Question on Sold vs unsold in classifieds

[gregkl]

If it's sold, do I want the WTS icon to be red or blue?

Also, is this the best way to scan my ads to make sure I am marking them sold and locked?

And is there a way to bring all my classifieds together on a page vs looking for them in between my other activity?

Thanks.

Edit: read the next five posts for all of the info. I was adding stuff live as I tried it.

to find all of your threads created in the classifieds:

Click on Search in the top right of the page (has the magnifying glass icon)

At the top of the form select "Search Threads"

Do not enter any keywords

Put your user name in the "Posted By:" field

Scroll down to the "Search in forums:" box

Select The Classifieds main forum and make sure that "Search sub-forums as well" is checked.

Check the box for display results as threads.

Hit the search button at the bottom of the form.

See attached pics.

I suggest that you use a browser that allows you to open the links found in a new tab (I use Firefox). This way the page with all of t your threads will be there until you're done with it.

The new software has an option to mark your item as sold by checking a control at the top of the thread. After you click on this control the WTS, WTT, etc. changes to red.

You can reload your search after you change your threads status and you will see the icons change to match.

Setting the ad as sold does not automatically lock the thread and the locked/unocked status does not show up in the search findings, so you have to navigate to your thread to see if it is locked.

One more thing, you can bookmark your search results page and the forum will remember it. I do not know if this will quit working after a set time or not, but it will work at least short term so you do not have to re-enter your search parameters again.

I'm a bit dense, what's the point of your post? (and I'm not being a smart-a**)

Is this in the wrong place? (could be)

Are you recommending it to be a sticky?

Thanks. I went back to older threads from years ago and marked them "red".

Glad I explained that clear enough. Your question got me wondering, because I didn't realize what the red/green coloring meant. Now I do.

Ok, I see that I was wrong about this and want to correct myself.

The change of icon was happening on one of my old (pre upgrade) classifieds. I would guess that the icon changed when I edited the old ad updating it to the new format. As far as I can tell all WTS ads start with a RED WTS icon. I apologize for the misinformation.
