I'm not 100% sure what you're doing but there are two things going on. When you update your trade list that's updating your page -which is one thing... If you want to trade then do the second thing and create a post on either the seed or plant exchange saying what you want. People who have it can then check your page (a link will show by your name) and see if you have anything on your list that they're interested in trading for.
Does that help?

the site is not allowing me to post or reply to post on that forum. when I click on post a new message it loops me down to the seed exchange instruction page, it will not allow me to even click on the reply button.

same im having the same problem
