Trading disabled

[SacredDino]

No one can trade screany comming

[Jordy]

Are you sure your not in a room that's under a category with no trades.

Some room categories like help desk's don't allow trading.

[SacredDino]

no its in rooms like trade city even and any room u can open the trade box but cant put furni in

[Killerfaz]

It's true, you put furniture in the box, but it doesn't go in, it returns to your hand :(! Same in all rooms, all category's

but you can still donate.

[Slowpoke]

Yeah it's true - trading doesn't work.

Rumours floating around that Finch-HIMself is hacking UK.

[jesus]

:O I wonder why?!

[SacredDino]

how would u donate?

[Xeck]

how would u donate?

Drop furni in a room with free rights.

Not being able to trade proved quite irritating when I was running my furni shop. ;P

[mat64]

How strange

[PaulMacC]

Yeah it's true - trading doesn't work.

Rumours floating around that Finch-HIMself is hacking UK.
Heard that aswell.

[Slowpoke]

It's been shouted in Vintus and Welcome Lounge, "lock your rooms he's hacking again".

[PaulMacC]

Haha, they actually are shouting that all the noobs.

Basically, trading has been disabled until tomorrow, due to updates!

[Slowpoke]

Good find, didn't he say why?

Nope - I think Finch may have damaged something but they don't want to admit it.

[Invent]

You do know Finch doesn't just "hack" hotels?

He spends hours trying to trick mods to use a fake login. He can't just "hack" one hotel after another.

The trading has nothing to do with finchy I'm sure of it.

[Ashhizzle]

You guys think everything bad is to do with Finch, I'm with the above post.

Its probably just updates, like they've said.

[Killerfaz]

Yeah, I later sent another CFH asking if it's anything serious as people are speculating the USA hacker is now after us

They replied it's nothing serious, just updates, and trading should be returning tomorrow.

[Robby]

Maybe a trade box update..

been waiting for one for a while now ;)

[Zebroid]

Yes maybe Finch but lost_witness has given hint of trading home stickers in an update this year, maybe this? I want the trade box to be bigger or have more than 6 furni tradeable like the hand arrows... off topic sorry lol.

[Robby]

Would be better if you could put x many items in at the same time :)

[Joord]

out of all things, why would finchy disable trading? that theories pathetic ;s

[Immenseman]

Words of wisdom.

[PaulMacC]

Staff could have disabled to save him from trading all their furni away?

[Invent]

Staff could have disabled to save him from trading all their furni away?

Why the hell would he be trading? He'd just pick and drop the furni?

[Joord]

Staff could have disabled to save him from trading all their furni away?

yet the quicker way for him to do it would be to drop it in a free-rights room. :)

[Minstrels]

Wouldn't need a free-rights room on a staff account love.

[jesus]

Staff could have disabled to save him from trading all their furni away?Exactly. They are probably just modifying the trade box anyway.

[Martyn]

Is there about this guy that hacked the other hotel, like with screenys and stuff, if there is, link is appreciated :)

New trade box would be nice, that's about the only origonal thing they haven't ruined.. ;[

[Joord]

Wouldn't need a free-rights room on a staff account love.

yeh i suppose, though thats not at all the point. :)

[Shawnstra]

http://i28.tinypic.com/308fsep.png


ahh nice find, maybe some problems thats all.

[SacredDino]

i think the update of the trade box thing sounds right but knowing how stupid mods can be it could be possiblity

[Killerfaz]

They have not disabled trading from stopping this hacker trading furni away, as dropping furniture in other peoples rooms still work, so it would be pointless.

[SacredDino]

yeah killer makes sense :D

[le harry]

Staff could have disabled to save him from trading all their furni away?
Are you kidding me?

[Fart]

Obv it isnt finch. Why stop trading when he can easly access and drop?
He just got lucky with .com tbh

[Minstrels]

yeh i suppose, though thats not at all the point. :)
Yeah I know, I just like being awkward. ;>

[Moh]

Such a detailed article found here.

I blame Danny

haha, great detail included there..

[Moh]

Mabe theres a 1 credit coin Finch gave out which got traded and they must stop it!

[Kardan]

It's a glitch then. Staff have turned off trade on purpose, and the trade is just blanked out as if it were disabled by the room category.

Posted Feb 24, 2008 Technical Updates (http://www.habbo.com/articles/category/technical_updates)
http://images.habbohotel.com/c_images/article_images_us/maintenance_thumb.gif
A few features are on break right now.
Trading and Bank of Habbo are undergoing some maintenance. We will alert you when these features are back up and running.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Habbo Hotel Staff


On US and UK

Maybe a new feature then?

[Mystifo]

The word about Finch's forum is that the USA had it disabled so that it would make it easier to re-cover all the lost credits and furni from his ''hacking''.

On his forum he created a thread, all members who posted in it got free credits. I'm not sure why they would have disabled this on the UK hotel, I wasn't aware that he compromised any staff on the UK.

HELPFUL? NO!

[e5]

Haha everyone thinks it's Finch - Oh dear :rolleyes: I think he'd do something much bigger ;). Trading disabled could just be an error, it's weirds.

Edit: seen them screenies - LOL and the article on on US ? :S So if it's on both, it's probably on purpose. Are they promoting scammed? Good to see if off and to see peoples reactions ;) Annoying though, i've got 1.3k creds all in gold bars - Not in my purse =[

[efq]

on .ca on of the staffs console mission is. Trading will be back soon! or somthing

[e5]

So it's only all hotels? LOL obviously planning something, they can't disable trading on ALL hotels.

[efq]

they can do what they like

I'm not doubting that.

Lol, this is going to promote scamming not safety.

"Trade me that hc for my duck, drop it in my room and ill drop my duck in yours" - "kkzzz!!!! DEAL!"

:P, I hope they update it cuz its looking a bit dull.

[OhLiam]

Its not getting Updated.

We have Trading online. But you can't put anything in the box. So it's kinda disables 2.

[RyanDOT]

Sent an C4H, Heres the reason.

Edited by Tweety (Forum Moderator): Thread merged due to ebing on the same topic.

[John!]

That's not a reason, the mod just stated what we already knew.

[OhLiam]

This post is useless, it was already posted, and this gives no clear fact of whats happened,

I posted a screenie in the other thread and habbo said it was a FAULT.
This thread should be closed tbh.

http://images.habboupload.com/1203850183.png

[edgates]

They're obviously not going to tell us.

I asked 'When will trading be enabled again?'
I got the reply 'Trading is disabled. Thanks for your call!'

[Kardan]

Why are you all sending messages to MODs anyway? They're employed to help Habbos and keep them safe, they'll have nothing to do with trading being disabled.

It's techies that sort things like that out, not MODs, so all they'll tell you is that it's disabled :rolleyes:

[:job2]

I think they found a glitch and had to turn off trading so they are bringing trade box updates forward and killing 2 birds with 1 stone

[Asher]

Nope - I think Finch may have damaged something but they don't want to admit it.

He's not some Godly figure you know.

Why are you still bothering them when clearly you know it's a fault and it'll be fixed later ;s do you gain some personal satisfaction getting your own reply from a mod or something?

[Orangeesh]

a glitch..

So double items etc

[Bibliophobia]

last time they did this was because of fake trading

[CHA!NGANG]

This is happening on all the Hotels I think.

[Joord]

ii got 4 mod replii >;]] xD

lmao.........

omg?! :'(:'(:'(:'(

Edited by --ss-- (Forum Super Moderator): Please do not post pointlessly.

[Sorosy]

The reason people are leading to believe that Finch-HIMself is behind this is pretty obvious. He hacked into a moderator account and somehow managed to get into the housekeeping. Who knows what else he might have contained? It could be an exploit, bug, or anything in the coin system.

[Jordy]

Trading or the credits system could of been exploited in one of the other hotel's perhaps? Scripters etc, you never know. Or perhaps they found a hole in it themselves?

Either the MODs are covering up with their numerous excuses, or maybe they just don't know? Probably the latter.

I would say something is pretty buggy seeing as the damage of what Finch did to Habbo.com....

[Ardemax]

The UK has a different network set up than US?
If it were the same with every hotel then they'd all go down.
I'm not too bothered about the trading, even though there is a quest about. I'm not entering.

[e5]

MODs only tell us what they know/allowed to say by the Offices.

[Immenseman]

The trading rooms are still full though, lol.

[Ugawa]

I cant trade either, wen will it b back up?

X

[e5]

I don't think moderators would have any idea on what's going on. They're just there to moderate chats. It isn't their responcibility to keep up on what's happening on the tech team's end.

I believe it's because Finch got into the ASE/Housekeeping and they're probably taking the "give credits" out of the ASE options or something along those lines to keep this from happening again.

[e5]

To be honest, the whole turning the trade/exchange off will be probably another money making scheme. Remember they stopped all Habbo Exchange and brought it back the same day Ukash came out just so people would buy credits.

[GhostFace-]

lol i noticed that when my bro was on.

[e5]

I remember ages ago when trading was disabled and there was this site (won't say it, but it wont be a domain anymore) and you log onto and it takes you to Habbo.co.uk and you put your details in and you can trade and do whatever, it worked and they didn't hack me after it or whatever :P

[Hiro]

Haha. Didn't realise it would cause so much fuss!
I'll put it back to how it was.

PROTEST.

I predict a riot !!

Riot in Losties room ;]

[You]

It's back apparently?

[---MAD---]

Interesting bug. One of the main features on habbo is trading and yet they didn't test this before uploading changed code? Weird.

I doubt they got hacked.

[Typoh]

its back me and 088! traded xoxox

[Dr.Rdx]

I'm checking if it's back, along with redeeming

..

It's not back, not in private rooms anyway. Neither of them are, trading or redeeeming.

[Ouch!]

Yeah it's true - trading doesn't work.

Rumours floating around that Finch-HIMself is hacking UK.

Finch-HIMself is an idiot. He's gonna get arrested very soon.....I've said too much.

I know something you don't know about Finch-HIMself's very near future......

Lol If Habbo Uk Gets Hacked

He Would Get Put In Jail Lol :P

Trading is apparently down for maintenance.
It is on USA and CA as well and there is an article about it on those two sites.

[habtasia]

Tbh, i think Habbo never got hacked!

Habbo has one of the most secure system's you will ever see!

The housekeeping system dosnt use passwords

It only allows certain Internet Protocol's (IP's) in instead

(Techies, Sulake Staff IP's etc...)

So, there is no need to worry about Habbo!

It's a warez community so obviously they're going to be full of programs but their files aren't infected. Michael actually helps and teaches people how to use certain programs, etc. He is generally a nice guy and uses Sulake as a "challenge". He's hacked several sites as well, he doesn't just mess with Sulake.

Dear Habbo,
also the best system need now and again sometimes a general overhaul....
Because of technical problems must be carried out servicing work on the barter system as well as with the tool for converting by treasury pieces of furniture.
Please, has understanding that you can convert for a short time no pieces of furniture from the treasury into taler and also the exchange is not possible temporarily.

i know he does'nt just do sulake ive seen one or two that he has done but its never on the forum for more than a day or two

and i did not say there files are infected did i? i was just stating why i was not giving out the link as the dont seem to delete files that do contain keyloggers/viruses
i have had some good prog's of there also some pretty sneaky keyloggers :)

and finally i never said nothing about michael i dont know him so i wont judge but from what i have seen is he a pretty cool and very smart guy

[ColyTom]

Why does he ban the flooder for flooding skam sites ?
Probably because he was busy writing that message.

[RyanDOT]

Is trading back?

[ColyTom]

No, it isn't back yet.

[RyanDOT]

GRRRRR.
Hope it comes back before 9.
Or tomos

[ColyTom]

In the CA and US news articles, it says that it is for the weekend so it will probably be back tommorow or maybe Tuesday because they are in different time zones.

[mlp16]

Habbo Seems pointless without trading lol.

Games And Trading Rooms are the most used floors.

[Slowpoke]

hmm - i wonder how long it's gonna be down for. i wanna know what the hell is going on behind-the-scenes!!
