DogsNDaylilies said:@Dave - thank you! I'll test it out again a little later today, then.

A few things:
1) Is there already the feature that a seed listing becomes un-editable once a trade for that seed pack has been agreed upon? (That way no on accidentally, or otherwise, changes the entry for a seed pack that has already been promised to someone else.)

2) I really like that there is an icon on our plant list to add things to the swap. In theory, that makes it really easy to list things on my seed swap list.

I went to test it out and it wasn't quite as easy as I'd hoped. Maybe this is an idea for the future, but it would be great to have a search feature in our plant lists that allows you to search for a type such as 'vegetable' instead of specific family or genus. To illustrate what I'm talking about: I added 'Parris Island Cos Romaine' to my plant list to test the feature and then when I went back to search for it to add to my seed list, it took me 2-3 attempts because I didn't know that lettuce falls under 'lactuca'...and, if I wanted to later add my corn, I'd have to do a different search. Having a broader category might make this search function more practical for the seed swaps. Then again, if seed information is being stored from one swap to the next, members might simply opt to add their seeds exclusively in the trading platform (by typing it in the textbox with the suggested entries) and edit their lists solely that way.



I'm really excited to see what the platform for the actual trading of the seeds will look like! Any news on that? Is there any ability to see others' seed lists right now so we can alpha/beta test that function?

DND -- when you add a plant to your plant list you can "categorize" it -- putting lettuce and corn both in a "vegetables" category, for instance -- then you can select to just show all the entries in the vegetables category.

Edited to say thanks for pointing out the new icon for adding to the swap list from our plant last -- I hadn't discovered that yet!
