Leaving Feedback for Forum Members

[Roewammi]

After selling a few things to new forum members and being asked how to leave feedback I thought Id put up a guide for anyone who needs it. Ive found feedback valuable for when buying/selling reps on here and know a few people who have never left it because they didnt know how.

You will need:

• The user name of the person who sold/bought the animal/thing from/for you
• The link to the thread it was seen on and sale agreed through

Heres how to leave feedback:

1. Go to the users profile, this can be found through clicking 'community' on the top dark blue menu bar and selecting 'member list'. You can search for the persons name on the top right under the ABC and page number list where it says 'search members'. you can also go to the users profile if you have them on your friends list or by clicking their name from a recent private message you may still have.

2. Once on their profile page, there will be a selection of dark blue tabs, above where visitor messages are posted. Click the end one saying 'feedback'.

3. There will be some statistics and then a link in dark blue writing saying 'View all feedbacks for **user**' click that link.

4. Again there will be some statistics and feedback scores for the user and another link in dark blue writing saying 'Submit feedback for **user**'. Click that link to take to to the page where you can submit the feedback.

5. Now you are on the page where you can submit the details. The first option is asking whether you sold, bought or traded the animal/item. Select which applies to that transaction.

6. The second tab is asking you to select whether the transaction was positive (+1) (which means it went as planned, you were pleased etc), neutral (-0-) (which means there may have been hiccups but it turned out fine in the end or you came to an agreement, etc) or negative (-1) (which means you were messed around or other person didnt carry out thier end of the bargin etc). Select which one applies to the transaction

7. The third tab is asking for a short comment such as:
'lovely person, polite, met on time'
'did turn up, never rang'
'was very late and i almost left but got there in the end'

etc, put what you feel others should see when browsing members feedback.

8. This is where you need to enter the link to the thread where the deal was formed. go to the users profile and find the thread then copy the coding in the toolbar at the very top of the page, enter this into where it says 'Deal thread URL'

9. Additional comments. This isnt visable to other forum members, just the people involved in the deal and the moderators. This needs a few short words in order for the feedback to be submitted, you can wish the other person luck with the animal or put information on feeding you may have forgotten to say, etc etc.

10. When happy and finished, go to the bottom of the page and click the button 'Submit reply' and voila! feedback submitted. This will send a private message to that user to let them know you've left feedback.

n.b - if you can't see the feedback tab you might need to switch your internet browser to full screen or you can click on the tab with the arrow.

Ooops forgot that, thanks

thx for the guide.

I still think it's far too complicated like this.

I have found a much faster way but I think it could still be improved.

To access some1's feedback page all you need to do is find their ad in the classified section and their feedback score appears top right of their posts under "post nr"

Clicking on this number brings up their feedback page where one can leave feedback.

All too complicated for me mind head hurts surely you can set so you just click a button on for sale thread?

great info - i understand what to do, but it keeps telling me theres a problem with my Deal - im guessing the url, but looks just like the example they give you, and ive tried it again and again, copied it from the original thread,and it just wont let me

so i left my feedback as a comment on the users profile, best i could do.....

would be good if it was easier, but then u run the risk of more ppl giving false feedback, and lookin at the scammers thread.....it would make it much harder for genuine ppl to decipher who is trust worthy..

Any idea's?
