know where people are from/rep points etc. figured I'd ask

There is not much I can really do about it. The iOS/Android app is a third party app and it does not use all the features of each forum that it works with.  Perhaps one day they will add a feature like that.

Is there anyway to update the max size of pictures you can upload? 

Every picture I take with my mobile is always about 5-6 mb and I always need to edit it before uploading. I don't know if it's because I use browser to upload and not the app.

Try again, see how it goes.  I can't go to crazy with file size, it just eats up hard drive space, sucks up bandwidth and slows down pages.  Let me know if you still have an issue.

Can't you do that with the activity streams? You should be able to create as many as you want with what you want.

Not quite, because I can only INclude what I would like to see, but i cannot EXclude anything. Id just like to day "dont show THIS topic anymore"

[Scatterbug]

Any way I can block the Amazon API inserts? I know they are useful to many in the deals thread but I find them a hindrance to browsing. An alternative is to ignore posts by Jeff (sorry mate) but does the forum have that functionality? Couldn't see an obvious way of doing it.

[Jeff Mack]

Sure Ignore My Posts.

[Scatterbug]

Thanks - found the setting.

[Stud-Flipper]

We should be able to cash out our reputation for lego sets. But like something really high so yall don't go broke, like 10,000 total reputation gets a $10 set or something

Rolling back a few days to the topic of multiple log in stations causing errors.... I'm not sure how long ago it happened, but I've been logged out of the forum app on my iPhone. The issue for me, is that it will not let me log back in. 

In the app, if I tap the drop-down menu, the only button that actually engages any reaction is the Settings tab. If I click any of the other 3 it appears the button is being pressed, but nothing happens. I haven't been able to reply to threads. Not sure what to do. Has anyone else had this issue?

Being cheeky of course, but uh.... any insight into my question from a few days ago? 

[Jeff Mack]

@Zelgazra, the Canadian thread is now open.  The mods and I will start to direct content and Canadian users here.

As far as the issue about the app, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?

When trying to add a Yellow Submarine to my Brickfolio as 21306, it comes up as a Caterham 7 (21306-1) instead. Can you please amend - thanks.

No info for the Geoffrey the giraffe set, not that it will be worth much. At At is showing £102 new, think this needs correction. Thanks

OMG... You haven't been giving "them" your hard-earned money have you? When I had giraffes before the current fiasco kicked off, I just gave them out at random to eBay buyers (who sounded nice)as a freebie. It's surprising how much repeat business I get from gestures like this. It's a great way to offload hundreds of crap polybags too!

What I would like to see is a like/hate button for all the sets in the Brickfolio database as I'd like confirmation that the Ewok Village is at the bottom just below the Exo Suit which is just below the Simpsons House ;-) Like can simply mean it's a nice set or performs well and hate can mean it's an ugly set or performs badly.

Jesus Tabby! Take a breath! Have a stiff drink! LOL
"Them" had the technic race truck on discount at the time. I only go in store though, and generally only to price match when they have some promo.

I am, I've just opened a bottle of red wine to go with lunch which is an ostrich steak (cheap in Aldi but superb) with a pepperberry sauce cooked by me!

Oh.. you mean the resurrected 8041? This made me nervous of Technic as they can resurrect any set (of any theme for that matter) just as aftermarket prices reach the peak and then it's down.. down... down...

BTW... I've just got my 2x Arctic Trucks at £29.99 each delivered after being on Amazon back-order for weeks. One's a bit bent that I was going to build anyway and I'll sell the other shortly.

To keep to the topic... I think an Amazon link similar to the one on Brickset would be good but in real-time if at all possible?

Anyway, the Maciorowskis are doing a great job already!

As an investment it may have slow growth but the actual set is great. I get where your coming from because I wasn't really taken by it until I built it.

After building it i just want a bunch of sets to go with it to complete the scene.

I think you'd need a like for building and another for investment.

After all, Exo suit is great if you only bought one.

Any chance of getting the  CAGR by theme % list updated and a last upate date put on the page, please?

[Guest TabbyBoy]

I've just done my stock check to see what I have left over after my mass-offload this morning and I have these that aren't in the Brickfolio database...

60148 - CITY ATV Race Team

60151 - CITY Sweeper & Excavator

60152 - CITY Dragster Transporter

... can you add them please?

Thanks!

I am getting my email notifications about forum posts from threads I follow in delay. Sometimes even as far as two days late. 

Can it be fixed?

The delay is not from us, it is from your email provider.  AOL, Hotmail, MSN, a few others are very famous for holding emails when they see a lot of email coming from a particular place.  Not sure if you have any options to whitelist [email protected], that may help.  I use a third party SMTP server to help with delivery.  We have sent 2.7m emails since Nov 25 which is when much of all this deal craziness started. There is a good chance they are the ones putting it on hold.  The forum queues them up and just spits it out, this service just shoots it out from there.  As I said, I would look to see if there is a way to whitelist the email, that may help them find their way to your inbox quicker.  Gmail seems to get them just fine.

Thanks... I will check out the whitelist option.

Jeez, if only I had a nickel for the each email sent by @Jeff Mack 'a email system

[benmunyon]

Just bought set 70901 Mr. Freeze™ Ice Attack and it didn't have that uploaded to find it in your database. Could you add it?
