News Feedback Improvements

Adam · 10-28-2009, 06:36 PM

As per recent user suggestions, I've now implemented a few handy changes to both the Marketplace and the Feedback System to make things easier to use.

1. Reciprocal Feedback link now directly in PM
When you receive a feedback rating from any forum member, you've always been sent a PM notification with a link to the feedback details. Now, this PM also includes a direct link to return feedback.

As a reminder, feedback can always be returned by clicking the yellow icon on your feedback page, beside the respective comment. Your feedback page can be accessed from the quick-links dropdown, or from your forum profile, under mini-statistics.

2. Thread URL automatically filled in when leaving feedback from link in Marketplace thread
When you leave feedback directly from a link found in a Marketplace post, you will no longer have to manually copy-and-paste the thread URL. Also, you will be shown a prompt to confirm that you are leaving feedback for the right person prior to being taken to the feedback page.

3. Shipping Destinations field moved to top of Marketplace listing
I've moved this field toward the top of the Marketplace post so that users can see whether or not they can get an item just by hovering over the thread title, without actually having to open the thread. See the attached screenshot for details.

Any further suggestions are welcome, and keep in mind that a thread deletion and expiration system is already in the works.

I can't seem to find a checkbox or button or drop down menu to close a thread once the item is sold.

Please post a new thread for those kinds of question in the future.

The option you are looking for is found in the quick links dropdown.
