Beer Trading & Misc Updates: November 5, 2013

After reading some of the feedback and testing for the past day, I've been feeling a disconnect with the Beer Trading Feedback System. It realized it didn't flow, so this morning the following changes have been made to better integrate all of it and create a smoother user experience.

Beer Trading

• Added main navigation link for "Trading" and sub-navigation.
• Added link to Your Trades in sub-navigation when logged in.
• Added links to beer trading pages to member profiles.
• Added links to beer trading pages to member cards (quick view, popup overlay).
• Added links to beer trading pages to upper right member panel when logged in.
• Beer Trading Stats block now shown on beer trading related pages for all logged in members.
• Fixed column sorting for Gots FT member listings.
• "Trades" stat is now represented by number of feedback given/good feedback percentage. Example: 5/100% would mean the member has given 5 other members feedback, and they've received nothing but good feedback from others.
• Traders can now view their sent feedback.
• After sending feedback you'll be dropped into your sent feedback list.
• "Find Member" (main Trading and member beer trading page) now redirects to their beer trading page for less clicks.
• Added a confirmation prompt when starting a trade request.

We plan on doing much more with the main Trading page too.

Other

• Member card overlay now working on non-forum pages for links to a member profiles.
• Alerts for new Conversations and Alerts now display on non-forum pages.
• Moved Beer Karma and Beer Trading Stats to bottom of profile pages.
• Misc other code optimizations and bug fixes.
