Nope still not working. It appeared I could offer on visible trade offers, but after I checked on Fertility I can't offer on them either. 

 

That suggests clearing your cache might help, if it's - like - SPREADING !

Am I misremembering, or did AP eggs not used to show cracks/holes? I could've sworn they didn't use to show that while in the AP, but now I see AP eggs with cracks/holes fairly often. Anyone know when that changed? 

 

I can't honestly remember  ⬇️  ⬇️ but thinking back I'm pretty sure I saw that over a week ago for sure.

Quite a bit longer than that, I think. But I'm not sure when it changed, either.

Occasionally one would pop up that way for a good long while, years, I'm thinking.  It was always one of those weird glitches you saw every now and again, but it has seemed to be more frequent as of late.

What's the deal with the random writing "wants" on the trading page? And multiple user scrollnames that seem to string together nicely. Just everyone happening to play along, or multiscrolling, or what? Is that going to be allowed? Just a string of random cb commons with no real 'wants' ???

If you suspect multiscrolling, PM a mod?

 

(Though I think it's mostly some discord people having fun)

if you're wondering about the recent stuff on the hub, there's been folks just having fun with random references while giving away eggs/hatchies

So that would explain this kind of request? - "stop you made me drop my croissant"

That kind of thing seems like something that should be reported, wish we had that report button TJ mentioned. Just because it's not mean or harassment doesn't mean it's appropriate in the Trading Hub (and the warning above the Wants box does say 'misuse', not simply harassment type of stuff...). People really shouldn't be using the Trading Hub for jokes and games.

Yes. For now PM a mod if you see abuse of the trade hub text, and we can report it. Like TJ said user reporting will be coming soon I believe.

It appears to have cleared up now. I was able to make a trade offer a few minutes ago and just checked to see if I could access Fertility and I could.

The report feature is up for the Trade Hub.  But there is no way to report trolling offers, which seems a bit one sided.  I have been putting up CB Metals for trade for 2g silver shimmer and state so very clearly, and yet every time, people are posting any old random stuff they don't want, which means if I take it down, I have lost the use of that Magi for two days.  We should be able to report that as well.

We really can't and shouldn't. There are people with no idea what anything is "worth" and who don't even understand what a 2g shimmer IS. Seriously. There are people up there posting things like 25th gen inbred horses and asking for a CB Gold. I don't think it's trolling or malicious; I think it's just total ignorance (I mean that in the literal sense, not the way some people use it to mean unpleasant.) And in your case, you can SEE the offers are duds, so they're easy to ignore...

 

I think the only reportable OFFERS would have to be people repeatedly offering the same thing after it's been declined.

The most recent troll offer was from a long time user--they know better.  It makes more sense to report those than to try and get people in trouble for posting amusing messages on their giveaways

@49ER It doesn't seem reasonable to me to be able to report offers just because they don't suit your taste. If a member is repeatedly harassing you via a trade (fast-offering the same thing over and over for example) PM a mod.

I don't see how the software can discriminate. Just ignore them. It beats taking the trade up and down.

If there is a report feature, it should work both ways, that is all I am saying.  Otherwise, then people are going to get in trouble for doing something completely harmless.  

And just to reiterate--I am not talking about newbie offers of someone who does not know better--that I understand.  Nor am I saying I would report them, it should just be fair on all sides.  I have not seen any real abuse of the site, other than people have to bump their trades, but that is because there are no pages

If there is a report feature for offers, it should *only* be for people repeatedly offering the same thing after you decline it. That's it. That is the only *true* form of offer-abuse, at least that we can actually point to as being deliberate. Offering messies or commons on a rare trade is not abuse, it's not malicious, it's simply an offer you don't personally want. And unless you know the offerer personally you can't actually know for sure if they 'know better', just because someone has been playing for a long time doesn't mean they understand normal trading values, especially if they aren't on the forums.

Then why are we supposed to report trade postings?  Because they don't suit someone or somebody did not want to see it?

Some of any issues I could think of could resolved by having a way to communicate scroll to scroll, or even put a note on your trade offer to the person in trades.

Reporting trade postings would be if you misuse the Want feature, for example to badmouth another user or use inappropriate language (or, I assume, use it for something completely different then it's actual purpose, like random nonsense phrases). Those things are things that are done on purpose, and are not what the Trading Hub is for. Offers you simply aren't interested in, however, are not the same thing at all.

 

 edit: Notice that the report button is not on the trade itself, it is directly next to the Want text. Therefore it's about reporting the Want text, not reporting a trade you don't like.

Probably a stupid question, but... How can I delete one of my messages here on forum, I can't find the button anywhere...

When looking at the message, top right corner, "Options" => "Delete Conversation"

BUT FIRST remove the other person from it.

No, not Personal messages, I meant normal messages in threads (outdated Trade post for example)!

You can't delete but you can hide them in options.
