What was the problem? Again, I haven't touched anything on the server so I don't understand why it suddenly stopped working.

Just a quick update.

The auto-renewal script is working but Let’s Encrypt migrated from ACME v1 to v2 and dropped all support to v1. Unfortunately I can't upgrade certbot on the server to use the new ACME v2 protocol.

I'm going to try to use another client to renew the certificate but the best approach would be to update the whole server to the latest Debian release (11). I was waiting for a new release before upgrading. However that's another issue because reinstalling the server means quite a lot of work to do (and probably some downtime).



Fixed.

I haven't touched anything on the server so if something suddenly stopped working, it's not because an issue with it.It seems that the certificate is renewed correctly but the apache daemon is not restarted when the certificate is renewed. However, there's a logrotate task every night that should restart the apache process when rotating the logs. Manually restarting apache does the trick, waiting for the next logrotate should also work but I haven't checked it.

I would really like to upgrade the server to the latest Debian release but you should expect some downtime with it. I'm also not sure it it's worth waiting for the next Debian release (I don't really know if it's going to be released, according to the Debian version history it should be sometime in 2021).

New suggestion! I just saw that when you accept a trade there's now a handful bit of information shown :cool: However, I think it would be more useful if it contained direct links to the PM editor and the Steam profile of the other user:You spare the users one step (going to the other user's profile) and it's easier to add them on Steam too (click on the link, add as friend).

:edit: Removed example URLs. -- Nao

New suggestion, though it might be already there and I just haven't found it:

- Add custom URLs for a quick match with users ("à la" Steam Trade Matcher).

Yesterday I was editing my Steam profile in order to add links to the main sites I use for trading: Lestrades, Barter and STM. I thought it would be nice to add a direct link to my matches on Lestrades (sort of what STM does with its custom URL). I naturally thought of something like /@Usermame/matches but that wouldn't work. I figured from checking Nao's profile that the "quick match URL" for Lestrades would be something like /matches/?u=1 , replacing the "1" with your user id here. The problem was that I couldn't easily find that number at first until I checked the "Members > View the memberlist" option, there was my user id.

As I said, maybe the URL rewrite is already there and I missed it, or it's something that can be easily done, but having a quick match URL like "/@YOURUSERNAME/matches" would be more suitable to advertise Lestrades on our profiles. Disclaimer: I'm not really sure what would happen if an unregistered/not logged in user access the matches page directly right now, though, so use the /matches/?u=blahblah at your own discretion until Nao says something :P

:edit: Removed all example links-- don't like the idea of Google considering them proper links :P -- Nao

That's exactly why I did that specific test :P Maybe domestic users and dedicated servers have different routes. Does it work now?

Regarding wishlists, I will try to remember to check if a game is removed from the wishlist once you complete a trade for it but I guess it isn't (wasn't?) working because I still have "Adventure Time: The Secret Of The Nameless Kingdom" and "The Detail Episode 2 - From The Ashes" on my wishlist despite having traded them with you. I haven't added them to my library yet, so it would only affect removing the games when completing a trade. At least not when they're found in your Steam library, or removed from your Steam wishlist, which is not done right now if I understood you correctly:So the only way to remove a item you own from the wishlist will be by completing a trade for it or manually removing it from the wishlist? :hmm: Those are a couple of things I don't like right now:

1. Tradable is removed when completing a trade. I mean, quantity is diminished by one, but since you can't edit the tradables right now, you can't modify the quantities. I usually don't keep track of the number of keys I own for a game, so I'd rather have the option to remove items at the completion of a trade (like Barter does) instead. As we discussed, this can be easily fixed/cheated by setting all your tradables to x99, for example (when quantities will be modifiable). However, I can see how this would work in the long term if a system to store your own Steam keys on Lestrades is added, since adding your keys here would let you know how many copies you have for it. But as I said, that's something I would expect in the long run...

2. Adding a game to your Steam library won't automatically remove it from your wishlist. I'd rather have it removed (unless it's tagged as "+extra"), otherwise you have to remember to remove games you buy/activate on Steam (not from a trade) yourself. The idea of a warning is not bad, but it's a bit redundant when the logical thing to do is to remove a game from the wishlist if the system finds out you own it (again, unless the game is tagged as "+extra").Weeee!!! Thanks!! :yahoo:

Works for me from home (Spain) and from two different servers hosted in France (OVH and Online). If you're doing many requests to ITAD you might want to use an API key or if you have contact with the ITAD owner, you could ask him if they would allow your IP (or the IP from the server hosting Lestrades) to be a little more aggressive than a regular user who would just browse their site.

Regarding the wishlist, should we manage it manually for now then (game page -> remove from wishlist)? Or would syncing the library (removing new items owned from the wishlist -if they are not tagged as 'extra'-) work?

I also agree that it's a bit inconvenient for "experienced" traders, but it's a way to ensure things (especially when accepting a trade, or marking it as complete). The best way would be to make it a user option as you suggested.

It's funny because...I was thinking of you when I wrote my post because adding (or removing) that extra step could be done via userscript (it would be better to have it implemented directly on the site, though).

This came to mind because (as I explained) I almost inadvertently declined an offer earlier today, but I ended thinking of how new users (or people who are new to the trading world) could benefit from a bit of guiding in the process. Some examples:

- Confirming that you will send the selected games when accepting a trade
- Warning the user that by marking the trade as "complete" he is confirming he has received the game, and encouraging users not to complete a trade unless they did receive the game
- etc.

Again, not a priority but something that would be nice in the long term to make the site as (new)user-friendly as posible.

EDIT:I also like the idea but:

1. It should still be a user option
2. It's not very informative. I mean, look how Milouze was puzzled by the lack of a "Cancel" button when editing an offer, feeling he just reached an impasse. Now add a button with a countdown timer like you have to defuse a bomb... If I were a newbie, that would scare me the first time I see it ("What? What did I do? Do I have to wait? Is something bad going to happen when it reaches zero?") :lol:
