Im not sure if anyone else has mentioned this yet, but in another forum im part of, we lock the threads in a for sale section once the item has been sold. Im only suggesting this because sometimes when im looking through older threads (even newer) in which the seller doesnt post that its sold, its merely an inconvenience to figure everything out. Just a thought.

Nice idea, but how do we know if something is sold? That's a rhetorical question. The seller would have to tell us. And if they're going to do that, the could just post in the thread.

Am I right? I, for one, do appreciate you trying to improve the site though. :cheers:

As far as trying to improve the site, anytime. I think the reasoning behind the other forum doing that was to avoid conflicts between members over a common item, but moreover to let members know that when they see the lock next to the title of the thread, that the item in there is already sold. Basically I was thinking that if they claimed it to be sold, that the thread could be locked so that say the members wouldnt have to open the thread to realize it was sold but rather see a little lock icon next to it. Im not sure if that makes more sense but either way its hard to improve upon a site thats already pretty well established. :worship:

Hmmm... yeah, I bet the lock thing would be handy. If people would report their post (by clicking this icon -->

) and tell the moderator that it's sold, I bet they would lock it for them.
