Deleting ads in The New Classifieds section

[Jeanne]

Are we going to be able to delete our own ads in the classifieds section? I just tried and can't delete it.

You should be able to click on Edit, then delete the post. I just tried it with one of mine and it worked. Basically, users can delete their own posts but not entire threads.

 

[KelliH]

OK, I just changed permissions for registered users and they can delete threads now as well. I hope it doesn't come back and bite me in the butt.

 

[Jeanne]

Something happened, I can't edit posts ini the classifieds section either now....lol

 

[KelliH]

Ok, I know what the deal is, there is a time limit on editing/deleting posts boardwide. I guess for now rather than deleting classifieds just make a post in the thread and say the animal or item is now sold.

 

[Jeanne]

Ok

 

[Jeanne]

Just wanted to check to see if it is possible for us to delete our ads yet?

Doesn't look like it (at least for me)

 

[Jeanne]

Me either, but I would really like to be able to delete them, especially when I changed my mind and don't want to sell one of them after all

Jeanne-

We don't allow post deletion in the classifieds, basically if we allow it in that section we have to allow it in all the other forums as well. I would prefer if you just edit the title of the ad and type "SOLD". If you still want me to delete it completely, just send me a pm with the link to the ad and I can do that for you. Thanks!

Editing the title to "Sold" would work great, but I can only edit ad titles in some of them, weird, I know. I just tried, I can edit the title in my "Female Patternless" ad, but no the Mack Snow ad.

I will send you a PM for the ad I want deleted.

Sorry for being a pain

I believe there is a time limit set on editing, that's why some you can edit and some you can not.

 

[Milwaukee Reptiles]

I thought it was set at a week... maybe not though.

 

[Jeanne]

Definately less than a week, because I can't edit ads I placed on Sunday

Jeanne,

I would also be happy to help you out if you need an ad deleted.
Just shoot me a PM.
