I don't know if this the right place for this (can you confirm, ?) but I've noticed that not all currency items have the option to add them to your currencies when you click on them. For now, I have to click on my sP to get to the vault, click on the store, and then add them that way. This is a little tedious when you have one Raffle Ticket, for example, which I should be easily add to my currencies with an item option. I shouldn't have to go the forum shop to turn in one ticket. Even something like wizard tokens, where it is easy to get a lot of them fast, have an option to add them to currencies.
So far, I've noticed that Raffle Tickets and New Year Tokens lack this option (though there is a turn in link at the currency vault). I like the links at the shops, but the items should also just have the option from the inventory.
This feels like half suggestion - half problem. They should have that option. Although, raffle tickets aren't the "official" currency of that shop anymore, since the points are automatically added.
@ Amber - Hope you don't mind the ping, but it seems like something you may have some power over.
[edit]
I think it's fine now how it is? It's really not that much effort to visit the Currency page (which they all have a "turn in currencies here" link of some sort listed) or the top of the shop you're already using to turn things in (where they're listed in the blurb at the top). I feel like it's just as many steps as going into your inventory, clicking the item, clicking the link to add to inventory, etc.
Eh, I could take it or leave it to be honest hahaha If they add it, cool. If they don't, I won't be bothered.
(this is the correct location)
I honestly wouldn't mind this being added. I think it adds consistency for currencies and makes it obvious what the item does, but I wouldn't be upset if it doesn't get added
With how rare the Raffle Tickets are, I'm pretty indifferent to how they're added; the option would be cool but I'm not bothered with how it is. New Years Tokens and such, though, I feel those don't need it - you generally obtain a bunch of them just once a year, so it just makes more sense to turn them over in bulk on the currency page.
It IS kinda weird not having the option for every currency. But if it's not necessary, then why have the option at all?
I can totally see this Suggestion in a Fix Consistency type thread that we see in Items pretty often.
Subeta has a whole buttload of currencies. Adding this to the individual item box helps new users figure out how currencies work here.
I admit, I wouldn't have noticed had I not gotten out of the free shop. The went into my inventory instead and it totally threw me off.
I don't think it's super difficult to add. I just like to manage what I can from my inventory from my inventory while I'm already dealing with everything else in there. It threw me off when I realized I couldn't added everything from my inventory to my curenencies. It's just strange that there are some currencies you can do from your inventory and others you can't. It should just be one way or the other.
Sorry to barge in here with my own sort-of-related suggestion (not really, if I truly were sorry I wouldn't post here) but here's what I was thinking yesterday: I'd love it if all currencies were automatically cashed in and then we could cash them out by buying them as items from the respective shops, perhaps even in larger packets/bags/sacks/whatever for easier selling and gifting, just like raffle tickets.
I tend to forget to cash in the currencies via the link on currency page and my inventory ends up full of them, which is my problem, yes, but since the system works fine with forum tickets, why not apply it to other currencies too ^^
I like that idea too. It would be certainly be easier to deal with.
I like the idea as a consistency issue. If some currencies can be added through inventory, they all should. I've gifted individual currencies through trees in particular, power crystals, NY tokens, etc. I've also seen these currencies in the donation bin. So there are times when you're going to get individual currencies that you might find easier to turn in through your inventory.

This would be quite handy when you have just one of a currency in your inventory so I support this.
