Would it be possible to get an RSS feed linked to our notfications? The thing I love the most about barter, is being able to connect it's rss feeds via a skype bot, so I get an instant notification of an offer.

Minor suggestion: I noticed when searching for a game and then shift+click on the dropdown list, opens a new tab with the game page, but also causes the current one to change to the game page. Would it be possible to leave the current tab as it is?
Yeah, now that I've rewritten the auto-suggest code, that's actually something I can do... Lemme try.
(One hour later.) Okay, done.
(ONE HOUR LATER???)

I'm getting too old for this... I got myself mixed up with the execution order for mouseup and blur events.
Anyway, the script now checks for which mouse button is used to trigger. If middle button, then it does nothing.
I don't know about Shift+Click, honestly... I only use the middle button to open links in new tabs.

What about a way to add tags for other traders?
Nope, no tags, but eventually you'll be able to create user lists. The feature is there, I just want to refactor it. It's very powerful, but its UI sucks balls, if I may say.

I don't know about anyone else, but I would really like a button to get back to the menus at the top of the page,
Just click the Lestrade's logo... Haven't got better for now. Well, there's always the 'Go up' link at the bottom of each forum page. But I've never used those, personally. I just press the Home key to go back to the beginning, or I just use the scrollbar... I know, so old-fashioned.

- Add a system that asks (to avoid automated mistakes) the user to add a game to his library when he already have some edition that includes the base game.
I'm not going to look into parent/child relationships when handling lists for now. This is something that Barter does, and I have a feeling it uses a lot of processing time for nothing (e.g. joining on its own table again just to retrieve item parents.) I find it confusing, too... :-/
You'll notice that LT indicates in lists if a game is a DLC or not. Should be enough to avoid mixups..?

- Eventually support other stores. But looking how the site is going, I suppose that is alrealdy on the list.
Other stores what? It supports everything Barter supported. I just need to add my own system to add new games from outside Steam. ;)

Please add tags and quantity to tradeable
I'll do that; technically quantity is part of the tag UI so I'll have them up at the same time. Going to be busy next week though (nanny's on vacation so I'm taking care of my adorable kid all day[1]), so it was a very frantic week for me with attempts to work everything into the code... Tags were put aside I'm afraid, I'm still unhappy with any UI mockups I had. (And no, I don't like Barter's UI for tagging.)
You can do a fake quantity change on tradables by using Bulk Add to add more copies of your game. It's not something I'd recommend, though. Don't worry, I'll... deal with that. As soon as I can.
 1. And yes, I pay a nanny to take care of my child while I'm busy working on this site. Yes I'll never see that money back. No I'm not crying right now. Please someone buy me Nier Automata or Thimbleweed Park or something so I don't feel so bad. No I'm not grinning. Can you go now?

So the admin is opened to suggestions from some but not others. Me cannot believe it :lol:
Pretty simple, though? I'm opened to suggestions from people who didn't insult me at any point?
You should be lucky. I know people who are only open to suggestions from people who actually pay them for the job. Isn't the modern way of doing it better?

- Add custom URLs for a quick match with users ("à la" Steam Trade Matcher).
Sorry, dunno what you mean.
If you mean "Match with me using this URL", which I call "Our Matches", this was implemented on day one... I think?
Quote
I naturally thought of something like http://lestrades.com/@Usermame/matches but that wouldn't work.
It's not linked on profiles because it's of lesser interest, but for the record you can do that for anyone, too. It just shows you THEIR matches with everyone... ^^
Quote
I figured from checking Nao's profile that the "quick match URL" for Lestrades would be something like https://lestrades.com/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.
Hmm? No, you can find that link in "Our Matches". As I said-- on every profile but yours. ;)

I noticed the Lestrades logo on the top right is only clickable on half of the logo.
I often try to use it to return to the main page, maybe increase the clickable area.
That logo is a trick. It's clickable everywhere for me. If it's not for you, then you should tell me your browser, resolution, device...

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).
I understand, yeah. It was just a quick addition...
I'm actually holding on 'advertising' the PM system because I'd like to turn it into a chat system, or at the very least, make entering PM titles optional... I just hate that. I mean, I'm not always writing a novel... Why would I need to name them... Just like sending a Steam gift is annoying, I have to enter my name, and the recipient's name... Which I then have to look up... :P

So, the header is quite empty, the middle part at least. You could put the "Matches Wishlist etc.." line there and save some precious space! And those options will still be selectable when you scroll down cause they're will be in the header.
It's not possible. I design as well as I can with mobile in mind (I do most of my browsing from my smartphone). Notification numbers and the search box are all I can afford on mobile... Moving the page links there wouldn't look great I think, and would be impossible on mobile.
I can try to use more of that space, but it's just unlikely.

Also maybe if the "Notifications" and "Messages" text would be better if it gets replaced by icons?
I first worked on notifications years ago-- and never found a proper icon for those. I guess I got used to the text... No?

Would it be possible to get an RSS feed linked to our notfications?
Technically the notification popup's contents are not publicly viewable, so you couldn't have an external RSS feed reader process them without a token. Which makes things complicated. I could make notifications public, but... Why should I..? It could limit my possibilities.

Just enter your e-mail address into your profile and you'll get e-mail notifications... Which are way more 'instant' than RSS feeds can provide, I'd say ;)
