I was browsing through trades just a bit ago, and I was just noticing how annoying it is that I have to go and search for something on shop search if I want to see a preview of a wearable when browsing recent trades, as well as reading descriptions, etc. as hovering doesn't work.

I guess it's not terrible, just more of a mild annoyance that would be awesome if it can be fixed.

Not sure if this was ever suggested before or if I overlooked a past topic for it. Just thought it might be nice x)

Hovering would be nice! Though I think it works sometimes. :3

I wish I could search the trades by either subeta items or CWs. Sometimes I just like to browse the trades and see what's there, but I'm not at all interested in CWs. It's just CW after CW after CW. :(

ugh this. I don't have the CSC to buy CWs and there can be literally five pages straight of them and it's rather annoying.

As is the hovering. That's been suggested before and it hasn't been implemented, though. I'm not a programmer so who knows if it's just something that's hard to program in to the trade or just hasn't been touched/isn't a priority currently.

I think the hovering this was just kind of overlooked, like it was in some of the special shops, like the Recycling Shop. They'll probably fix it when they get around to it.

I dunno, having the hover previews in trades has been brought up a bunch of times, but nothing ever comes of it and I've never seen a staff member pop in to say "No worries guys, we forgot about it but it's coming!".

If there's a reason why it can't be done I'd love some clarification/closure.

I'm pretty sure it can be done. Just because they aren't constantly updating us doesn't mean it can't.

I mean, let's go back to the broken images. Easiest fix in the world. It took them weeks just to fix the little things like the BB shop, Esmeralda, and Shinwa.

Sometimes they're just slow to get on top of things.

I don't expect constant updates - maybe just one, on the 50-odd threads that trade hovers have been mentioned on. ;)

The broken image forum was left untouched by staff for the weeks everyone went on complaining. Just be patient. :)

not only that, but i don't like the way the trades function in general. everything operates within the same page, so you can't open links in a new tab and you can't go back and forward. i just think it's kind of awkward and unwieldy and outdated. the trades could certainly use an update, though i'm certain they will get one at some point in the future, as the entire site is getting revamped bit by bit.
