How about an option in the For Sale/Trade forum for the thread starter to mark the goods sold and have it show up in the thread title?

That would be a good idea..
2nd the motion. That's an excellent idea!

The forums don't work that way. You're trying to use a discussion forum for a classifieds ad system... it doesn't work too well. :shrug:
If you want to manage ads like a real classifieds system, try using the Classified ad feature on the main site.
Well, it was a thought, anyway... I know a lot of forum software locks a post for editing after a certain period of time, so thought I'd ask if there was some other way to accomplish it.
Would it be possible for a moderator to remove the posting once it's been listed as "SOLD"?

Yup, it was too good an idea to work. :rant:
fie, Bruce
Yes, but that would place a significant workload on the mods. And we'd have to check every half hour to make sure we are in time.Quote:

Even after being sold some items still generate discussion!

However, usually a big red SOLD sign in the initial post of the thread works well!
