Below is a brief description of each new feature.
---------------------------------------------------
See Recent Site Activity
---------------------------------------------------
When you login, just under the tabs and search bar, you will
see a "ticker" that shows all the major site activity that
happened in the last 24 hrs - like user signups, posted items,
items added to wishlists, etc. We think it's pretty cool!
Using this feature, you can get an instant read on the new items
that are being listed, as well as what is being placed on people's
wishlists. See what people are wishlisting, and then go see if you
have it on your shelf - it's a real easy way to make fast trades.
Oh, and don't worry, we'll be adding a more structured way for you
to see the entire wishlist of the site very soon.
---------------------------------------------------
Browse By Credit Value
---------------------------------------------------
We added a feature to the browse page that lets you see
only items at or below a credit value that you specify.
Only have 4 Credits to spend? No problem! Just enter
"4" and the site will only show items that are 4 Credits
or less.
We have had many community members ask us for this feature,
and we tried to make it function as simply as possible. Just
enter that maximum credit value in the field, click the button,
and SwapSimple automatically weeds out all the items that you
currently can't afford.
---------------------------------------------------
Mark Trades as Private
---------------------------------------------------
We now show in your user ratings, what item was ordered.
If you would rather keep this info private for a particular
item, there is now a check-box on the finalize order page.
We doubt you'll be using this feature regularly, but it may
come in handy - especially if you order a gift for someone
and you don't want them to see the trade in your trade history.
---------------------------------------------------
Added Item Links to User Ratings/Comments
---------------------------------------------------
Now, when looking through a user's past trade comments
and ratings, you will also be able to see which item
a particular trade rating refers to.
Now you can actually see what items people have traded
away, figure out who ordered them, and maybe track that
the user who ordered the item down to see if you can
get them to re-list the item so you can order it. It's
easy using these new links, and our private messaging
system.
---------------------------------------------------
Added "Tell-a-Friend" Buttons to Items
---------------------------------------------------
Every item on the site now has a "Tell-a-Friend" button.
If you find an item on the site that you feel someone you
know may like, you can use the TAF button to easily let
them know. It's also a great way to spread word of
SwapSimple to those people who will truly enjoy the service.
This is a really fun feature. I see items every day that I
know my friends are interested in, and this tool makes it
really easy for me to share these items with everyone I know.
---------------------------------------------------
Added Auto-Wishlist Buttons to Items
---------------------------------------------------
Each item that is not currently available for trade,
now has an "Add to Wishlist" button. Click the button
to easily and automatically add the item to your wishlist.
When the item becomes available for trade, we'll email you
to let you know.
Now that we added these buttons, you simply click and "pop,"
the item is added to your wishlist. No more having to be taken
to a separate page and whatnot. Adding items to your wishlist
is one of the major keys to swapping, and these buttons make
it easier than ever before.
---------------------------------------------------
Added Link in Search Results That Jumps to Unavailable Items
---------------------------------------------------
When you do a search on SwapSimple, we give you a list of
results, starting with all the items that we have available
for trade. If you don't see the item you want, try clicking
the new link at the top right of the search results. That will
show you results for items that we do not currently have available.
This will enable you to easily add those items to your wishlist
quickly and easily.
Now if we don't have an item for trade, you can simply skip down
to the items we don't have, and then easily fire up those new
wishlist buttons to add items to your wishlist.
