Not able to see trade references in PMs

Post by getupandgo »

I don't know if this has been brought up before or not, but when you open a PM from someone, there is a set of parenthesis that is supposed to have their trader rating in it, but it doesn't. It shows up as "()" instead of "(100)" (just as an example).

I wanted to mention it because I thought it was just on my browser, but I have had two people trading with me mention it as well in the past.
Always ship with delivery confirmation, I do the same.

Rating of less than 100 (or with no known traders)? You ship first (for trades and purchases), otherwise, we can ship simultaneously.

YOU must ship your package; not your wife, friend, lover, cousin, or dog. If you are not able to ship packages yourself, then please don't work out a deal with me.

Ditto here - I always found it annoying, but easily worked around (click on their name, look up their posts, go to post, click on ref #).

But it would be nice if their ref number was right there in the PMs messages too.

Good Day,

This is something Adam has been working on - he just hasn't gotten it to work yet.

We do appreciate you guys bringing it to our attention.

Thank you,

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

Lower Rating ships/pays first.

Gerry nailed it... as always.

At one time, we didn't even have the parentheses.

Lower rating? You ship first.

Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke.
To get some humor out of life and pass it on to other folk.


I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

Want my help with a BTR or backout? All messages sent/posted should be in CHRONOLOGICAL order. Otherwise, I just won't read it.

Yes, well, when I was a kid, we walked up hills both ways to get our mini's, and we had to cast them ourselves!
:-P
