Well, whenever I type in an item to Search, I only get trades with that item in it...I'm not getting random trade lots like others are complaining of. That's weird...
Astrile, thats because while you're in the Trades, you're really only on one page the entire time, and even if you click around to different trade areas, it's still on that one old page. So the info doesn't get updated. Sorry if that made no sense. xD;
i don't like that we don't get the events when on the trade pages
hmm...i dont really like the 'click on the name' thing.
I completely agree with JaneDoe the only addition added that is actually a good thing...is the user status..other than that..I dread going there.
I hope this gets fixed so all Firefox users can use trades. I don't think this new system had many fans when it was introduced to forums - why extend it to something vital as trades? (especially when some firefox users can't load pages in it at all).
As for new content - I agree that italics should be removed. Also is seeing "Description: No description available." really necessary? So much italics eyes hurt
arg! this new version is frustrating with not being able to use the back button, and how when you search for something, it doesn't only give you the EXACT item- it comes up with random other items with the name. I don't want random items- i want the item i searched for! just bring the old system back! please!
I suppose it seemed like a good idea at the time. Poor admins. Who'd have thought everyone would hate it, huh?
I like the notification of a user's status. That a big win. Also removing the items from trades after 30 days is a win too.
I don't see what the big deal is about the 'back button'. I have NEVER once been allowed to use it (always taken to blank pages, or post data pages, etc). Still not being able to use it is no loss for me. I adapted.
Not being able to refresh will be a pain in the butt, that's for sure, but there are other ways to see what's new that popped up (like hitting the 'Recent Lots' link again. Just like hitting refresh, but it's a link! oooh 
)
I'm going to miss how many trades I can see on one page. I liked looking at 100 at once. But my friend missed the old way, so she's happy it's back. So then I can deal with it too.
Um... ok I'm now starting to get a little annoyed by it. When I click on the trade link from someones profile it doesn't take me to their trades. It takes me to the trade search. Is this a bug? Also, I don't like how you have to wait so long for your trades to update because of caching. It was instantaneous before. 
"Only keep the message saying when a user was offline for xx days. The rest of the 'update' just repels me from the trades in general."
the search isn't working probily when you loke for some thing i tried loking for Dark Mage Amulet and the trades that shod up didn't have it in them.
Everyone whos complaining about the username thing, it does state that they're being fixed... 
Oh no o.O Now I'll have to cry. I want to be brought to the profile and not to other trades of the user if I click on the name. This is just horrible, horrible, horrible. I have to agree with anyone else, please bring back the old system! I could easily do without the new features, but not without the old ones.
D8 Waaiiit... Now when you click the username it sends you to their trades? Nonono. Out of everyone I know, people only click the usernames to get to the PROFILE so we can get to their WISHLIST, because a lot of people want wishlist items for their trades. We don't want to see what else they have to trade. e___e
No refreshing or going back? It's becoming like the forums. :'C The only good thing about the new trades is what everyone else stated before, the user notification and deletion of trades after a month. Other than those features, I really dislike the trades now.
No. That's all I have to say to this change. Just a huge no. I appreciate the work, but this update was a rather bad idea... The only good thing I can state about it is the addition of the message where you are told if the user was not online for the last few days.
When trading, I like to be able to access a user lookup directly instead of seeing that person's trades. I'm interested in one item, I want to message them about one item. I don't want to buy all of their lots. I don't want to search for the user in order to mail them.
The addition of the italics in the 'description' text is a bad idea. Why not keep the 'Description:' bit bolded out and keep the actual description of the trade lot in a normal non-bolded non-italic font? It's not that large of a problem, surely.
The main reason why I dislike visiting the forums too much is that extremely irritating issue with the 'back' and 'refresh' buttons. It's not really pleasing to know that this has shown up in the trades, too. It's not helping. If I click the 'back' button, I expect to be taken back a page. Not to be taken back to the first page I've clicked before going to the actual trades 'index' page.
I'm not the only one unhappy about this. So, taking note of the fact of how many users complain, it might be a good idea to revert back to the old version of the trades. Only keep the message saying when a user was offline for xx days. The rest of the 'update' just repels me from the trades in general.
And also- I.. well... hate being brought back to the main page of the trade center while trying to refresh and see the new recent lots. x: It's a pain in the donkey's behind.
I agree with everyone else.. I liked being able to click the username and go to the profile. I couldn't care less about the other trades. :/
pleeeeeeease bring the old trades back.
I think it's retarded that when you click on the username it shows all their trades... it should go to their profile.
How about putting the newest trades on top so we don't ahve to go through all those "user hasn't been online for more than 30 days"? And the italics are annoying, too.
Heres a slight suggestion, ya dont have to listen to me, but I think it would make the trades great: If (jus like you have this user hasn't been seen in 3 days, 30 days, all that jazz), if the person is online, then it would say something like This user is online right now! Or something like that 
Would make it alot easier than searching every single trade, just to find a person who's online
I like the old one better
I would prefer it that when I click on the user name, it goes to the lookup (this way it's easier to check if they're on or offline)...At the moment, if you click on the name, it shows you all that that person's trades.
And while you're making all of these 'improvements' it would also be nice if you fixed the glitch where not all peoples items are showing up when they're searched for. When I did a search some of my items still aren't showing up. It makes it tough to trade when people can't even see I'm selling certain items.
I don't like that when I search for a specific item a ton of other completely unrelated trades show up. I searched for the item Clawsion Toy Wand and 100 lots showed up, only 16 of them actually had the item I searched for. Why should I have to sift through all that junk when I searched for a specific item?
I despise the italics. I don't know if it's just me, but it's too hard to read large chunks of italics. The search feature would be nice...if it worked properly. The notification and deletion of old trades is nice, but it would have been so much better if they had just added those features to the old trades, instead of just updating the whole thing. Also, I miss the refresh and back buttons. Like most people, I relied heavily on those, especially to browse newest trades. I'm also wondering what the index link is for. It doesn't seem to really do anything.
Mhn. thanks. I just find it horrible to trade. I had a reserved lot, and it took me ages to find it- I couldn't search for my Wicked Aura Flame in the trades, nor could I see it when clicking on the user's trades from her profile. And she said that she almost rejected my offer, since she got no notification that it was me who offered and thought it might be someone else.
I really appreciate the new update in the trading center showing how long the person has been offline. A real time-saver. Thank you.
I totally agree with Earthen's comment. Aside from the notification and deletion of old trades nothing else in the new system is in any way an improvement over the old system. I would love to see the old trade center return, though I doubt that will happen at this point.
In general I like the new trading system. Is it true that trades are cleared after 30 days? If that is true, then that is a HUGE improvement, but why oh why wait a month? Why not two weeks? I can't see where it would hurt buyers or sellers to clear trades after 2 weeks of inactivity.
I would like it if mine showed up at all.... but i do think the newest ones should come up first but mine hardly ever even shows up.... makes it hard to trade!
Sweet: People are saying that they don't go back in there, they just get deleted. -shrug- o.o
Love the Trades revamp very much!! I would love if most recent trades came up first in the list, and idle ones were at the bottom. I miss the back button too, both in Trades and Forums.
-nods- I'd like to see the old trading system reinstated. I rather.... pardon this, but I hate what's been done to trades. There's just.... so much that the old system was better at than this. I'd keep the notifications about how long the user has been away for and the deletion of old trades- that is the only improvement over the old- and set the rest back to the old system That is the only thing salvageable about this new system.

; border: 1px solid ; font-family: georgia; font-size: 10;"> But the items that are taken out of trades, should be placed back into their items.o_O If they're not placed in their inventory, where do the deleted trades go?
Hm, well user links work now, but they just forward you to other trades by the same user, was that intentional? :-/ I kind of liked being able to go to the user's page right away to comment or sMail.
Ah well. (uses C & P and Search instead)
I also agree with clearing older trades. Honestly, if I was that person, when I got back on and if there was an offer for what I was asking for I'd just accept it right away. But the thing is, those items have inflated, so the user is getting ripped off because they didn't know. BUT if the trade was canceled, I'd look up the price and then know it went up, so no ripping off would take place. xD; Does that make sense?
Can someone delete my bug report. I was reading from top down instead of bottom to top. Thanks!
I don't like the switch to the forum-esque system, quite a hassle. If I type in an item name, chances are I want to see that exact item, I should not have to keep hitting search ten times because of similarly named items coming up when I search. If you want to have a feature like that, make it optional to search for lots including phrase or identical to phrase. The 30-day notification system is an improvement, but cancelling the trade after a certain period of time - I would actually suggest two weeks - would be a better idea IMO. The person can always put the item back into trades if they are active. If they are not active, there is no point in having their item cluttering up the trades.
I LOVE the idea of deleting old trades!!!!
and, call me crazy but...
I LOVE the new trades! Just did one problem free...?
Oh wait, nevermind. There was just a delay, as uh... is stated on the main page...oopsie xP I retract my previous statement!
No results: "teren (Teren Plushie)" in "item search"
How do I search for a Teren? I want to check teh price ;_;
Haha, I can't cancel my trades xD;;
...I think I won't be using the trades anymore... Kinda like I don't use the forums anymore... 
;
One annoying thing I've noticed is the inability to highlight an item name and copy it to your clipboard. It's like this when the page first loads, at least in Firefox 2.0.0.4. I haven't tried any other browsers yet.
There are some hoops I can jump through to finally get the copy function active, but it is a bit of a pain to do this as I often see items in trades other than the item for which I was searching and then I'll want to search for them. It was a lot easier when i could just highlight and copy and paste.
Please bring back the old system. I don't like this one, not at all.
I don't like that new system that is used for the forum as well. As Orchipea said, it is annoying to not be able to use the back button. And I looked at the profiles anyways, so yeah, I'll miss the old system. But if it works better for others...then it's ok I guess.
Oh man, i hate it. My mouse tends to go funky, so i have to the arrow keys and page up/down for smooth browsing.... and not being able to use Back is awful for a regular trader. And the italics are hard to read. I don't like it, not at all.
Yeah, I think the fact that it is one window is what she's complaining about.
I wish it said what we get after, it just says "you have accepted the offer" now.
