Suggestions for the New Trade System

[Mcnarb]

Hi,
I've been using the new trade system alot the past week and i think its a great idea but needs some tweaking.

The problem that gets me is you can't see our signatures which is one of the main things for me that makes trading easier, seeing what sites offers users have done that you want to trade with. If it showed it below the trade post if would mean you don't have to click on their profile to see it, just makes it quicker and easier.
The other thing is when i post a comment in my own trade thread i get a pm from myself which i don't really see the point of.
Also be cool to be able to edit details of your trade if offers or details change etc.

Anyway, i hope my suggestions are good and that i don't sound ungrateful cos i'm very grateful to exceem, i wouldn't have got anywhere on these sites if it wasn't for this cool forum.
cheers

thanks for the feedback

- sigs will appear sometime tommorrow on the trades
- thought i fixed the pm to trade advert owner issue (unless i forgot to upload the new php file!)
- not that sure about editing etc since it could lead to abbuse (i.e someone changes what was in the trade after they get a green)

The other thing I find confusing about it is that it shows so many ads as "closed" when they are not! I think it's because you have to pick a finite amount of time and the default is a week. Therefore, anything that's been there for over a week shows as closed. I'I think that either they should only be closed manually or the default time should be longer.

Yer ive just been setting mine to the longest time available (2 months) whats the point in having such a small default time limit?

And then the sections are full up of "closed" threads .. seems like its taking up room that isnt necessary.

[Jon]

a option to view (or not) closed threads, and removal of the time limit will happen soon

Awesome!
I kind of thought editing might be a bad idea.
Chuffed people liked my suggestions.
