Hi there,^^
just a tip now that you're starting to trade, if the last post to a topic is older than 4 months, the topic's creator is usually gone for good, unfortunately.
Or you can click on their avatar to go to their page, sometimes it says when they've last been on. (4+ months = no show)
I'm really not trying to sound mean, I've just learned from experience. (If some people would turn up, I'd have to fantastic trades!)
Welcome to Belltree! ^^
