I'm sorry to be so negative but the changes to the catalog's part view page are TERRIBLE. I buy on BrickLink, I sell on BrickLink, but BrickLink is also an invaluable resource when building. I need to be able to look up a part and see at a glance the whole list of known colours and what ones are currently being sold. It is really not acceptable to load the page and then have to click a drop down list to see colors, then click known colors, then scroll just to see what those are, and then have to do more work to see what is being sold of each. It's really, really, really not useful compared to the old page layout. The old page layout had this visible immediately when the part page loaded. Please change this back as soon as possible. There should be a list of all known colors and a list of all colors for sale at a minimum. This is important because there may be known colors of some parts but they aren't for sale. Also, it's generally bad idea in UI design to use a drop down list with more than 8 or so options. If this cannot be changed back then the drop down list should at least be made bigger so you don't have to scroll. I switched this to a suggestion so people could vote. I say, bring back the colors. Has it been established that this is a format change and not just a bug or a temporary experiment? The tabs are still coded into the pages, they just aren't being displayed. If you are handy with Firefox and CSS you can get them back. Makes me think it's not a permanent format change. I hope you are right about it. I'll wait and come back when this gets fixed. I can't do anything useful on Bricklink that I need to do right now. Miro
