a little more information would be helpful.

How is it not working for you? I am having no trouble personally....
2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

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.

I use the Unofficial Porkuslime Trading Guidelines - if you have way less refs.. you ship first.

Folks I am awaiting a ref from.. Zack

Haven't be receiving messages. I can see people getting them and reading them but no responces. While its possible that out of the 10 people I messaged none responded its kinda unlikely

You posted this message 2 hours after PMing me. I got it last night and responded. Did you receive my PM?
If not, can you tell up, step=by-step, what you're doing to check your messages?

[edit]
For the record, here's the PM I received:
Tir McDoul wrote:I havent had my inbox disabled have I? I dont seem to be getting any new messages depsite people seeming to have recieve my messages that specifically ask for a reply and 50+ new views to my thread.
Here's my response (with off topic parts removed):
No. Not at all (which should be evidenced by the fact that you're reading my reply :mrgreen: ). If anything is ever done as a consequence for someone's actions here, they're ALWAYS notified in advance. The one exception to that is a ban. That's not usually known until they try to log on and get the message that they've been banned and why.

Don't be shocked about getting a lot of hits to the ad, not nothing in the inbox. People who have NO interest in what you listed in your title will still open the ad, just in case you have or want stuff you didn't list. You'd be surprised how common that is.

As for the messages that asked for replies but didn't get them... Have you looked in your "Outbox?" Messages listed there haven't been opened by the recipient yet. It might be that they're yet unread. It also might be that they weren't interested in your offer. Regardless of asking for a reply, you might be surprised just how often that happens.

I hope this helps.

So, there ya go, then. It's working.
On another note, I have not received a response.

@Tir:
Any idea what was going on? Even if it was your own mistake, let us know what it was. You can help people who come along after you with the same issue.
