    Is it possible to delete my old ads, from say 2 years ago? Nothing more annoying than seeing old ads from way back when popping back to the top, with new recent ads. I would like to remove my old ads to prevent this, any help would be much appreciated!
    Just a suggestion, what about automatically deleting/removing old classified ads after a certain period of time, say a year, members can always repost new/updated ads.
    Currently we can only edit/remove/update our ads for a certain period of time. I think this would help prevent having old ads pop up with the more recent new ones. Or maybe place a note within the classifieds suggesting to PM the member for any older posts, this may help too.

    No it is not possible. Currently for classifieds you have 15 days to edit or delete your posts. Supporting members have 45 days.

    The threads are not locked so you can always add a post to adjust price or change the status of an item if it is sold or no longer available.

    :cheers:

    Can the threads be locked at the request of the OP?

    99% of the time, things run just fine the way they are. But if there is a problem you can always PM me or Stefan and we can look at it.
