(Edited your post to remove the domain... Obviously don't want e-mail harvesters to add that to their list of spammable e-mails!!)
Yeah, I don't know, I never really bothered about what e-mails sent to that address would do. It's customary to just ignore them anyway, or bounce them back... I don't know.
As for spam lists, obviously I'll do all it takes not to end up in those. ;)
Except it's just so complicated-- if I add an Unsubscribe link to e-mails, they'll be sorted as Promotion items by Gmail, making them less visible (unless you manually move one mail to your main inbox, and then set it up to always do that. But... Who knows their e-mail software well enough?)
I read on a website that you can add that link as a 'signature' to your e-mail, which sounds strange to me. I figured Gmail would immediately see an Unsubscribe link as what it is, rather than say "okay, it's after the -- signature mark, so who cares if it says buy vi@agr@ for $0.01 right now and get a free pen1s enl@arger? It's just a signature..."Quote from Silyus on April 3rd, 2017, 09:19 PM UPDATE: Added permalinks on all list pages.
UPDATE: Your own profile now shows your lists at the same place as other profiles do. It's mostly so as not to disrupt your experience, I'm not sure that box is necessary, especially after adding permalinks.
FIX: Users who have a Barter account and created it after March 23 should now be able to import their lists from Barter. If you can't see the button in your list pages, log out then log in again, should fix itself.

Seems to work, but please add a permalink notice on every list so it's more visible.

The Illustrious Idea / Re: Languages
« on April 3rd, 2017, 08:22 PM »
I think the language files are several hundred kilobytes total. I only have those to offer, plus Turkish I think, but we didn't have Turkish members at the time I removed multilingual support anyway.
https://github.com/Wedge/languages
Contributions welcome, if only for the index.english.php file, which is short and has 90% of the strings you'll see on a regular visit. But again, this is forum-only, and thus rather useless for now. Language files are mostly for forums where that language is used primarily.

Is this still needed, now that email notifications are working proper..?

The Noble Talk / Re: Barter Sync. not working
« on April 3rd, 2017, 08:18 PM »
I forgot to mention that I removed all language options recently. You're right, it was confusing anyway-- everything in forum pages was translated, and nothing in trading pages was, except for some things like date handling. Mixing up languages isn't very professional, I was planning to translate the trading site at the same time but in the end it's not really a priority. English, after all, is a must for traders. At least for now. ^^
I need to remember adding profile settings to allow you to specify which languages you can trade in, though!

The Trader's Clerk / Re: Wow, what a bargain!
« on April 3rd, 2017, 08:14 PM »Unless you had them in your wishlist, here at Lestrade's is not possible to send (not)wishlisted games, as far as I know.Quote from gamecreature on March 30th, 2017, 11:06 PM Not to mention the fact that I have all of those games. Most likely from the same sources.

The Trader's Clerk / Re: Bedtime trading stories
« on April 3rd, 2017, 08:12 PM »
Yeah, and more realistically, many new traders simply don't understand those ratio numbers. Which is why they usually get flooded with bad offers, and why I sometimes spent hours teaching the basics to people who were too eager to trade their rare games for multiple bundled games. (One of them even because a very demanding trader later on. :lol:)
Hope you did the right thing, gave him Aozora in addition to the HOG, and explained what ratio meant. ;)

The Fatal Problem / Re: Sync Buttons
« on April 3rd, 2017, 08:08 PM »hello,
how can i update my tradeables manually i cant see EDIT button or something like that. at this time if i want to change or add something i delete all my tradeables one by one and synch them again with barter, that's pure evil!
The question would then be, why do it here and not over there?
I understand the trading system here is quite dry and unfinished, but it's not going to last. I'm obviously still working on it. ;) The search box overhaul should be proof of that.

I'm hoping to have a mass-addition text area by tomorrow. I needed to get things done with the search engine first.

The profile area is taken straight from my forum platform Wedge, which inherited the SMF platform. Forum users are at easy navigating these pages, but I'm aware that for those coming from barter, these features are overwhelming.
It's not a priority but I'll eventually out everything related to trading together into the main page.

I should add more in the future but probably not before I actually start the official premium program. ;)

FIX: Search engine should now work much better for very common or very short names. 'io' will show up first, 'D: The Game' will show up first as soon as you type 'd: the g', for instance. Common names are now ranked by length, and you no longer need to use the Backspace trick to make them show up.
Also fixed CoI to be un-decommissioned, this kind of thing needs to be done manually. Thankfully, it doesn't happen often. ;)

The Noble Talk / Re: What's up at Lestrade's?
« on April 3rd, 2017, 04:35 PM »Hmmm, I didn't have a default e-mail adress entered so when I tried to disable the checkbox for other users to send me e-mails I could not because the form wanted an e-mail address. So I ended up filling in a bogus e-mail address.
Default e-mail address? There's none, it's just empty to begin with... (?)
Okay, I added a quick hack to my code.
Now if you want to disable offer notifications, enter a dummy name (like your nickname), as long as it contains "disable" (so in your case, "quantum-disable" or "disable.quantum"), and as the domain name, use lestrades.com... LT will understand that you don't want to be bothered :P
Please change it to that, so the server doesn't waste time thanks ;)
@Nao: I'm also posting this as this no doubt wasn't your intended solution, so might be useful for you as input to think of something better heh (I'd just allow users to not receive e-mails even for offers honestly, their responsibility and such).
I'm sorry for the slight OT, but is there any ETA for the export feature for wishlist and tradables?
Also I can't find a way to point to my tradables list with an unique url (useful to directly show my list to random internet guys and also indirectly promote letstrade).
Search drop down width issue seems to be fixed, and even "D: The Game" shows up now.
Thanks for the speedy fixes!
btw, Castle of Illusion went back up on the Steam store a few days ago, still says Decommissioned here.
I talked last week with someone who wanted it in exchange for a $2.5 game, I nearly did the trade. As you can see, even while it was decommissioned, I didn't plan to make a huge profit off it (from $2!), so it doesn't matter to me. But still, I don't think the game is worth all that mess...

Thank you guys :)
I gave you access to the premium filters. Ask in PM if you need any help with optimizing your matches!
I added Putt-Putt Joins the Circus to my wishlist just to complete my collection (only one I'm missing now :P).
If you guys wanna partner to buy me a copy of a game in my top 10 wishlist, I can also give you your share's worth of premium access + extra access from now on, of course. ;)
