how to give trader feedback

Hi all,

We recently added a new feature that'll allow users to give their feedback from transactions they've made with other users in the bst forum. There's two ways to add feedback, either directly inside a thread in the bst section or from within a user's profile. Adding feedback from within a thread is easier as it'll automatically link the thread in the feedback, but I'll explain how to do it both ways.

Giving feedback from within a thread:

1- visit the bst thread (note, the button only appears in the bst forum)

2- click on the 'Give Feedback' button on the bottom left of the post:



3- once redirected to the feedback page, you're able to change the role and the rating:





4- leave a comment and click the 'add feedback' button.


Giving feedback from a user's profile:

1- visit the user's profile

2- click on the 'trade feedback' tab:



3- change the role and rating, if necessary:





4- add a link if you want

5- leave a comment and click the 'add feedback' button.

Once feedback is added, users will receive a PM and an alert. As always, user's can adjust their alert settings in their user cp if they do not wish to get alerts when someone leaves feedback for them:

Nicely done, Andrew, and a great addition to the site.

RE: giving feedback from within the thread.

How does option 1 work after the item has been sold and the thread has been closed?
Option 2 is fine, but I'd just like to make sure I'm not missing something, because the 'leave feedback' button is not available in this situation.

Thanks.

the trader feedback system was built - as was this tutorial - way before we ever decided to set up a system to automatically archive bst threads. if the 'give feedback' button is not available in the archive section, I'll look into whether or not it's a simple setting change. if not, it's likely that you'll either need to manually link to the thread via option #2 or just give feedback without linking to a thread at all.

Thank you.
