Sorting Classifieds listings! Thanks to AeroSheldon!!

[Bartman]

I didn't know this until about forty eight seconds ago but @AEROSHELDON shared it in another thread so here it is for mass distribution

If you go to the classifieds and click on the bubble (technically it's called a Prefix in the software) just left of the thread title (For Sale, SOLD, Wife Says Sell it!, etc.)...the threads will automatically sort and show only the threads that have that bubble!

If you want to see the threads that are "For Sale", click a For Sale bubble and....Bazinga!!, all of the For Sale threads in that sub-forum will display.

Thanks to AeroSheldon for discovering that and for sharing it with us!!

Shoot, I thought everybody knew that.

 

[Bartman]

i don't know, maybe we knew that and I just forgot, that's entirely possible

Bazinga!

ok have a question how does a user delete an add after it is sold or whatever I guess what I am saying is if it is sold remove the add......

 

[AEROSHELDON]

Bartman might have a better plan but I just change it to SOLD

you can close the ad and change the thread-prefix to SOLD

i'm researching a better classifieds system but you'd be surprised at how few options there are. even on V-bulletin there is one option but they force you to charge a fee per ad. if i had a multi-million dollar software company and a team of developers I could probably design a solution (but even then it might not be that good as we've seen )

Seems like alot of wasted space and time going through the ad's is all just don't see why that option is not in the software is all.
