 | My opinion on Trade SystemI know theres a few threads about the trade system but I thought I'd express my own opinions here. I think its had lots of hard work put into it and it looks quite good. However... 1) I have had probably 2 trades on the new system, I had loads on the old system. 2) It was easier to keep track of what was happening on the old system, and feedback was much easier. 3) It is much harder to navigate and get trades. 4) No one seems to look at the system! There are hardly any trades, and it is now impossible to get greens. 5) I personally think the old system was much better, there were more trades, easier feedback, easier to look at, and probably easier for the new people as well. Just my opinion, but I think its a shame because the trading rate is very low, well its just not happening. I understand that it might be easier to keep track of trades for the mods etc, but I find it harder. Perhaps we could have the old system, but have it into seperate parts, e.g. A section for Freeclickz / Giveaway / Boysstuff etc... |

 | Re: My opinion on Trade SystemYeah I know what you mean, the only times i've had to use it properly is when getting feedback for old trades.

| Re: My opinion on Trade SystemYeah I agree, it was much easier and more productive the other way. I posted 2 trades for 1 week on this new system. Had like 1 person look at it and say they may be able to trade (nothing came of it). It is really confusing, I still don't know how the hell it works properly. So I will give up on my trading aspirations. I think it needs to be simplified. I have been here a while and don't understand it. I feel sorry for new members as they will not even bother I don't think. But thats just my opinion. |

 | Re: My opinion on Trade Systemit is very unclear in my opinion on a lot of the trade listings whether eople are offering to go green on a certain site, need a green on a certain site, and what they are offering in return. Surely some sort of sub heading... i.e wanted/offered would make sense.

| Re: My opinion on Trade SystemAs much as we love all the negative criticism from people about the new trade system, has anyone got any actual ideas on what could be done to improve things rather than complaining, other than the few suggestions further up the page? No one has really posted with any specific questions regarding the system ie how do I do this? What does this mean etc? and unless you do we can't help! There is a support section for any questions you might have which at the moment is more or less empty! It was changed in the first place as the system updated, and people were complaining about the old system, as well as it being harder to keep an eye on scammers!

| Re: My opinion on Trade Systemi tend to look at new posts when i log on - if the trades that were new came up in the new posts section then i reckon more people would read the trade offers - thats my opinion anyway |

| Re: My opinion on Trade SystemI think the system is very good in the way its made, and I can see it has had a lot of time and effort put into it, and I don't want people to think that I am just criticising it. I just personally seem to never be able to find trades or trade with other people. I found that on the old system, people would just post with their exact requirements and offers - it doesn't seem to happen as much on the new system. I find leaving feedback a little harder too, a lot of the newer members don't seem to realise how to do it, therefore, I have to explain a lot of the time to them if I trade with them. When you reply on your own trade thread, we receive PM's from ourselves which is quite annoying also, and I find that when we get PM's (not sure if this is relevant to the trades system) it asks for a pop up in a new window, and I know we have a choice not to, but it kind of bugs me. But it is good for those who choose to open in a new window. Overall, I do think it is well put together, but personally I find it doesn't help me to find or produce trades. Hope that helped a bit more - Sorry if it didn't. |
