Hey Eric

Think I found another glitch. The 7-day waiting period between posts seems to be down. I accidentally hit the New Topic button in the WHFB forum, and didn't get the "your last post.... seven days... etc..." warning, even though I already made a new post earlier today.

US Trades Only, please! International shipping is just getting too expensive.
The object of a game is to win. The point of a game is to have fun.
My trading rules:
1. Lower rating ships first, unless we agree otherwise.
2. Delivery confirmation is required on all US trades.
3. I will not mark an international package as a "gift". It's a felony, so please don't ask.

Okay. So, I still am not peeking at it today.
We did enough yesterday to make it a one-day event, but 11 hours in the 100+ degree heat is killer. I spent most of today sleeping it off. lol
...and the rest of today doing a day's worth of crap in a half a day.
I'll peek at it tomorrow, unless I'm beaten to it.

Adam's got the ITL back & running again. I haven't spoken with him, but it looks like the banner application is up or nearly up and needing repopulated with ads. Hopefully, I'll have more info on that soon.

Happy trading, all.

OK

When posting a Trade Reference the drop down field for “Their State/Country” is unpopulated.

I am sure its not high priority just thought you would like to know.

That is one of those things he has to populate semi-manually. As it's not a required field, it's pretty low down the scale, considering what all needs to be done.

Error: Mysql errors when posting a reference and leaving out the username. Should probably have this output a displayed error message of missing username or something rather than all the mysql and debugging out put.

Feature request: displaying user's rating next to their name anytime it's shown with an avatar and clickable to their references.

Used to be an error message. I'm sure Adam will get it resolved.

This is something he's working on getting back, too. Since ref's are able to be reviewed and left now, that functionality has taken on a lower rung on the ladder.

Thank you.

References ARE up. They can be researched via the "Check References" tab above, and posted via the "Post a Reference" tab. I've successfully used both myself.

As for associating them with User ID's within posts goes? No. Adam works on it in his spare time between real life concerns. So, everything it on a "TBD" schedule.

I'm seeing a number of messages still present in my PM Outbox. Is this normal or a known issue right now?

It just means the people you sent the messages to have not read them yet. Once they read them they will move out of your outbox

I get a problem, when I try to post something new and it hasn't been a week yet. It says you have to wait - then it has a ton of random numbers . Do you guys know what this is?

Your first problem is your trying to post before your week is up. the number part of it is still being worked on. you can click on View your post to see when your last post was in that forum and just do the math from there.
