Hey guys, I managed to wrangle some time to make a small change, often requested.
Trades now always show both users involved so you can keep a clearer idea of what's going on and a history of who you've made offers to in the past. You can check it out in My Trades, should be pretty obvious.
The slimmer boxes now represent "pending trades", these can't show another user because one doesn't exist yet, this is for things like open trading posts, open claims etc.
In all boxes, the trade creator is always the name at the top.
That sounds confusing in text but I do think it's much clearer when you check it out! Let me know haha
I'm thinking the new Garruk pin needs to have a different name - right now there are two pins on the site named Garruk, which might cause some confusion if you are looking at the pin names in the trade interface.
What do you think? Dark Garruk? Cursed Garruk? Or maybe the first one is East Garruk and the new one is Prime Garruk?
@grgemonkey, I know how you crave high resolution pin images; the official Pinny Arcade page has been updated with the Prime pins. Nice, shiny pictures. Also, their site gives names for all the pins ("Dark Garruk" and "Garruk")

I see it lists The Order pin as 1066 just like it did on the Pin Quest PDF. I sent a tweet over to Kiko to see if that is really supposed to be the pin name and not 1886 like the game title is
There's a bug you might encounter that @Dahamburgler has found. If you have a trade in your accepted offers list and it won't let you actually use the chat, you unfortunately didn't get accepted, it's a bug for that to be in your accepted list, another user was accepted and the offer should be showing in your closed offers.
I'm working on a fix but in the mean time, I do apologise for any confusion or annoyance this causes in making you think you got a trade
You can now negotiate and modify "Freeform Offers" wooooo. When you send/receive one of these offers (offers made from the Pins or Pals tab), options will be presented to you that will guide you on how to change the offer. So go nuts, it is in your hands.
Play around with it and let me know how it goes. A similar update will come for the Trading Post but we'll trial it on Freeforms first
Edit: Also I'll add the next feature is going to be adding a boatload more email notifications, I know it's a bit ridiculous right now you never get notified of anything.
Regarding the close inactive trade button, I have a trade that I accepted back in July and have not heard a peep from the other person. Yet when I try to close the inactive trade, it says it was active 8 hours ago and I need to wait 7 days. Other than me checking the chat, there's been no action on that trade since August 4.
Sorry, all existing trades had to have their last modified set at the point I introduced the new system, as that field didn't exist before. If you don't want to wait another week, feel free to report it (PM/email).
Checking the chat doesn't trigger it, only sending a new message or changing the trade from the available actions.
Ah, it's no problem. I can wait. I figured it was something like that, but I wanted to mention it just in case it was actually a bug. Better to say something than to assume and you end up with issues down the line.
Sorry I've been inactive, I was in the process of selling/buying/moving houses and it was probably the most stressful thing I've ever done :biggrin:
I'll be a couple more days, waiting for my new Internet connection etc but then we'll be roaring to go again, hopefully with a few new features in time for PAX Aus.
Alright just rolled out a MUCH MUCH needed feature.
In your "My Trades" section, trades with new chat activity will now display a message in the top right corner reading "X new messages".
EVERYBODY REJOYCE!
I think this is probably the single most helpful addition yet, no more lost trades to people not knowing there's a chat window
Unfortunately I can't retroactively fix older messages easily, so if you want to prod a trade you think is going unnoticed, just flick over another message to activate a notification on their end. Likewise, you can now refresh the page to check for new messages.
This isn't hooked up to emails yet but that's the next step, so you won't have to actively refresh, just wait for the email but thought I'd just release this half first as it's a mega improvement as is.
Also I reordered the priority of trades, so that Freeform Trades appear right after Accepted Trades, instead of having to scroll wayyyy down.
@grgemonkey Thanks for doing everything you do! PinnyPals has helped me in acquiring so many pins that have alluded me these past couple of years. What do you think about adding some sort of buddy feature where you can add Pals to a quasi friends list? Don't know if it matters that much since sometimes you only do a trade with a person once but maybe that would be a cool feature? Think of it like a follow button because that person might have pins you want to track?

@grgemonkey, you seriously rock. I have a suggestion! Something I've been thinking about when trying to put together trades is, I'd like to know who wants a certain pin. Sort of like saying, okay, I have all these spare pins, now who can I get them to?
For example, say I have a bunch of spare DLC pins laying around - I go to the Pins page, and in addition to there being the normal "X available", there's also a link that shows "X wants." I could then click on the wants, get a list of every user who wants that pin, and strike up a trade!
Not that I can see, but maybe I'm just being dumb. On the Pins page when you click on a pin, it shows you everyone who has it marked as available. I'm looking for a list of everyone who has it marked as want.
But yeah, I was thinking that having a want list could help spur some trades during lulls in between PAXen. I keep looking at my shadow box of spare pins and thinking that they could find a better home!
That's definitely something I'd like to do. I spoke to some one after the Aus trading event about this sort of thing (name escapes me, sorry!), just generally more options with filtering down pins.
So on top of "want", you could also say like "want and prime" etc, a range of options.
I'm still thinking it over as it's a pretty big problem and I'll need to do it right or it won't get used
I'm mostly a technology idiot, but I can't login to the pinny pals site in my iphone(safari). I hit login and it just sits there. Does it work with an iPhone's default browser or am I just dumb?
Looks ok to me, possibly the request timed out or something. Maybe try to force close Safari and give it another shot.
But I will say, the site is not terribly mobile friendly Most things you will not be able to adequately use, the dialog scrolls are broken, you can't drag pins in to the offer box, chat dialog won't fit properly on screen etc
I'm not big on mobile sites, the plan was to provide native apps but free time being what it is, this didn't work out great haha. Still a future dream though! I may touch on it in small increments rather than release one massive finished app, at least that way we can do some things on mobiles.
It's all good man, you've provided an amazing service to the community for your own enjoyment and out of the kindness of your heart. I love the site, just on vacation and trying to check my trades. I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong. Thanks!
But that is me and the offer was from someone that was not me!
Yep its always done that. Was a quirk I just looked past :P

Should the IRC channel be abandoned, or at least delinked from the site? Someone drops in to ask a question every few months, but there's never anyone around to answer. New people are much more likely to get help here.
I think that people tend to not understand that there aren't going to be people in it 100% of the time. It's a regular thing in loads of IRCs tbh. It's still a good place to chat and it does get activity from time to time, but, you know, with 8 people idling in there at 2am eastern, what's the likelihood that popping in is going to get you an immediate answer to a question in ANY chat room?
@Geometric Cube This is from your chatroom question but perhaps you'll see this here, trades are as displayed, sets are shown as 4 small pins grouped together, individual pins are always displayed alone. So in your example, you'd get both full sets for the 1pin but I already tried that offer, it's not available any more, he got the kemper and just hasn't removed the offer
@adambarg I wonder the same thing but it costs nothing and is no effort to let it exist forever. I've never promoted the site without also saying "please join the forum to jump in to the community", so I hope a lot of people eventually find their way here as well if their point of entry was the site. If I need room up the top for more important tabs, Chat and Community will be first on the chopping block but at the moment, it's ok.
Hmmm it's always a tough balance between what might be helpful to a newcomer vs veteran.
I may remove it from the Pins gallery (looks a bit cluttered) but leave it in the dialog when you click on a pin, then I also have more space to add the rank next to the rating.

At the moment, they're just in the Pins gallery, I'll wait on feedback to determine where else the rating might be useful
Edit: Oh and the ratings update once an hour, so they should remain pretty much in sync with the PinMash site.
