I now realised there are more options on the profile page.
Got the options for the notifications in Modify Profile -> Notifications -> General.
Completely missed this. Shouldn't this also be on the profile menu on the top?

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 know. I'd rather send HTML, too, but I've noticed that sending in HTML tends to have Google flag my e-mails as Notifications
The mail domain lestrades.com should be configured, too. SPF and DKIM records must be added, and a few administration e-mails too (noreply@ as the sender of the notifications and to collect bounces -instead of bouncing them back again-, and an admin e-mail if you want). Otherwise, the server could end in a few spam lists... Let me know if you want me to set up those.

I'm sorry for the slight OT, but is there any ETA for the export feature for wishlist and tradables?
Export feature? I have no plans for this in the near future. I'm sure @theemu- will write a user script if he feels like it, though ;)
Yes, it's basically just a parser and it should be very useful (I used that a lot with barter)

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).
Should I add a 'permalink'..? Just go to your profile, and in the lower left, you'll see a Wishlist link, just use that, it's your permalink. (Same for all list types.)
Was unable to find it, however I noticed that my profile is accessible via https://lestrades.com/@silyus so I figured out my links by guessing:
https://lestrades.com/@silyus/wishlist
https://lestrades.com/@silyus/tradables

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

(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..."

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.

Still a one-time import?

Ahhhhhh....
Why does everybody keep asking for me to sync lists with a website that was dead a week ago... -_-
Each minute I spend answering these requests is a minute not spent on getting to feature parity with it.

Because it is an important feature, at least at the moment.
Barter has a far easier system to manage tradables / wishlist / blacklist. I recognize thats something you may be working on, but at the moment that is a fact.

I believe Lestrades is probably the more futureproof site. But at the moment, barter is bigger.
And i won't manage my lists on both sides. I added ~2000 titles to my blacklist recently. I sure as hell won't do that again here.

Same for managing tradables. Im active at multiple platforms (Barter, lestrades, reddit, Steamtrades etc).
If i trade 10 games away at another site, i need to do 10 game searches here to update my list. I wont do that. That's bad user experience.
Maybe it does not need a barter sync, but mass adding / deleting titles, list matching etc is an absolute MUST to keep the userbase here active.

Again, i absolutely mean no disrespect. I'm pretty active here because i recognize and honor the hard work you do.
But the lack of easy ways to update my lists keeps me from using this site efficiently.

Seeing you working with search engine i came here to thank you for good work and write about one issue i found.

I prefer to copy-paste game names to search field rather than typing it. And if game name includes (') apostrophe, search not showing anything.  Grand Pigeon's Duty for example. I must delete parts of game name to get it to work.

I'll look into it. Game is properly set in the database, must be an anti-injection measure, but it should at least have sanitized it...

BTW, has anyone ever looked into the state of their wishlist after they completed trades..?
My issue is that none of my trades removed things from my wishlist after hitting Completed. I triple-checked my code and it *should* work. I've even done tests on a secondary table and it works there... But I don't get a lot of offers or accepts, so it's hard to test on a real-life trading situation I guess. (Plus, last time I traded, I forgot to check that. >_<)

Pika! Pika!

The items on the Wishlist currently are never removed after completing a trade. Only a copy of the traded item is removed from Tradables.

Yeah that's so weird.
I really need to fix that. :-/

Send me your fair offers so I can test while trading :niark:

NEW: Game pages now show who owns the game, and sorts users by playtime. So now you can find fellow fans of your favorite games! :)
