Slow down there sparky, look straight up at the top of the page, you will see:

User Control Panel (0 New Messages) View your posts...

These are all new features of the site. CLICK on the 0 NEW MESSAGES and it will take you to your PM's.

On 3... 1, 2, 3, BREATHE... :)

My work here is done. I've been tearing through this new site for the last 4 hours. I got it figured out mostly.

P.S. MY BITCH!? I can't change my sig file or it says my little dancing girl is the wrong size and won't update. All I want to do is remove the text about the paint. I got some... I'm done.

I had PMed admins about this several times, but just wanted to bring it to their attention again.

When you click on a person to view their feedback, under
"Submitter Name and Rating"

The rating shows up, but the name is not there.

I'm on a mac, and this happens under firefox, Icab, and Safari.

The new changes look good so far... Thanks for the updates!
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.

Can you post a screen shot?
I clicked on you rating & everything looked normal.

Maybe that's just what you get for using a mac? J/K LOL

I clicked on Eric's rating and it looked fine to me too, but I am using a PC and Firefox 3. Could be your Mac.

It seems the that the censor button is turned off. Or has the censor dictionary changed?

Edit: Just noticed something, can't right click on the tabs at the top and "Open in new window/tab". That kinda sucks since I'm a multi-tasking kinda person.

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.

This happens to me as well. See the picture below. There should be a username as well as a number where the red oval is. It's been like this for a long time, so it's not related to the recent updates.
I'm running firefox on a linux system but I assumed it was a server side issue due to the MySQL warning. Are the names showing up for other people?


Edit: Ironhide, do you mean the 'Board Index", "Search", "Post reference", ... Tabs at the top? Open in new tab on them works fine for me.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
I follow the generally accepted practice that the person with the lower rating ships first.

I don't remember if I've EVER seen a username in that section (would be nice, though).

BT stopped putting the user real names in there sometime between March and May of 2005. For privacy purposes I presume.

Not too private if they're showing email addresses, though.

So far, it looks like the "rankings" are exactly the same as they used to be.

Starslayer, if you want to ignore any posts by guys you don't like (like ones who don't PM back to you), you can just add their username to your Foes list and when they post here all you will see is a very short post that says something to the effect of "if you would like to see XYZ's post click here".

So, you could effectively make a personal DNT list by placing people in your foes list and you don't have to look at what they are posting unless you really want to.

when i click view new posts it always comes up with a bunch of pages when it should only be 1 or 2.
*notes about trading with me…
I do not like drawn out deals. Id like to have a deal signed and complete within 48 hours.
I abide by the unwritten rules… lower rating ships first pays first.
I always provide delivery confirmation and expect the same.
All deals are US only.
