Are we going to see updates to outpost anytime soon?
The site has been lacking in some of the more advanced options like making trades requesting certain color hats(current method makes it hard for paint sellers to know if you want paint or just a painted hat), multiples in items(like 20 ref for specific items), beyond 8 item trades and marking the already existing advanced features better since I just learned as of this post that they existed myself.

The outpost has all of those things, I agree that they do need to fix the items being sold going out of stock. If you'd like to search unusual effects, clean/uncraftable items, item levels, and paints, just click on the little '+' directly under the items searched for being sold.

Horrible marking job. I have never noticed or clicked the + before.

Bloated? I'd say TF2OP is one of the less bloated sites out there. Sure it'd be nice to have a couple of fixes here and there (that's what the Suggestions subforum is by the way) but that doesn't make it unusable or in any way bad.

Oh and I don't know if you've heard, but a certain auto trading site had all the refined stolen from their bots and they're in the process of refunding people (if they can even refund everyone). Their userbase is basically 0 now.

Well I meant bloated in the fact it seemed to be lacking said features, but they are just horribly marked.

I can second that, it is pretty small.

I have asked around too and so far 2 of the 3 people I have asked have never heard of them.

I always thought it was blatantly obvious. Green plus underneath the trades, why would you not click it to find out what it does?

comparing tf2outpost to bazaar I see several features missing like more than eight items per trade or maybe a number towards every item and partially automated syncronisation backpack-2-trade so you see if a trade is already done. Also bazaar got pretty much rid of days old orhpan-autobumping trades by requiring the user to be available to display his trades.

comparing bazaar to tf2outpost on the other side shows bazaar is lacking something fundamentaly important: users.

Well it's hard to kick an entrenched powerhouse out when they are pretty close on level of usability. The switch from tp to outpost was huge.

Yeah, its a little bit like a 6 pound fox fighting a 600 pound gorilla.

On the other hand bazaar is doing some things overcomplicated - can someone tell me why bazaar has two keys, one which is worth one key (sic!) and the other is worth 2.88 refined? Both are seperated entities in search also... like they never learned the hard leasons of 7 different kinds of keys from tp... And what does the small star in the top left? Where is the 600 pages printed manual you need to understand "sell now" and "buy now"? Why is there no "AND/OR" clause in search, why is the default search behaviour "AND" which renders most searches useless...

Seriously, I am not sure who is the 6 pound fox and who is the 600 pound gorilla in this duel. Maybe it is also a duel between a 600 pound fox against a 6 pound gorilla or something like that...

The only update I want is fix to very slow jQuery search engine. It sometimes freezes browser for half a minute or can crash it.

And easier to use search, there are so many items in dota 2 and they are not sorted.

We might see outpost die if valve gets serious and does item for item trades too.
