In the Free Form Offers section of the My Trades page, it doesn't show me who I sent the offer to. It shows me my username in my portion of the trade offer, but it doesn't show the other person involved in the request. It would be helpful to have this on there so you don't spam the same person over and over again

Yep agreed, I did notice this oversight as I was building but since the whole page sort of worked like "showing the creator", I didn't have time to tweak that particular section, it's a bad side-effect of freeform offers technically being locked Trading Posts.
I'll add it to the list It might seem a little slow now with dev but I'm just taking a break after launching, which was intense, so all these little incremental changes will start popping up soon. Plus a redesigned profile page, making it much easier to see Available/Wants at a glance as has been mentioned a few times, the giant multi-badge grid isn't very helpful.
Just to keep people informed, suggestions and such have not be forgotten. Development on the site is just going to be on hiatus for a bit, I think the current site is pretty good for the current trading season, it's pretty quite.
I'll be aiming to get a lot of the trading improvements talked about before Prime but really not much will be noticeable before that. I have a new Profile page in the works, it will have a stricter focus on showing Available/Wants, that might happen sooner.

Do trades ever automatically close out? I had to unfortunately leave negative feedback because I never got any communication from the other party. Is the trade going to be in limbo forever or what?
Ah sorry, the site has been neglected lately as I've been incredibly busy.
I was going to implement a routine that ran daily that automatically closed trades with no interaction for some time but I'm afraid that didn't get done before the wave of doom. So yes, that trade is in limbo if they don't reply, I can manually clear it for you if you PM who it was to and the pins in it.
There's still a lot of improvements to come, I'm hoping to have more time near the start of August. But I'll also see if I can do something about limbo trades prior to that.
I know people have talked about having a dialog to negotiate trades when they click accept but is there a way to send an accompanying message when you select reject on a trade offer? I like to let people know why I'm turning down a trade when I do and couldn't see a way to do so just now. Thanks
I think I've got a solution to most of these issues though and that's allowing the Messages system to open on all offers immediately, not just accepted offers, that way you can begin communicating immediately and I won't need to mess around too much with other stuff. I will add the ability to amend the offer, so you don't need to reject and build a new one.
I'll be adding a process soon, it will close stale offers with no activity in the past week. That is, it will run at the start of every week and close any dead offers from the time it last ran (1week).
I wrote an article which is up on pinnypals.com. I'd love to hear how you guys handle the subject within you groups. Give it a read and let me know . Oh, and excuse the odd bullet point formatting issue ><.
Outlook pin? Microsoft has joined the game! *grin*
We generally do the similar thing - although personally I think some of the Aus pins should be more valuable than the US pins due to having larger US member base than Aussies. I think we discussed a 2:1 ratio (2USpins:1AUS) - this is for site specific ones that aren't purchasable. Purchasable ones are obviously at cost.
Your article might become the foundation for alot of groups @frostbyte!
Decent read, with only one spelling error (bourdon=burden). I have no interest in joining a pin group, but it is nice to read about what others are doing with all this pin trading jazz.
Pins for trade!

They look like that now, they're more centred around trading and being visual. Hope it's a tad nicer than the giant text grid, though you still have to deal with that to edit your pins Haven't really thought of a better way to deal with that, suggestions welcome.
Mate, I really want to commend you for the tremendous work you're doing on the site. Well above any of my personal expectations on a community site you're making for free. Looks awesome and works smoothly with only very minor hitches. Really good job!
No probs It's a nice hobby for me, I enjoy working on it when I can as it's a break from my typical work.
@Cowpuppy If you're coming to PAX Aus, I will hold you to that
Next up on the list will be improving the trade negotiation process, no ETA but hopefully I'll have time for it soon. This may get bumped off with adding more email notifications as a big problem atm seems to be people not even being aware of activity.
Prime update is live. Thanks too @Duckie for making all the pin images, bang up job considering the low resolution source images.
I suppose I'll complain loudly about that again, just in case.....Dear PA, please provide high res images along side pin announcements so we can use them for all these various projects. Shame they'd all be in PAX mode right now.
Also made a small update to how the trade box is phrased, hopefully it is now more obvious which side of the trade is your side. Thanks to @PedroAsani for that suggestion. If it's still confusing, let me know.
Not sure if that's also an error? I know the game is called 1886 but I thought maybe the pin was alluding to something else?
They interviewed me after playing the game to record it for Sony's advertising. After five attempts and each time getting the name of the game wrong, they were ok with me just saying "The Order".
Well I had a few offers come in and I now see very clearly how limiting the options are for accepting/rejecting haha. We REALLY need to be able to negotiate at all steps don't we argh I need some spare time!
This is honestly a perfect time for pinnypals to be used. Lots of pins going up and lanyards being updated (just did mine), so instead of trying eBay, go for there first!
