What gameplay feature is this bug affecting?
Trading Center

What's the issue? Please include any error messages you receive and as much detail as possible.
When searching trades, usually the most recent trades (bumped or newly created once it adds them in) are at the top. Bumping a trade not only usually brings it to the front page of the TC, but also to the top of search which is quite helpful for older trades! However, after a certain number of bumps, trades are no longer put at the top of the search bar. I tested it a few times with older trades, and noticed it was no longer at the top of the search.

For example; for a trade with Jellyfish base lion, after a certain number of bumps, it will no longer be brought to the top of search. Before this, each bump puts it right at the top. It has been this way with base searches, in heat searches, eye color search. I have done searches separately and grouped together (ie maziwa in heat, etc)

For older trades, this makes it difficult for it to be properly re-seen as the front page of the trading center can move incredibly quickly.

Any links relating to this bug? For example, if a particular lion is bugging, what is the link to that lion?
All trades that I've had.

Any screenshots you can provide us with?
Unfortunately not. D:

Please provide us with step by step explanation how this bug happened so we can attempt to replicate it. If it's complex, please include screenshots where possible:
- Searched specific base (or in heat or eye color) in TC, noticed my trade was on another page
- Bumped and immediately refreshed search; this put the trade at the top of the search on first page
- After a certain number of bumps, it no longer moved to the top of the search and would fall of the page as more trades were made, making it more difficult for older trades to be seen

Trades are indexed at regular intervals, so bumping a trade won't always immediately put it at the top. I did observe one of your trades moving from page 2 to page 1 after a couple of minutes (after having been bumped). There is nothing in the code that says to stop updating after a certain number of bumps, so I believe it is more likely a timing issue. Depending on when you bump a trade, it may appear on the front page faster than another trade, due to when the indexing runs. This is similar to how trades, after being bought, will sometimes show "Trade no longer available" for a short time.

Do keep an eye on it though, as it shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes to move to the top (as long as other trades aren't being bumped as well). Let us know if after that time you notice a trade still doesn't move to the top!

When I posted this, I ended up cancelling and remaking, repeating this process and it repeated not bumping (remained so up to 30 minutes before cancelling again) after a few times of bumping. I'll definitely keep others up longer next time I've got them, and see if it happens again. :o I'll update this if it does?

Last bumped: 5:39 a.m. LDT - have not since been bumped to the top of in heat search when bumping (but have bumped each multiple times since). :o It's been through multiple bumps after and I've checked each time -they all continue to fall off the pages.

Edit: Odd note; it only seems to do it for in heat only search. I don’t know if they’re most recently made for those specific bases, but they’re at the top for in heat and base colors! (Or just base colors!) I haven't tested this with a hybrid in a long time so I'd need to see how that went. I seem to recall it being similar but it could be better now!
