Feedback is requiring a thread to refer to. What if there isn't one?
I'm having the same issue too. I'll see if sis can PM Cicada and find out what is up.
I find the closest thread similar to the trade started by the person I did the trade with and then in the comments section, I link to the actual trade thread (if there was one.)
It was by design — the feedback system requires you to have posted in the thread for the deal on which feedback is being left (and that person had to have started the thread as well) — It's only enabled for the marketplace forums and all subforums and Secret Santa.
Same for meSo we can't give feedback for trades arranged entirely by PM? (that's almost all my feedback)
I can remove the "deal thread required" restriction, but the intent was for the feedback to be more meaningful for marketplace users by enforcing the the feedback to be tied to a deal, similar to ebay feedback.So we can't give feedback for trades arranged entirely by PM?

Is there a way to remove this part of it? I start a lot of "group" trading threads, like most recently the Park Pack Trading thread but also for the various Mystery Boxes, like the Aladdin one that is coming soon. Instead of 10 different members posting 10 different threads, about what they have and what they want (and with things like the Park Pack, this would repeat monthly). But if I'm the thread creator, then people could only leave feedback for me, correct? If two members farther down the thread chain make a trade then they can't leave feedback for each other, except if one them makes a separate thread. I would have assumed "group" threads were preferable for these situations because you would have a lot of activity all at once and it's better to have it contained to one thread, instead of dozens.
I'm not entirely sure, but as long as a person had posted in the thread, they should be able to leave feedback for its creator. Regarding the second part, that's true. If two people find a trade within a thread that neither of them started then they would not be able to leave feedback.Is there a way to remove this part of it?

I looked into it, and it seems like these options may fix some issues:Is there a way to remove this part of it?

Okay, so as an update, I've enabled some new things with the feedback system:
You can now add feedback from an individual post — click "Add Feedback" under the user's feedback rating, to add feedback for that user, for that post. This should help with @hopemax's big trading threads where multiple people are making deals in one single thread.
I am having trouble leaving feedback for @slbrabham - I chose the thread to link to (the Park Pack trading thread), which we both commented in, and still I am getting this error.... what am I doing wrong?
I also am wanting to leave feedback for @aleck2008 - he saw my post in the Park Pack trading thread, but never posted in it himself, just messaged me directly. How will I leave feedback for him?
