    On the categories that run across the top of our beer advocate pages there is the label of "Trading." My "trading" heading has a "1" in a red box next to it (the same box one gets over the "Alerts" category when someone has quoted their post). In any event, I clicked on it and it said I had a "pending/open" trade from another BA. It shows the BA and it says that "action is required." And that I need to either "accept" or "deny" this pending request. The only thing is, I have no idea what this trade offer is. I did have a trade I posted up in the trading forum, I am assuming this in relation to this, but I am a bit confused as to how this all goes down now. I figured someone would just BM a message. Any info would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    The pending/open trade is really only for the tracking/feedback component of trades (at least, that's what my experience has suggested). The person who wants to trade needs to reply to your trade post or send you a BM if they actually want to conduct the trade.

    Sounds like you should message the BA who made the request or deny it.
