Updates to edit trade page

[Nick]

Your trade rules now display at the top of the edit trade page to make them more visible. If you're editing a trade that was sent to you, you can now view the other person's trade rules by clicking the expanding rules section that appears at the top of the page.

To save space there (and to ensure that people can actually read your rules) your trade rules are now limited to a maximum of 2500 characters in length. Tess explains:

There are a lot of people on the site who rage about users breaking their rules - but when I see their trade rules I'm not surprised because even I wouldn't bother reading that many paragraphs just to initiate a friendly trade offer.

I think trade rules would be followed more often if people kept their rules down to a few short, simple bullet points

e.g.
1. I'm only interested in dogs
2. I'm only looking for pets on my wishlist
3. I'll only swap pets if they're from the same month & same rarity.
4. The blue dog on my wishlist is a hoard pet and I will only trade 1 common for each blue dog offered

If your current trade rules are longer than 2,500 characters, you won't be able to save them again until you make it shorter.

We also improved the general appearance of the Edit Trade page a bit .

Wow, thanks a ton for changing the rules and layout!
I'm so tired of seeing people with ultra-long trade rules. Now everyone's should be nice and short.

Again, BIG thanks to you and Tess, Nick!

Oooh, this is epic! Thank you!
I really like the new layout. <3 And it's going to be a nice to directly see the other person's rules when editing a trade. : )

Thanks Nick!
No more spending hours reading fifty page long rules.
And it looks really good now

Cool! Thank you for putting a limit on how many words we put...

Once again - a brilliant update to the site - thanks Nick and the team.
I hardly ever trade with people if their trade rules are too long to bother to read. There is no point in writing an essay - there's a cancel button and an edit button for unfair trades, and the rest is common sense.

Yay! Thanks Nick!

Ooh, yay! A great update, thank you Nick! Especially for the 2500 characters limit - very indeed needed.
