For some reason I don't get the option to change the prefix on a Classifieds thread after the item is sold.

In the Full Members Classifieds I don't even get the prefix option to start with?

When you go to the create a thread screen in either sales\swap section you should get a drop down box in the top left corner like this,

CLICK! it drops down a selection of title options,

which gives you the colourful titles to draw attention to your sales or wants threads, like this,

which you can then alter to sold once you have completed your deal,:)
 
so in the non FM areas you would go to your original sales post, CLICK edit post then select SOLD from the drop down box, the same box you selected FOR SALE from. Wonder why it isnt on in the FM bit?
 
I can edit the original post of a 'For Sale' thread in Members Classifieds (not FM classifieds or Makers Market) but I don't get the facility to change the prefix
 
I posted a sales thread, set it to for sale, left it for a minuet of two, then went back, CLICK edit post, CLICK go advanced then the prefix appears here,

Same drop down box as to set the for sale prefix.
 
okay, it seems as though you can only change the prefix within a very short time frame after submitting the thread, seems odd that it would be that way?

Especially if it takes a few weeks before the item gets sold.

I've had to log in tonight for the first time in about 12 months, weird.
 
Admin may sort it out by the by. It would certainly be useful to see which 'For Sale' threads were still valid.

Thanks for your help Southey. :)
