Any way to edit postings to the classifieds

holli4pirating · 07-21-2008, 02:20 AM

I posted a razor, and as I so often do, I'd like to drop the price. But I didn't see any way to change the price shown on the main page. My next thought was to delete the ad and relist with a lower price, but I didn't see any option for that. So I thought, ok, I'll drop the price just like on the B/S/T by posting in the ad. But, even after I posted, there was no way to tell that I had posted by looking at the main page, so I doubt anyone would take another look.

Am I missing something. Is there a way to edit ads? Can they be removed? Does it actually show up somewhere that I posted within the ad?

I don't know, but David will probably chime in later today. If not I will PM him.

Yea, I PMed him earlier today, but I thought I'd post since I didn't hear back.

I heard back from David; here's the answer:

holli4pirating, when i read the thread title, i thought you were referring to user comments posted to ads. I haven't noticed a way to edit those

Yea, I just noticed that as well.

It also seems that the "profile" I get brought to if I click a user's name in the classifieds is not the same as their SRP profile, and there seems to be a different PM system as well. So I copy the name from the classifieds, go to SRP, advanced search for posts by the user, go to the user's main profile, and PM from there.

Any info on those topics would be appreciated as well.

While I'm asking so many questions, here's another one. Since "threads" are no longer "bumped up" when a post is made, will the sold items be moved to a separate area? Perhaps some sort of an archive of sold items (lumped together or sorted by category)?

You can edit the price. At the bottom of your add there are some small icons. One of these is the edit ad icon. On the edit page there is a delete box you can check if you want to start all over.

Thanks Ken, David had PMed me about that. The other questions remain unanswered though.

You might try adding a phrase to the title
