I think if we could have an option, to see how many current trades we have with each individual. We are trading with would be great. Especially during events like Survival/Pandemic to keep track out how many lots we have sent to a friend. I know this would make my life easier. Kind of like a tally board appearance, that total would change as its decreased or increased for each individual user trading with.

tbh, I would adore a whole remake of the trade center.

Make it so reserved lots are invisible to everyone but you and the person they're reserved for. If someone reserves a trade for you, you get an event notifying you and linking you to the trade.

Separate CW trades and regular trades.

Make it possible to see which trade you've already offered on, if someone has multiple trades of the same thing for you.

Make it possible to trade more than 10 items at a time/enable item stacks.

Just... so many improvements that would make the trading life nice and good.

I love all of your suggestions but these two are my favorite! Especially the first one. I always feel bad that I'm clogging up the trades feed for everyone when somebody buys stuff in bulk and I set up like 5 trades of scratchcards or whatever.

Pffff, oh yup, I know the feeling! :'D I set up a good heap of trades for my forum group yesterday and I was half-expecting someone to chew me out in my comments for clogging the trade center.

The trade center is practically antique. Recode, upgrade and streamline pls. ❤

Keith's pretty busy though. Maybe a new trading center is in the works! But I think we will have to be patient. I feel like staff pretty much agrees with our sentiment here, but there's just sooo much they have to do it feels like, I think a trading center revamp will happen someday but probably after things like the wardrobe, forum search, etc etc get more fixed...

Eeyup, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for it once they're done with the forums, forum search, forum groups, wardrobe, site font fixes and the site layout revamp. So we can prob hope to see this sometime in 2020. ;P

Me being an ass aside, I would at least like to be able to have private reserved trades and separate the CW and non-CW trades. I'm not interested in CWs at all, but I do like to poke around the recent trades every now and then for something interesting.

Haha yeah. 2020 seems like an optimistic estimate. :P

I would love to see better search criteria for trades, while we're at it... like being able to search for categories of items.

And another small thing that would be so useful, is if when you make a trade, it gave you a link you could give other people to view that trade, so instead of being like "Lot number whatever" we can actually have a clickable link, lol...

What can I say, I'm forever an optimist. ;P

Oof yes. Searching for currency, cards or beanbags would be easier with categories.

The trade link would also be useful, but maybe obsolete if the reserved trades come with an auto-notification system? idk, it's almost 3am here and my brain is melty.

Yeah there's a lot that could be done to improve trades. I really want to be able to send bulk items - 10 at a time just isn't enough to send survival flowers, power crystals, snowfairies, etc.

+1 on the item stack.

Otherwise, please allow the lot number to be visible in your offers, or even better prevent duplicate offers on the same lot.
