Forum Suggestions?

@Giles:

Unless I am being really foolish, I think it does.  If you use the search function which is at the top of a page when viewing a thread, it just searches the thread.  G

Got it. Thanks G.

and see PM

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.

That was me being an android klutz, unlocked now.

[shoque]

So I think that Bumping threads needs to be addressed now that it has begun happening. IMO I don't think that bumping a thread is a good thing on such a small forum unless there is a price drop. Maybe this could become a rule and then once the forum gets large enough the issue is addressed at that time???

[hectic]

You're referring to sales ads thread bumping I guess?

[LandoCal126 0]

Correct.

[hectic]

Its not a particularly rife practice at present. Granted, if it became so prevalent that it was swamping other thread presence then it may require a review. IMO.

So basically all I have to do is start bumping my sale threads once a day and that will be considered swamping and then it will be addressed?

I'm working on the basis that we're adults and don't want to clutter this place up with shit.  But then I do have this utopian view of life…G

Hell yeah, if everything would be that easy. Maybe there´s also a difference like the one guy having 1 thread in total and pushing this every few days or the other guy having 7 threads and pushing them every few days.

This isn't SuFu - 3 pages max and you're done. Stop bumping.

I concur with the idealist at the head of the table: No one is a douche here, ergo: reasonable and good people will use this facility accordingly.

I raise the subject again. Please read and catch the drift…

@shoque:

Locking the thread is a good idea though, I will discuss it with Giles and the other mods today.

@Beatle:

I agree…sale threads need to stay for a lot of reasons...

@LandoCal126:

Can we all agree that the Author of their particular FOR SALE Thread locks it as soon as an item is SOLD? I think Beats said something about this a while back, but I just wanted to reiterate that is is much easier to look through the Buying & Selling Area if this happens. Thanks All!

@Beatle:

yeah..I would suggest that once an item has been sold and the buyer received it (would be nice if he left a little feedback like item received, thanks) the thread gets locked…

@LandoCal126:

I completely agree with the feedback! Great idea.

@Beatle:

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…

@LandoCal126:

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.

Really?!??!! Nothing…
