Nothing like the 1.0->1.5 transition, but still some considerable new features. Almost all of which are designed to make current and future trade communication that much easier and more efficient:

Quick Links

You'll now see an expandable/collapsible menu at the footer of each TM page. It lists the URL/BBCODE/HTML links to 3 or 4 of your important TM pages so you can copy/paste for your trading partners and in your threads quickly. It also provides preview links, so you can see what your (potential) partner will see. so now instead of having to create your own links to give out and post in your thread, you can simply copy your desired link and paste it. When editing a trade offer it will also show the links for that specific trade offer. So when someone asks for a link to a specific trade offer, just go to the Edit page for that offer and copy the link from your Quick Links menu.

Trade Update PM Types

Now when updating a trade you have 5 options with regards to PMing your trade partner:

  1. Don't PM
  2. Send the normal "I've Updated the Trade" PM
  3. Send the "Please Give Me an Update" PM
  4. Send the "Please Leave Me a Comment/Rating" PM
  5. Send the "Please Mark Trade Completed" PM

CHANGE Default is now "Basic Update" so you aren't forced to pick a PM option now. If you want to send a different PM type or no PM at all, you'll need to select appropriately.

Linked Trade Offers

Along the same lines as Quick Links, each Trade Offer ID from your My Trade Offers is now hyperlinked so you can easily preview what another member will see when viewing that trade offer. Also provides easy copy/paste capabilities for each trade offer.

Member Dropdowns

Almost every place a member's name is displayed in TM, it is now connected to a dropdown with all the handy profile links. Listed in: My Trades, Update Trade, Member Trade Offers Header, Member Comments Header, Member Comments Made Header, Trade Details, and in the TM Mod pages. One example of the improved navigability is instead of having to go to the person's profile to PM them, you can instead select the Send Message link from the dropdown (behaves just like the Topic View dropdown). Another handy bit is that the Offline/Online image is shown, so you can easily see if a trade partner is online at the moment (again, just like Topic View).

Offers/Comments Header Improvements

The Custom Header introduced in TM 1.5 has been improved a bit to work more like we are used to (profile sidebar next to every post). It shows the member's Primary Group image, Personal Tag image/title, Member Title, and the long narrow box that housed various profile stats (posts, member#, etc) also mimics the post header bar.

Comment Approval/Denial PM Notices

There was a bug with 1.5 that accidentally sent out New Comment PMs to members who didn't actually have a new comment. The entire Comment Approval/Denial system has been simplified, now there are only 2 possible PMs. 1) You have a new comment. 2) Your comment was denied. This should make things easier to understand, and the error should be eradicated.

And for TM Admins there is a Stats page, not available for normal members, but might be soon if I make it prettier. Also various pages have been optimized to run quicker. And a few cosmetic improvements and fixes. smile.gif

oops, forgot to single out one of the upgrades that will be noticable, I'll quote kinneylamb now that he has posted about it already:

Let me know if you experience any errors. I reworked much of the code so its possible I made a mistake in one of the many functions.

lol, had I known that particular process wasn't favorable I would've changed it earlier, but glad you like it now!

yep, I just tested it by approving 6 or 7 in a couple different intervals, and I checked the TR and the PMs sent, it seems to be working as it should, so feel free. If you want to be extra awesome you could note the TR before and after just to double check that the new function (totally rewritten from scratch) is 100% working. smile.gif

thanks for the compliments in your first post! biggrin.gif

oh yea, forgot about that one, I edited the first post and quoted you. laugh.gif

And I just realized that the Edit Trade Offer page goes over the width of the main skin (at least in FF), I believe that is at least in part a result of the larger awesome emoticons as the first emoticon page. In any case, now that I see it, I'll fix it eh. Hopefully by tomorrow.

Default is now "None" so you aren't forced to pick one now, if you don't, no PM is sent.


Personally, I would strongly prefer the default be the normal status updated PM sent. I find it easier to keep track of things when I receive a PM everytime something is updated and most newbies won't necessarily know to change it.

Of course, since you rule A4F with an iron fist, my preference means nothing, but I thought I'd state it anyway. Maybe more of the peons will agree with me and we can convince our overlord to change his mind.
