He meant search for closed trades. Right now it isn't possible.

I think you're safe as long as you didn't run it.

Bug maybe? I've never seen a trade closed without a reason.

The link from "Getting a friends list" to "social networking site" is quite a leap... Im often interested in my friend's trades. Not only that, you seem to forget that for a lot of people, their friends are also traders, even people who they are trading with on outpost, and its because of this that I think youre wrong, I think many people would use the friends list.

It might seem like quite a leap but I already see people requesting things like, "I wanna follow my friend's activity, I want to like their trades, I want a wall so people can leave their comments on it". Maybe I'm exagerating but to be honest I just don't really see the need in it. If you can give me a good example like, yeah that can only be done with having a friendlist then I'm all ears because I can't think of any. I also have friends on outpost, that doesn't mean I'm interested in all their trades or that I need to be friends with them there too.

In addition, "same effect" isnt strictly true as you still have to go through a lot of hassle (imo) to find your friend. If there is a list for blocked people, then surely there should be a list for friends?

You mean less hassle. In fact you don't even need to visit Outpost to find your friend since their page is a click away.

I know what you mean, I just don't see something like this being implemented anytime soon. TF2OP focuses on being a trading site, not a social networking site. I don't see much use of having a friendlist implemented and I doubt many people would use it.

Most of the time you either want to sell or buy a specific item, you're not interested in a user's every single trade. And for that the bookmark feature serves its purpose. If for whatever reason that's not enough for you, just create a folder on your bookmarks bar called "Friends" and save every user's page there, it will have the same effect of what you are requesting.

I feel its still an issue. Just putting this out there, but there should be a rule about using someone elses screenshots.

No there shouldn't be a rule. If we had a rule for every little thing, the rules page would be so long nobody would bother to read it (it already is long enough).

It falls under the common sense category, you don't take something from someone else without first asking for their permission. You're on the internet though and the internet is full of assholes. Besides if you want to get really technical about it, others have already pointed out that you have no rights over a screenshot from a game that you didn't create, just because you took that screenshot.

and what happens when trades are closed etc.

Bookmarks are bookmarks, they're not deleted when a trade is closed.

You can achieve pretty much the same effect by adding one of their trades to your favorites.

Did you download something from that link or was your account stolen just by visiting the site?
