Recent Traders

How often does this list refresh on the Free Delivery tab?

I've sent a few sets and received points for them, yet the recent traders list doesn't seem to have updated to include the members I sent them to.

Unless the person receiving is only listed once in the list? In that case, they're there - they're just further down the list.

The recent traders list is a bit of a misnomer. First, we only show folks who have avatars. There are a lot of other folks trading, but they don't have pictures. We didn't want a list of gray heads.

And yes, the person is only listed once in the list, based on their most recent login.

FWIW — We're working on some other features to help you find more people / friends.

Thanks for the info Josh!

Speaking of listing trades; perchance on our profile pages, could only the trades that have gone through (as in: accepted) to other members be listed?

Currently, if I send a delivery to someone, that “trade” is listed whether they accept it or not. While only trades they accept are listed on their profile pages. So if I send 3 sets out, those are listed on my profile page (and not on the recipient’s page) despite not actually being accepted yet (or if they can at all).

@Josh: I was under the impression that the “Recent Traders” list was a misnomer as it had nothing to do with actual IBers who made trades, but rather a list of those people recently logging in. Case in point: I just logged out and back in and I am now top of the list. I haven’t made a trade for a while.

“Recent Traders” misnomer
No wonder I was never showing up there, I don't generally log in or out at all.

Most forums I've frequented have a indicator for if a particular member is 'on' at any given time, I hope something like that can eventually be added here.
