I have a similar problem ALSO with a classifieds section on a forum....

I was daydreaming that it might be fair for the original poster to be able to RESPOND to a posted question on the thread - but not bump it themselves. If no one asks about it - it drifts off the page...

HOW-EVER!!! - That would be open to abuse by people creating bogus identities just to ask "questions" - to keep their own sale items on top...It would be a pain to keep track of bogus registrations...

Hmmmmmm...

Perhaps idea that HondaATC started with is the best... they CAN answer questions - but as time passses and more items come up for sale the thread floats downwards...

Seems like this would make for a more orderly classsifieds? One that could be studied, and look interesting over a year or so.. tracking who was selling what and when..

.. it could help display sales 'trends' - over time...

Interesting...

Any further thoughts??

What to do about SOLD items?

Is there an idea for that too?

ANY VB3 hacks for all this?

Thanks in advance...
