    It's covered in the first post I made. It's the number of unique trading partners that you've traded with.

    I had 39 gots. I selected all of them and marked them for trade. Then I went and selected one of the beers. I removed it from my gots. It's not listed in my FT beers either but the count didn't update so now it says I have 38 gots and 39 beers for trade even though there are only 38 beers listed for trade.

    Thanks for pointing this out. I'm on it now and should have it updated within the hour, after which it'll reset when you adjust your Gots FT again or hourly based on when you last logged in.

    I tested the above bug with new code by adding a beer to my Gots, tagging it as FT and then removing it from my Gots. All counts were updated. Please let me know if this occurs again.

    I tried initiating a trade with a past partner to record our feedback but I received an error saying that I initiated a trade request with this person within the last week but this was the first time using the system. I have since tried it with 3 other parties all with the same result.

    I now managed to get some to work but the first few I tried still won't. They don't show as pending either so I am not sure why I can't initiate it.

    You have 6 pending requests started by you, and 1 started with you by another BA. That's 7, which is the same number displayed as your Pending. Click your "Pending" link to view their status.

    If you try to send another request to one of these 6 BAs within the next 7 days you'll get that error.

    Understood - those were all created after I tried with other people and when I get the error line that I had already tried with that user. Figured was a bug.

    I checked the code, which is very specific, but I can't recreate your issue. I'll take another look though.

    Worked for 5 people, but didn't for 3. I pm'd the 3 to initiate and they got same error for me plus others.

    I found the bug, and I think I killed it. Please try this:
    • Request a trade with someone you were having an issue with.
      • Fail? > Let me know.
      • Success? > Try requesting another trade with the same person.
        • Fail? > It's working.
        • Success? > Let me know.
    Thanks.

    Perfect, worked. Tried with all people that initially failed - now worked. Then tried to initiate a second with same people while first was pending and all failed.

    I hear you ... but surely you can remember some of the people you traded with?

    I dig the new system so far, nice work. It would be nice to get a visible notification of some type when someone sends a trade request. If I'm missing something here, let me know, but I didn't see anything when I received a couple yesterday. Maybe it could look like when you have a new BM or alert?

    This was mentioned in the announcement as something we're looking into. An Alert would be ideal.

    So far so good, well thought out and by design the bad traders will have a very tough time. If your new with no history your shipping first. I'm not a tech guy, but I found this very easy to use so far.

    I'm in the uk
    Are international trades feasible or would shipping be counter productive
