After selling a few things to new forum members and being asked how to leave feedback I thought Id put up a guide for anyone who needs it. Ive found feedback valuable for when buying/selling reps on here and know a few people who have never left it because they didnt know how.

You will need:

The user name of the person who sold/bought the animal/thing from/for you
The link to the thread it was seen on and sale agreed through
Heres how to leave feedback:

1. Go to the users profile, this can be found through clicking 'community' on the top green menu bar and selecting 'member list'. You can search for the persons name on the top right under the ABC and page number list where it says 'search members'. you can also go to the users profile if you have them on your friends list or by clicking their name from a recent private message you may still have.

2. Once on their profile page, there will be a selection of tabs below their name, above where visitor messages are posted. Click the end one saying 'feedback'.

3. There will be some statistics and then a link saying 'View all feedbacks for **user**' click that link.

4. Again there will be some statistics and feedback scores for the user and another link saying 'Submit feedback for **user**'. Click that link to take you to the page where you can submit the feedback.

5. Now you are on the page where you can submit the details. The first option is asking whether you sold, bought or traded the animal/item. Select which applies to that transaction.

6. The second tab is asking you to select whether the transaction was positive (+1) (which means it went as planned, you were pleased etc), neutral (-0-) (which means there may have been hiccups but it turned out fine in the end or you came to an agreement, etc) or negative (-1) (which means you were messed around or other person didnt carry out thier end of the bargin etc). Select which one applies to the transaction

7. The third tab is asking for a short comment such as:
'lovely person, polite, met on time'
'did turn up, never rang'
'was very late and i almost left but got there in the end'

etc, put what you feel others should see when browsing members feedback.

8. This is where you need to enter the link to the thread where the deal was formed. go to the users profile and find the thread then copy the coding in the toolbar at the very top of the page, enter this into where it says 'Deal thread URL'

9. Additional comments. This isnt visable to other forum members, just the people involved in the deal and the moderators. This needs a few short words in order for the feedback to be submitted, you can wish the other person luck with the animal or put information on feeding you may have forgotten to say, etc etc.

10. When happy and finished, go to the bottom of the page and click the button 'Submit reply' and voila! feedback submitted. This will send a private message to that user to let them know you've left feedback.
