Can no longer edit OP

[Dubstep Shep]

I'm having an issue with my for sale thread.

I want to go back and edit the original post and update it with some additional items as well as mark some of the other items sold, but there is no longer an edit button on the post.

Is this permanent or can the original post still be edited?

Once it reaches a certain age, the edit button goes away. I think mods can still edit it though.

So it's an automatic thing that's based on the time since the original post, not any edits or anything like that?

I'd like to be able to edit in a sold to a couple of the items, add a couple more in with pics, and maybe lower some prices.

Quote your OP in the sale ad. Go to PMs paste it there, change what you want in the ad and send me the PM and I'll post it in your OP. Send me the link for the ad too.

Can do. It'll be later tonight or tomorrow before I can actually get the pictures together though.

But any time I want to make a change I'll have to have you or another mod actually do it, correct?

Sure

Sure

Dang, okay. Thanks!

IMO if you're adding new items then you're better off posting a new thread. People typically don't go back and re-read the original post in an old thread when it pops up in the 'new posts' search. You will not get as much exposure for your added items by hiding them in an old thread.

Thanks brian, I was about to suggest that.

Good idea.

Would it be wrong of me to add in the unsold items from my old thread?

 

[BadPiggy]

Why don't you just ask a mod to clear the original post, lock the thread...and start a new one with your old shit included?

If that thread is that old, that it's that far down the list...nobody looking at it anyway.

You make a mountain out of a mole hill.
And I thought only accountants were dumbasses.........

I agree. At this point just start a new thread. I'm about to do the same with one of my old ones.
