fyi- Classified Ads migration in progress

[jmcd]

I just sold an item, and I think the new system is working much better.

I like to leave the ad up until the buyer receives the item. In this case, as a seller I would like to be able to edit the title bar to reflect SOLD, or STILL FOR SALE. This I think would help shoppers and window shoppers—who could tell at the glance of the bumped title bar the status of the item.

How do I lock the ad?

The "Thread Tools" menu item (near top right of the thread) should give you options to edit the thread (to edit the title) and lock the thread. If not let me know. More work needs do be done on the new classifieds but my coder is delayed till next week.

Thanks,
Sean

Under "Thread Tools," the command "Close Thread" will lock it. I thought "close it" and "lock it" might differ.

I didn't yet figure out how to edit the title.

 

[Sean]

click "edit" then click "go advanced", that should do it. I'll get some instructions up for that..

On one thread, Voigtlander, I have about three posts, but at this time I am only able to edit the last one posted. Editing seems to be limited to a time frame.

 

[Sean]

ok, it looks like the full edit rights I gave get negated by the overall system settings to have a time frame. Will see if I can find a work around. Thanks for the info

I set the ad to be closed because I thought it would be better to communicate one on one, one at a time. However, now that the item is sold, I cannot mark it as such. I guess it doesn't matter but it means answering each PM if anyone else is interested and wants to buy.

Any way for me to make it sold?

Thanks

It would be handy if one could search the buy/sell ads by location as well as time posted.

Thread fixed, Wayne. A couple of the moderators are on the road at the moment, so it may take a little longer to get to all the post reports and requests for a few days.

Thank you for attending to that little nightmare.
