    Is it possible to close those trade threads where items have been sold? Its little annoying to go through threads/post and then find sale is already over

    May be person who is opening the Trade thread can be given rights to close the thread

    Just a suggestion :)

    No, sorry... there are just too many to try and read through every post to do it.

    Genuine Suggestion. Members should make a request to Mods to close the thread on completion of Sales. It is difficult task to Mods to keep track of all sales that are going on forums. Granting Authorisation to members for closing a thread may not be possible (I hope).

    Yes, that is what I do.
    Click on the triangle and ask to have it closed.
    Sure does eliminate those posters who do not understand the word "SOLD" or "No longer offered" etc.

    Every seller should do this as a course of business.

    Can members have the ability to close their threads in B/S/T?

    It's a waste of time for mods/admins to be requested to do such, and if it is just closing it, and not deleting there shouldn't be any problems. I know it was already requested to have all threads closed when sales end, but this way it is up to the buyer to decide if they want to close it or not, while preventing members from posting in closed sale threads and contests.

    I think users should be allowed to use the forum's search function.

    Thanks Rob.

    I did, all the responses weren't related to users being able to close their threads on their own, and there was no response to this suggestion, just to other suggestions.

    Isn't related to my suggestion.
