Would there be any way to tie in the address exchange and the trade tracker so you could just get the name and address transferred to a trade if the person is listed on the addy x?

LOVE that idea! I always write down the address and then type it in the fields that way. Would save time and errors if transferable.

I cut and paste, but it's soooo time consuming... The next trick would be to get everyone signed up for A X!

One note, an FYI: Only those who sign up on it are able to view the information, and then only subscribers. Trades are open to everyone, so linking the two would not be a complete solution.

Yes, gardenwife mentioned the first of two reasons why this doesn't work.

The second reason is that the address exchange is not available to everyone. It is only available to you if you are also a participant. If you haven't entered your own data, then you don't get to see other peoples' data.

Therefore, this feature would be limited to a very small scope of people, and it would also be a feature that would force you to divulge your private information to everyone just to access. This reason alone makes it pretty much infeasible.

I should add that I think it is an excellent idea!

It might encourage more people to register since it would cut down the admin. time on trades.

Anyway - thanks for considering the idea. I'm always looking for shortcuts!
