1. On a FS thread, could add Sold to the end of the thread name, and people wouldn't have to open it, just to find out that the item(s) are sold.

2. Some FS threads might change over time. Eg., the thread name might originally incl several items, some of which might be sold or not available later. Would then not be necessary to start a new thread, or have multiple FS threads to start, which just clutter up the forum.

3. Some topics change with time, and a name change could better reflect the current postings, again, without having to start a new thread. It is still nice to retain the original posts, to see where the thread has gone.

Totally agree with this Walter, I have asked for this as well and seems to make a lot of sense to streamline the forum more. I like the idea and also would like to see a persons location when a thread is written without having to open it to find out.
I must say that Canreef is very well run/moderated and enjoy it a lot, keep up the good work.

YES!! This would be so handy. In the past couple of weeks I've had a half a dozen or so people PM me asking for frags from a for sale thread that I posted months ago that clearly stated that ALL ITEMS WERE SOLD!

I think the buy/sell thread should be the only ones that should be able to be edited. There's some posts in the lounge that have been edited in the past with guys back peddling on things they've said after being called out on something. Specifically the Random Thoughts Thread. I've asked for it to be removed from Canreef with no luck. I just don't read the garbage thread anymore, it's just that easy. Other than that there's nothing really needed for the site. It's good.

What about a live chat room?

This would be interesting. It would probably get off topic fast...but interesting none the less.

We had that for a while. It went off track in about 5 minutes and got forgotten in a couple weeks

The thing with that, and a pet peeve of mine, is that people remove items as they're sold, or adjust pricing in place, etc. I really like to have a historical database of what sold for how much. It's a good reference when buying or selling. I don't think we can just allow titles without body content getting edited, and regardless of us asking people not to remove things, they still do.

I miss the buy sell on the front page the 3 extra clicks kills me.
