I don't understand what this proposal will do. Would someone explain, please?

I think I like this one.  In my experience, I find cards that some members have on their trade list, but I don't have anything that is on their want list.  I think this feature would exclude this type of match from popping up.  I then wouldn't have to get excited to get something I've been really wanting only to be disappointed. 

I'm not the proposer, but I think I know what it means.  Currently, matches are one-way, i.e., Sportzcommish has cards on his Trade List that match cards on my Wantlist.  It doesn't tell me if I have anything on my Trade List that matches cards on Sportzcommish's Wantlist.  Which would indicate an actual two-way trade is possible.

So it's not with a transaction, it's more of a "Recent Matches" notification, right?

This is why I have Matches reports shut-off.  Got tired of seeing all those matches to my Wantlist, but then discovering I have no matches to their Wantlist.

I had suggested something similar before the "New Feature Proposal" came to be as I, too, was frustrated with what you described, Chuck. I had recommended a color coding system that would not only identify that you had matches with each other, but gave you a range of how many. I was told in one of the "To-Do List" threads that my proposal was being worked on, but nothing came of it. I don't know if it was impossible, but that it was somewhat complicated (my word, not Admin's).

Anyway, it sounds like a good suggestion.

I would imagine a two-way match report would be complicated.

I am going through my Wantlist matches. After Proposing one Trade and going back I started getting messages that I had no Matches after clicking on a Match Alert. I then noticed that it is listing my For Sale Trade Options in with my Wantlist. Not sure what is going on but I am sure I would have had some matches both ways had I been able to access. Hopefully this is fixed by Morning.

When I see that there's a one-way match, I simply go to their profile and click on the links:

• Match items on your Wantlist to items on this member's For Sale / Trade list
• Match items on your For Sale / Trade list to items on this member's Wantlist

Usually, I click both to see all, not just the recent alerts. I've left the recent match alerts on, and try to review them all, but largely ignore them (as most are one card here, one card there).

Dan...That is also my process but tonight it is telling me I have no Matches after clicking on a Match Alert which should yield a Potential Trade. It is also listing Eras/Sets that would only be on my For Trade List in  with my Wantlist Matches.
