This new feature just launched. Via the menu → Edit profile, you can now set your collection to public and get a sharable link. This link you can share with friends, post on reddit, X, etc. Anyone clicking the link can view the collection (but not edit anything!).
@marcel if users have their profile public, perhaps this can be added to the string that is generated when we copy from the Looking for/Trading for/Post to community buttons on the trade page?
I think until the trading features are up finalised, users will still need to post which cards they are specifically looking to trade in the forums. Although I imagine some users may still benefit from posting their profile and asking for trades too
That being said, if there was a way to generate a link that could apply the filters a user wanted (such as rarity or number of cards minimum, etc), that could be a way to move towards posting with live trades in the collection.
Users could in theory then click on the filtered collection and then use the feature to match possible trades they may have (and maybe then post this to the thread…)
True. I guess I was trying to that some users may want to prioritise their trade tokens for particular trades, and may want to filter their collection to what they would like, rather then be offered all possible trades for their collection.
I also found that possible trades won’t work for those that are “deck building” as the feature looks for missing cards only.
Ie for myself, the possible trades is blank because I have already 1 cards of each of the packs, but that doesn’t mean that a user is looking multiple of the cards.
Just thinking of the use cases that may be beneficial for the greater community.
Maybe we can have some sort of marking that can mark a Priority Trade in the collection that will always mark it as a tradeable and an additional mark that makes it Untradeable. So that people do not get false hopes of trades that are not user desirable.
This and adding the language of each card tracker, would make this site the Mecca of the trades.
I suppose that Adding language buttons on each Scan would make it really easy to keep track of the language.
Maybe the number of cards in each language can be displayed only in the Detailed Version of the card description.
I noticed that in the “possible trade match” window the pokemon are not sorted by card number but by name.
Also, the data in these windows to be inserted in a topic at the moment must be transcribed manually (copying and pasting makes a mess) or via screenshot. Adding a button to copy the list to the clipboard or changing the way the data is displayed to facilitate copying and pasting would be useful
Perhaps having a button te propose a trade with a push notification in a private message would be fenomenal. We do not really need everyone to see this personalized trades, do we?
Also, perhaps making a poll and maybe change the privacy policy to show everyone collection, so that the system can propose trades of people that has registered their cards giving priority to those who registered cards the earliest.
I just tried this for the first time and I noticed how cumbersome it feels.
I would like to be able to select the cards I want to trade and the cards I am willing to offer.
I also would like to be able to copy very easily my public page link. Perhaps adding a button to have it on the clipboard on our profile, or even on the reply section of the forum, to be added quickly.
Perhaps opening the link in a new tab and having a button that copies only the cards in that section to the clipboard.
But still, when there’s a lot of cards, it can be annoying to copy all the cards
I resorted to sending a screenshot, but that doesn’t give any useful information, there’s not my friend id.
The process should be smoother, all the steps involved probably discourages a lot of people. I need to look for different pieces of information in multiple places to be able to propose a trade.
At the moment,it feels overly simplified and only convenient for the person posting for the first time.
