Guide talk:Listing items for sale using the Path of Exile trade forum

From Path of Exile Wiki
Revision as of 22:35, 7 March 2022 by Levvy (talk | contribs) (Levvy moved page Guide talk:Poe.trade tutorial to Guide talk:Pathofexile.com/trade tutorial: Poe.trade is wildly outdated and is largely inferior to the main tradesite. This article mainly describes the basics of operating the tradesite, so I'm going to update it to use the official site instead)

Improve wording

For a tutorial, these instructions are terrible.

"1. Login to pathofexile.com; 2. Browse to the Trading Section."

I just watched a user search the pathofexile.com page for the "trading section" for twenty minutes before giving up. That's because there is literally no mention of "Trading" anywhere on the page.

Either provide them instructions using the actual page details ("Click on the 'Forum' menu, choose 'Index'"), or (if you are worried that page details will change and the tutorial will become out of sync), at least tell them what word to look for ("Browse to the Forum pages, then to the Trading section.") —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SonOfSmak (talkcontribs) 01:49, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Feel Free to improve it. --Illviljan (talk) 03:52, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
