Sorry if this has already been a thread somewhere, but can we please go back to having all the trade info available when a game is in your requests or offers lists?  It's just such a pain to get all the info otherwise.

If Goozex is going to remove features like this (because it makes the site more simple for new users?  I don't understand why something like this got changed) can you please make it so that a user can adjust their personal settings to have both visible, or something?

I love Goozex, I really do.  I just don't get this change.

Cheers.

I'm new, but what you're describing would be really helpful. I was trying to get that information and couldn't figure out how to do so.

I'd like it to be changed back to. Or to at least have option to see both.

I was a new user this summer and had no problem figuring out the trade info and was not overwelmed by it at all.  I'd love to see it go back to the way it was too.

If you click the [view stats] link next to your queue position in the requests/offers page, it will show you the "missing" stats for the trading info of the game. A popup will appear with all of the information that was removed from the trading info, and you can click the "game's page" link to go to the trading info tab on the game and see the opposite stats. Frankly, I find it easier to do this because now I don't have to click on the game's link and click on the trading info tab. It's all about knowing where to find it and how to use it.

Well yes it is possible to get all the info, but why couldn't all that info remain in the Trading Info page as well for those of us who prefer using that method?  What benefit was gained by removing half the trading info from the Trading Info page?

As it is now, by observing some responses in this thread, it seems not everyone has been able to find all the links required to access all the trading info.  I just don't see why having all the trading info on one page (like it is for games that aren't in your requests or offers lists) needed to be changed.  Or what benefit was added by removing it.  The View Stats button is great, and it was something lots of us were asking for Goozex to add to the site a long time ago, but adding View Stats and removing half the stats from Trading Info.... I don't know... why is that better?  Beause it forces people to find the View Stats button?

I think I remember hearing on the other topic that was started when this first happened, that putting both sides of the info was slowing down the servers.

Edit: Okay, found the link to the original topic that was started. Here's the actual reason from the post:

Second, there was a problem of performance as the trading info tab was slowing down the server and affecting all pages on the site, with information that was not correctly tailored to the reader.

Ahhh ok, thanks for that.  That answers my question right there.

You can still see all of the trading info if a game is not in one of your request or offer lists.  The problem is people may not want to remove a game from their lists and lose thier queue spot, just to have all of the trading info readily available.

I use a simple workaround.  Just log out of your account and manually search for the games.  Select trade info, and you'll get all of the old information like it used to be.  Then log back in when you're done.

When you do that the stats are not 100% accurate.For example if i check it the way you just said i may see 3 offers for a game and when i log in and check with my account i may see 0 because people won't trade with my region(i live in Canada).
