It may require a small design change, waiting to hear back from the proprieter or *gasp* actually working. So then all my carts expire after about 2-3 days and I have to work on rebuilding them. It's enough to give up and source parts elsewhere. Sure, I can save screenshots and try to save in Brickstock but these are extra unnecessary steps. Likely there is a variable somewhere in the bowels of the BL code that could be changed from "72 hours" to "720 hours". If Amazon, Target, and the Owl can remember my carts indefinitely, I don't think it's asking too much for BL to do the same. And for those who would complain that it's unnecessary, tell me also how it would inconvenience you to have a longer cart timeout. Brian Agreed. 3 days is way too short. And since it is tied to end of day, if you start a cart at 10 minutes til, your cart will be gone in 2 days (and 10 minutes). I'm an impulse buyer, so I will go and open 10 carts at once. At that point I am often narrowing choices and waiting for funds to come in. Sometimes the funds come in and all my carts are gone---and I'm too lazy to try and remember and figure out what I was doing. A side point to make here. Where is it obvious to me as a buyer when my cart is going to expire? How many new buyers have been turned away because in the middle of their excitement over finding a new site to buy Lego the cart that they had worked on for 3 days is suddenly gone. When you feel like crying, you don't feel like buying. Katie
