| | Hi. 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.
|
That's what I am thinking too. This must be an error.
|
Also, once you get the lots for sale listings to show, some of the filters are
broken: "ship to" only gives the option of "anywhere" and the "more options"
filters won't show at all.
Browser console shows that it's getting a 404 when it tries to load currencyVars.js,
causing an error when it tries to access the currency list. Maybe that's
short-circuiting the javascript that's supposed to show the tabs.
Bad coding, though. A properly built page would still work even if javascript
fails or is turned off. Someone needs to teach the BL dev team the principle
of PROGRESSIVE ENHANCEMENT.
But I voted YES anyway, just in case this was a deliberate change.
|
Oh, it looks like categoryVars.js is also 404'ing. That's not causing
any errors to appear on the console, but judging from the filename, it's
an even better candidate for breaking something.
