The prefix idea has some merit but...

a) the link to forum rules is annoying and a little too much and

b) confusing as all hell as part of the title says I have read the link and part doesn't. (As previously mentioned)

A better idea for a prefix would be to add a city which is mandatory. Now that would be useful.

I never did agree with a limitation on what I can sell out of my fish tank. It helps keep the bills down at least until the inevitable crash which makes me have to buy everything again.

Seems like an ok idea in theory as a way to sort out sales posts but since it gives the option of "no prefix" it seems kinda pointless as I'm sure most people will choose that option out of convenience.

If these changes reeeeally bother a person that much they are probably breaking the rules to begin with ooooooor he feel the need to instruct everyone to hold hands to cross the street just so he can take them back across to the other side again. This crappy hotel must have me grumpy, well a three hour drive to the next, hopefully it's better.

No accounts will be harmed in the voicing of opinions on this :)

I totally agree, I quit using it to sell because everything is mixed together. Also not being able to edit to keep your thread up to date or remove your thread after you sell is a PITA.

It was a lot cleaner (and easier to buy AND list) when I could just strikethrough or update the first post with "sold". Instead, now I have to skim through a few pages of conversation/bumps on a listing with multiple items just to see if one of the pieces is still available. Before I could skip the listing entirely if the title was just updated to "SOLD". :) I definitely don't browse through much anymore, maybe that's the intention.

Based on that, it was probably you that caused the edit to be removed :) We asked a billion times for people to not change or remove the posts, but you kept doing it. We would have left it if people just marked items sold, but stuff got removed, changed or deleted altogether. So, no more edit. On a positive note, most people have adapted to not editing.
But, we digress, this thread is about the prefix "feature"...carry on :razz:

Ummm, thats a bit overstated. :lol:

Ahhh, that is what has happened. I noticed this, and wondering WTH. I personally don't like it either.
