The following link to the sticky at the top of the "Traditional Bows" forum in the classifieds section may be why there is some confusion on editing the title of your ads:

  http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=043900

I think the following statement in the above link could be causing confusion:

".....if an item has been sold, traded, or you just wish to delete it, edit your ad's title appropriately."

[Hopewell Tom]

TTT.
As per above, edit the TITLE, not a post in the thread. Just went through some items, sold, but only IN the thread, not the title.

[Gen273]

Sorry, I have been Guilty of this. I will do right from now on.

[Guru]

Just went into the classies and still see guys not marking "sold"...com'on fellas!!!!!!!!  

The thing is, it's long time TG'rs that are still guilty of this....

Curt, I sent you a PM concerning the above post.

It appears as though the above quote from the sticky in the "Traditional Bows" is saying to edit your post title as "sold, traded, or delete".

[Knawbone]

What the Hel is TTT. sorry I see it all the time but can't figure out what it means.

[Guru]

TTT  means "to the top"....something folks use to bring a thread to the top of a forum page....

all that matters is what guru is saying - mark yer ad titles to reflect that action has been taken and the item(s) up for sale or trade are no longer available.  this prevents having to open up an ad only to find the item is no longer available.  and sometimes that info doesn't appear until the last post in that ad!  

please just edit yer ad TITLES if the item(s) are no longer available.

Very simple here guys, when your item is sold or traded, please edit the title of the listing...SOLD!

Don't add a post on the end that says "SOLD", or "this item has been sold"....

Don't edit the title to "END", "ENDED, "DONE", "FINISHED", "DELETE" etc....

Just simply edit the title of the item...SOLD

Please help keep this TTT'd

Thanks guys!              

But Rob, Curt is saying above, "Don't edit the title to "END", "ENDED, "DONE", "FINISHED", "DELETE" etc....

I'm just saying that there is some confusion as to how the sticky says to edit your title as "SOLD", "DELETE", "TRADED", etc. but Curt is saying to edit it as "SOLD" only.

I'm just trying to help solve the problem by clarification by pointing out the cause of the confusion.

guru is correct.  mostly it'll be "SOLD" "SPC" "TRADED" - this tells us all the item(s) are gone and we won't bother looking at your ad.  for anything else, just leave your ad alone, don't change anything and if there are no posts within 30 days it'll get removed during a system "prune".
