what about this, other forums are starting to do this....
QUOTE No Deleting or Editing in For Sale Forums. The Edit and Thread Deletion options have been turned off in the For Sale Forums as too many members of our site were being victimized by fraudulent sellers. By disabling these features, users can no longer post an item for sale, and then delete a thread when they've received payment, leaving the purchaser with no valid point of contact, or claim in court. what are your thoughts.... QUOTE You cannot edit your thread if you do so. Therefore, get it right the first time. If you posted incorrect information or similar, simply reply to your own thread, with the correct information so buyers are aware.

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

I've thought about this before. The only problem I see is that if someone is listing a bunch of stuff for sale, they can't edit their easy-to-reference list on the first post of what's sold and what's not. Potential buyers will have to sift through potentially lots of posts to find out if stuff is for sale.
What's everyone else think about this? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

IMO it would be one less potential way for members to get scammed, which is a good thing, even if it means scrolling thru more posts. is there a way to allow members to still edit just the 2nd line in the title of a thread, so that they could do somthing like: FS: blah blah blah :update page 3:: <~~being able to only edit this line? that could be a way of getting the best of both worlds. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
