RememberBrickLinkSettings

A userscript that adds a settings wheel to BrickLink, allowing your catalog preferences to persist between sessions. Promotes US-based defaults.

Features

• Persistent Preferences: Your BrickLink marketplace/catalog settings are saved between sessions!
• Quick Access: Adds a settings wheel to the navigation bar!
• US Defaults: Sets $USD and US shipping/location as defaults!

Installation

Recommended: Install Violentmonkey for the best script compatibility and performance.

Prerequisites

You need to have a userscript manager installed:

• Chrome/Brave/Edge/Opera: Violentmonkey
• Firefox: Violentmonkey (Preferred) or Greasemonkey

Steps

1. Open the raw script file: bls_2.2.js
2. Copy the script contents to the clipboard.
3. Open your userscript manager.
4. Create a new script.
5. IMPORTANT: Delete ALL default script content in the script editor.
6. Paste the contents of bls_2.2.js into the script editor.
7. Save the script (Ctrl+S).

Known Bugs

⚠️ The script may not work on Chrome-based browsers using Tampermonkey (as opposed to Violentmonkey/Greasemonkey).

Usage

1. Visit BrickLink
2. Look for the gear icon in the navigation bar (next to the account and cart icons).
3. Click the gear icon to open the preferences panel.
4. Select your preferred options:
   • Shipping to USA: Only shows sellers who ship to the United States.
   • Seller located in USA: Only shows US-based sellers.
   • Seller accepts US dollar: Only shows sellers accepting USD.
5. Click "Apply & Refresh" to save settings and reload the page. Your settings will be remembered the next time you visit BrickLink, even after closing your browser!

Troubleshooting

"The gear icon doesn't appear!"

• Make sure the script is enabled in your userscript manager.
• Try refreshing the page.
• Check if another extension might be conflicting.
• Ensure you are using Violentmonkey as your userscript manager (as opposed to Greasemonkey, Tampermonkey, or other alternatives).

"My settings don't persist!"

• Ensure your browser allows localStorage for BrickLink.
• Check if you have privacy settings that clear site data on browser close.

"I see layout issues!"

• Uh oh ... please open an issue with details about your browser and device. Thanks!
