Forum Suggestions?

so….Giles, and mods
on the "buying and selling" postings , i like having all the sold items always listed because;
1. provides historical pricing and pics, great research
2. shows a vibrant secondary market
so in light of that, how about when an item is sold or a listing is finished , have the original postee go back and modify the listing title to include " (SOLD) " at the end of the listing. mods can check up on postings to easily maintain the buy/see forum easily as well.
just thinking aloud.

this is way to time consuming..
I would appreciate if once an item has changed hands the seller posts SOLD and the buyer posts RECEIVED - and than we just lock the thread…
We can do anything

Shoque and I have been doing this. It works perfectly. If anyone has any questions about a SOLD item, they can just PM they buyer and or seller.

Can new members or members who are not new but are new to posting please do their research through the forum before starting new threads that already exist? There is a search function for a reason. Also, it is always good to check out your surroundings before blindly posting things. Also, please read the Forum Member Guidelines: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=announcement;aid=1

If possible, it may be a good idea to have a "MUST-READ-OR-ELSE" type link listed at the top of the Index/Main Forum Page. It could contain vital information and guidelines on all the boards (Products, B&S, etc.). Obviously new folks will have to read it voluntarily, but the more visible it is the more likely it is that members might at least give a look through.
Being on the Forum Index page, would also make it easier IMO to reference the guidelines, as I'm sure other members besides myself do on occasion. Just some thoughts, as I know fora etiquette seems to need perennial attention and I likes me fora clutter free.

Lando and that_was_easy, you both have valid points, but in my experience, there's little you can do about this.
People who don't read the rules or haphazardly post won't read the rules before posting no matter what kind of crazy font you put it in, and using the goddamn search button is a real challenge to some people for a reason that is beyond my level of comprehension
I don't know if it's the internet that has bred this type of member, but seriously, people just need to do a nominal amount of reading before they go rip shit on a forum…don't know why it's such a big deal...

I think there should be a .gif of giles dancing on the front page of the forum; it would be the revelation to top all other revelations! Hehehe, nah, but in all seriousness, 2 things:
- People need to fncking read threads and do their research about whatever is intresting them, no 10 year olding
And 2) Mods and Pimp Master Padmore are doing a great job.

Is it possible when a moderator moves a thread t the correct are if they could DELETE the original post instead of just locking it? There really is no reason to keep it up in the wrong area "Locked." It only takes up space and looks unorganized. Just my two pennies…

Edit: FIXED.
