    Code: TRADE SIGN ERROR/BUG
    Minecraft Username: PAT2100

    Brief Description: ON DECEMBER 14 AT 3AM EST. I HAD JUST MADE 100K, I WENT BACK TO MY TOWN TO PLACE IT IN A SIGN; I HAD 3 SIGNS THE MIDDLE ONE HAD 1MILLION DOLLARS AND THE LOWER ONE HAD 900 K DOLLARS, SO I BROKE THE LOWER ONE AND THE MIDDLE ONE. I WENT TO CREATE A 2 MILLION DOLLAR SIGN WITH THE 1.9 MILLION FROM THE SIGN AND THE 100K I JUST HAD MADE. I COULDN'T I ONLY HAD 1.1 MILLION DOLLARS INSTEAD OF 2 MILLION IN MY BALANCE. I PM'D STRONGPELT 3 TIMES, THAN I PMED FROSTY. FROSTY CAME TO ME TOWN AND ASKED ME TO FILL OUT THIS FORM.

    Instructions: BROKE SIGN DID NOT RECIEVE MY DOLLARS FROM SIGN

    How many times did you recreate this bug?: JUST THE ONCE

    Result: I LOST 900K. I SHOULD HAVE A TOTAL OF 7MILLION IN CASH AND I ONLY HAVE 6.1 MILLION.

    Expected Result: NOT TO HAVE LOST 900000

    Evidence: MY SIGNS AND MY BALANCE

    Apologies, I think this was when i was recording a bug.

    On another note, putting things in all caps is actually a bit hard to read.

    What town did this accure in?
    Also to help move this along and to make it easier to duplicate, How exactly was your sign setup?

    I will not be looking into this, nor assisting with it.
    Money should never be stored in trade signs as has been mentioned an enormous amount of times in the past.

    Including here: https://ecocitycraft.com/wiki/index...e_/_Using_Trade_Signs#Tutorial:_Storing_Money

    Storing money in trade signs is 100% at your own risk. If you lost money, I'm sorry for your loss.
    Use the forum bank which is 100% supported and the safest option.

    Furthermore, this has been in our Resident application as a required action prior to applying for Resident:
    https://www.ecocitycraft.com/wiki/index.php?title=Applications_(Builders+)&oldid=1966

    To prevent anyone saying it was never there, the revision history can be found through the above link:
    Revision as of 19:05, 17 April 2012

    It has been there for 5 years. I will never provide assistance for ECD inside trade signs.

    Alright, to satisfy my OWN curiosity I did an extensive background check on your entire server transactions.

    You are incorrect.

    The middle one had 100,000 EcoDollars.
    The lower one did indeed have 900,000 EcoDollars.

    Background analysis:

    Code:
    ##Report start at $101,598
    ##Report excludes co-ordinates to protect user location privacy.

    ## User logged out from the server.
    Final balance: $2,878
    Sign at Y:84 has $1,000,000
    Sign at Y:83 has $100,000
    
    User succesfully stored $1,100,000 EcoDollars which are still in signs.
    Conclusion:



    Trade signs are fine, however my advice stands and always will stand.
    DO NOT STORE ECODOLLARS IN TRADE SIGNS - IT IS TERRIBLE PRACTICE!
