You may notice some changes to the Trade Center !!!
There have been some improvements -- some bugs fixed and new features added!
Have a look -- and if you run into any bugs, please report them so we can get them ironed out!
Some of these 'bugs' cannot be gotten rid of, like the back button. IF they could have don't it, they would have put it on the Forums (which mean I don't have to go around huge circles when I have clicked the wrong thing).
The events that tell you that someone has bid on your trade no longer go to your trade.
Yay thankyou for making it go to their profiles =3 One thing that would make me happy with them (wait 2) is been able to have a choice whether to search "exact" or "containing my phrase" And to be able to search for the items that were glitched before.
But thankyou so so much fo rmaking the link go to the users profile
YAY! It goes to their profile now! Thank you!! =3
Friends complaining about the new trades is only going to make the staff very mad. I've been reading these comments and many could have been worded in a nicer way. I can't see the trades or the forums in foxfire. They do work in IE7 even though it is slow. I wouldn't blame the staff one bit for being upset over reading these comments. They put everything they have into this site and when they change something they shouldn't be put down for it. Please just be patient with the staff and let them get the bugs worked out of it. I enjoyed the trades too but I'm not putting anyone down because of what has happened.
Just continue enjoying subeta, make donations to keep it up and running and have patience for everything to be worked out in time. Most sites like this one are going through major changes that many members don't like. It's the way of the future so we either stay loyal and learn to adapt or quit and walk away.
I choose to stay and stick this thing out and be support to Keith and all the staff here. I'm disabled and work many times harder than you to keep up with all the changes but I'm not giving up on this site. Remember we all have lives outside of our computers and real life comes first above everything else
.
Staff keep saying this site is for the users, so please, listen to the users, and undo the revamp. ![]()
i know i complained before.. but I feel i need to say that this new system totally sucks
its inconvenient in every aspect stabs it..twice
If the trades are staying re-vamped this way, can we at least have an 'exact' button for searching, and search results with the item we are actually searching for in them D=
eww i think you guys should just turn it back to the old way except keep how long ago the person was on. So far i have lost items,sP and i get messed up searches. I also hate that when you click on their name it taskes you to their otherr trades instead of their profile x-x
I'm nervous about even putting things into the Trades as I've heard that people have lost items.
Do the staff know the phrase 'Don't fix what is not broken'? The ONLY good thing about the trades is the how long the person has been away from Subetax.
I can get over the whole "new trade system!" thing. Even the faulty searches. But I hate the glitch I got due to the thing and I'm so paranoid about watching my sP now.
Another thing I just... hate about this system, is that when you do get the event of someone offering on it, you are brought to the main page of the trades instead of directly to view the offer by clicking the event. x:
I must say that this new system proves to be most disappointing :/ I would state the many problems it has but they're basically 2GodBeTheGlory's and everyone else's reasons. Then again, I'm not a fan of how the forums are that way either- it doesn't improve speed and takes even longer to find anything and manuver around (especially going back or refreshing the page)
I think that it needs a revamp back to the older version personally
If we must have the part where it searches for items containing our phrase, can't we have an option to search for "exact" I really want to be able to get straight to peoples profiles as well.
If those were fixed I'd live with it
Sorry, I can't find what I need in trades.... Buy things to my gallery or search prices to sell my stuff. ![]()
People keep saying its faster but its not, Because once you put an item up it doesnt show up immedietly, so you wait and wait and wait. I tested it and put up something and timed it, it took 2 minutes for the item to even SHOW up in the trades.....2GodBtheGlory I agree it would be great if they could add a Rarity beside the item
I would seriously ask the staff to reconsider this revamp. Revamps are supposed to help make things run smoother. Ok, every revamp needs a bit of adjusting, but this one just makes trading more difficult, when the old version was just perfect and easy to use.
Craxodile: It used to be that way .... you click to see a person's trades from their profile and all you see is the blasted search page and none of their trades, in spite of the original url at the top of the screen.
Face it, people who use the trades frequently - like myself - will tell you quite plainly, what has been done is more than something to just adapt to and put up with because for some reason the coding staff have declared to change things. 0_k; It's like the people coding the site lately don't even play the site. Come on guys, you used to do stellar work, what's going on? (now, I'll admit the smoothness and speed are nice and all, but not if it takes away proper functionality.)
I believe in the old addage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Upgrades = yes ... entire revamp = Pft why ....?
I liked how when you previously got an event notice that someone offered on a trade you could click on it and it would lead directly to the offer. It just goes to the main trade page with options now.
-Thank you for centering the trade descriptions! ![]()
@ topizots: I don't understand how anyone could like them. 0.o It just feels to me the trades were recoded by someone who doesn't frequently uses the trades... Since anyone who does use them a lot, would have jumped on the fact that that clicking on the username doesn't lead to their profile. If a user searches up an item, they would click on their name to see their profile, either to see their wishlist, or to comment or mail them about the item. If they searched for a specific item, nobody wants to see the other trades the person has up...
Just chiming in about the need for a direct link to a user's profile on the trade. From there one can access their other trades as well as the very important wishlist, both from one click, whereas now one has to open search, paste or type in the name, click, and click again. At least there should be a link to both the other trades and the profile or wishlist. Otherwise, when the bugs are worked out I think this system will be fine, and I bet it's easing the server load.
It does the loading please wait thing that doesn't work for me in FireFox. T_T
I like the update regarding how many time they've not been online, but I agree with everyone: the search feature does not work at all, clicking on the username should link to their profile (since we need to check their wishlist for things they like), and we cannot use the back button (similar as in the forums, which I also don't like).
Hunt for the yume (minion) and it shows you tons of lots with the yume minion costume .... bleh .. not helpful whatsoever ...
i cant find the item i want it gives me like 100 other trades that do have the item in it
I am totally at a loss as to why people hate the new trades so much. I have used it recently, completed 2 trades without issue and seriously don't know what the problem is. I personally love it!
It's not a regular firefox issue, it's what I use, though lately have preferred Opera since it doesn't refresh if you click back.
Sorry it sux honestly, when I click on the person it shows their trades, so to comment takes a while and the search is crap half of the don't evn have the item in there lol. Sorry you gotta be cruel to be kind. Other than that I luv the site rox better than Gaia
Along with repairing the trades from this current "fix", and keeping the last seen feature, it should also include an indicator for the rarity. After all, db isn't always online. ![]()
For some reason, I can't even get it to load. I just get that Loading... thing but it never goes away. Is this a Firefox issue? I thought Subeta preferred Firefox?
Oh my God! Search isn't working AT ALL anymore today! Somebody asked for 1 of my items, I can't look it up for frequency to determine a price, I only find their trades via a detour and then cannot look up their items I might want to swap, to see their rarity! PLEASE FIX BACK TO OLD VERSION and include "last seen"!
Really, The Only inprovement I see is the thing that tells us how long they've been gone (1 month) (1 week)
And you said you were going to bring back the feature where we could click on there username and it takes us to there profile. This one jjust takes us to there traddes.
Please just bring back the old trades (but leave the notification of how long they've been gone on)
Not really happy about it..only the option to see how long the person hasn't been online is nice
I agree with the majority ... the only thing this has done is nearly paralyze the already sluggish process of trading ....
.... the only thing that makes sense out of it all is the last seen in the trades .... Seriously, please bring back the old trades, they just were not broken.
agreed with Twisty.
I don't like them ![]()
I want to thank the staff for attempting to make things better, but I have to agree with the majority of people in these comments. I do not like the javascript thing, it took me forever to get used to it in the forums, its gonna take even longer in the trades, as well as I hate the fact that you cant get to a user's profile by clicking their names.
In other words, I like the old system better, but I love the new idle and gone for 30+ day warnings, saves a lot of time! And I could deal with the javascript thing, if the names lead to the profiles rather than the trades. =)
i really like that you can see if they have been gone for a while, like most people here, but yeah search isnt working
the only thing i like about the new trades is telling which people are inactive, other than that i like the old way better
I guess I will join the majority of people that don't like the trade revamp. Searching is not working, I dont like that we arent redirected to profiles
I Hate not being able to use the back button!!!! The only thing I like is that it notifies you of people that havent been around in a while, but I would no that if i could look at the profiles of the users. I really hope things go back to the old way ![]()
I do understand that the staff was trying to help, but the new trades aren't exactly the best revamp. The little warning is a good add on but the 'search' option won't work in any way. I looked up bloodred potion and ended up with Angelic Booster Pack. If an ''exact'' or ''containing words'' feature was added to the drop down box it would probably help with teh searches, especially when you don't know the full name of the item
Not going to the profile right away, not the worst addition. It could have been better, like having two links, one to their trades and the other to their profile but it's really not that bad.
As for it being all on the same page/coding like the forums. That could cause problems since some computers won't load pages like that, which takes off a huge portion of the site since the trades are the only way other then auctions to get unbuyables. Unless what they want isi n the token shop, butthe item hunt unbuyable quests usually don't have items in there.
haha wow, looks like... no one really likes the new trades. o__o;
I'm joining the ranks of people very, very unhappy about the trades. Pretty much the only neat feature is the one that tells you if people are inactive. The fact that you can't even hit back now to keep going is beyond frustrating. You also can't click on peoples' trades from their profiles to see what they have up, which is a bit frustrating - this is how I always check my friends' trades. Also, not being able to click a person's user name so you can go leave them a mail and a comment... either way, as a lot of other people said, you 'fixed' a lot of things that didn't need fixing at all.
I hope the PIN feature will be back soon. I can't imagine accidentally accepting a junk offer. ![]()
Not liking the trade revamp. I don't use it all that often but, like others, I want to get to a user's profile rather than their trades. It was working late yesterday but has stopped again. Also, searching for Princess gave me a completely different item - although it did have the word Princess in it. Also, while I'm having a moan
I really dislike the italics and the fact that the text is no longer centered. I appreciate the staff worked hard on this revamp but it's not popular, it didn't need doing and the only benefit is to be able to see when a user was last online. Please consider changing it back?
What is the point of being able to click on someone's username in the Trades, if you cannot get to their profile that way?
I'm still cannot see any benfits in having it like the forums.
I don't get it either.
the javascript thing annoys me too, it was hard enough to get used to at the forums, but much mroe importantly I did a search for Book of Magik 1 and NONE of the dozens of trades taht showed up had even one Book of Magik 1, not even another similar item.
Twilight potion search resulted in some -completely- random results...
Love the new trades, the search is a bit wonky (sometimes shows items that have nothing to do with the search), but several of the items that were search glitched now show up. Listing how long the user has been offline is a very useful feature.
Search is still not working. Still no back function, the most useful function on ANY website. Why is the search defaulted at looking up 'Users' when most people need to find a particular item, not a user through the trade search.
Why did you change it, what was wrong with the perfectly functioning Tades before hand?
Link us to their profiles, make it search for what we ask for, please don't put it on the same system as forums as it's unbearably slow, and I'll love you more than I already do. Thanks for trying, though.
However, the seller inactivity indicator is great.
I have a request and I think this is the second best place to list it...suggestions rejects my attempts. Maybe we can put in a message to the people who bid when we decline and they can get that in their notice? I feel awful rejecting offers even if the person had a reading comprehension problem :p This would be more convenient than going to their profile when rejecting an offer for a specific reason too. Just a thought.
