I've noticed that since the Trading Center currently sorts with the oldest trades first, the results list is often clogged with old trades by players who haven't logged in for a year or more. This makes it difficult to find trades by active players and means that newer results are pushed off the bottom and not seen.

I propose the following:

- trades without an autobuy in place are set to expire regardless of whether the user is logged in or not. I imagine this will require some (long overdue) re-coding of the TC which may or may not already be in development, but I think it's important for the economy's survival.
- if a trade expires while the user is inactive, lions are taken out of the TC and returned to the user or, if the user does not have enough space, "chased" as any lion is if there is no space (i.e. with an option to get them back once the user logs in).

ALTERNATIVELY I believe it would be good just to have a "flag this trade as inactive" button which hides the trade from the TC and/or sends a flag to the mods for deletion.

I think this would help the economy as it would make it easier for users to find the lions they want and for users to sell the lions they have, while we are waiting for a larger overhaul of the TC/search functions currently in place.
