I love this new feature but I am having a difficulty in using it. I managed to generate ar eport which was emailed to me. I've since been unable to create another report. How do I do that?

I believe because it is such an intesnsive process if ewveryone ran it everyday it would bring the site to its knees so I believe it is limited to being run once a week. You will find a link to your report in the notification tab in the messages area. You can access it from there.

That makes sense, thanks.
One more question... how are the match scores calculated? For example, there is someone on my list with a match score of 9, but I have 2 cards they want and they have 14 I want.

No idea how the score is calculated but I agree the feature is fanatastic. It makes finding trade partners so much easier. It might be the single best new feature added to he website.

I agree 10000%!
I'm starting to only want to complete large trades and this makes it so much easier to find folks with lots of matches with..
NOW, if if the trade match could be converted into a real trade..that'd be the bees knees...maybe a 2022 feature?

it's a report for a particular point in time. Because wants change fluidly the score was updated but not on the "outdated" report.

From what I can gather, the score is based on the side with the least amount of matches. So if there is 100 on one side and 4 on the other than the score is 4.

I'm assuming your saying "score" when in fact it is a card count. So here is how it works. If they have 5 cards and 3 of them are the same cards it counts all of them. and shows a 5 but in fact, it's only 2 different cards and the other 3 are because they have 3 of the same cards up for trade and it's on your want list. It's counting All cards up for trade on each other's wants list and it works both ways. If I only have one card on your want list but have 3 of them it will show a 3. it's that simple.
I'm loving it. Have a cards count pop-up really helps and saves time on clicking to see if we have any matches. Best Update Ever!!!

What is that behind you!?! Oh, It's me! Looking at the cards you have, That I want. :)

So I've noticed something in this Trade Matching (not the weekly report, the one on a members profile).
If they have 1 on their wantlist, but I have 3 available, it shows that as 3 "separate" cards, not 3 copies of the same card. So I look at a member and see 12 "matches", but in actual fact it's only 6 because of duplicates.
Can this be modified a bit to only reflect their wantlist matches, not my available matches? (As in, they only want 1 of my 3, not all 3.) Does that make sense?
-------------------------------
I could probably buy the already complete sets cheaper somewhere else, but I like getting my maildays.

I do find it mildly amusing when I see "member has 140 matches" and open it up to find 130+ of them are the same Shawn Kemp card I have...
