then do it again but fill in your info.
what browser are u using?

Thanks for your response. When I click edit, this is what I get. I can't even get in to delete anything. I am using IE7.

Failed. This happens for a number of reasons. Some of the more common are:
-Trade isn't confirmed
-You pressed cancel
-You attempted to edit a variable unassociated with your username.

Maybe it's your browser not allowing javascript?

I keep getting the same message myself when I try to edit to add contact info. (I am the receiver of the trade). Wasn't sure what to do about it either. I am also using IE and had all cookies enabled and pop up blockers off.

Thanks for any insight!

Its' happening alot to a lot of different members. I'm just waiting to hear back from one of the Admins who may know what's causing it.

When we have an answer we'll let you know.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Sad

Having the same issue here with using IE7. Javascript works fine on other sites. I just don't want my requestors to think I'm leaving them in the dark (although I have changed my status from the drop down menu).

I opened my Internet Options in IE7, clicked "Security" and lowered the level to the lowest (Medium).
Then I was able to edit my notes.
IMMEDIATELY afterward, I went back in and set it back to its previous level.

It evidently has something to do with scripts.Hope this solves it for you.

Yep, works perfectly! Any way to make a permanent fix/alteration for use on this site so we don't have to switch our security settnigs up and down each time? Thanks.

It has to be your browsers settings on how it handles scripts. Wink

Are all of you with problems using IE7? It looks like a majority are.

IE7 is more restrictive by default when it comes to active scripting. There is really nothing we can do from the server side to fix it -- Microsoft has decided that the potential for a security violation due to a malignant script is great enough to warrant a default restriction, and thus leaves it up to you to relax the restrictions.

I tried to join the http://sidekick3.yourgiftsfree.com/?id=
after i wrote my information, then what is "offer credit???"
do i have to join another site??

KeithA · Posted: Wed Jan 31, 2007 8:34 am Post subject:

olivia_jo, please read the links in the big red box at the upper-left corner hand of your screen.

There is no posting of reflinks here except via PM and in the trade module.

Secondly, yes, you do have to complete an offer to get credit. There is more detail on the process in the Newbie's Guide to Trading.

I use ie 7 too, at the bottom of the page it always has an error sign
error "newbiewarning content" is undefined" and I haven't been able to leave feedback. I lowered the security and added to trusted sites but still have error

If a trade doesn't work out for one reason or another - when should I should Trade failed as opposed to Request Deletion?
Does either of them affect your TR?

salmonerik · Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2007 11:26 am Post subject:

Today is my first day on this site. My question is regarding the receiver status on the trade module. When I sign up and complete an order, does the site automatically change the status to green or do I change it myself? And if I change it, how do I know when the order is complete?

MarkM. · Posted: Sun Apr 01, 2007 8:21 pm Post subject: Think it's IE7

I'm getting the same thing. Same exact message, "trades not confirmed" or "you hit cancel" or "trying to edit variable not specific to username" or something like that. When you click on it, it sounds like a pop-up has been blocked even though you have pop-up blocker turned off, and I have set to allow all cookies, even gave permission to allow this site on my firewall (which I WILL NOT turn off under any circumstances). Sometimes (usually the first time) when you click on edit, it will show a very quick "pop up" bar at the top saying it is trying to run java script. Sometimes (if your quick) you can catch it and allow but it still does nothing. In fact, my computer has crashed several times trying to do this. I'm not an expert but I have had similar problems in the past and think it has to do with Internet Explorer v7. I was able to make some succesful trades with someone, but when you click on request TR, it says a new window will pop up asking for feedback, you cli
