Plug ins and modifications for the forum suggestion

[mildcustom2]

Please note I also mention an option of a thread prefix plug in that makes sure people use the correct prefix for the thread. When they items are sold at the bare minimum they can edit the thread prefix to " SOLD " in bold red. This way people don't have to waste time reading an entire thread to find out if items are sold or not.

It's simple organization to make it easier to navigate and cater to everyone's needs.

Yeah that's a good idea. Currently it's up to the author of the thread to provide a prefix and update the thread with a sale or not. Mods do check the forums to ensure the buy and sell ads are somewhat following the rules.

I can't see any plug ins being added to the current version of Canreef, but it could be a possibility for the next. I'll talk to the boss. Thanks for the input!

Would it not be a good idea for the seller of the item to just post a reply to the thread "Sold...to the fine reefer Joe XXX". Everyone then knows it has been sold and that there is some transaction history between these two reefers

Well yes, but the complaint is the OP doesnt update the thread and shoppers need to read the whole thing just to find out somethings sold. First world problems I guess.

Possibly another suggestion is the itrader plug in but not sure if it works on this version of vbulletin. It allows people to give positive, neutral or negative feedback on experiences. Helps prevent people dealing with bad people.

That is also a very good suggestion!

Here's what I setup as the thread prefixes in a buy/sell forum for the forum I run. The bold colours really help identify what people are offering.

This would be great

The problem is, they didn't come back to post Sold, they aren't coming back to choose a Sold pre-fix. Just the way it is. Not sure, PM the poster.

As for reviews, I can say I've had 3 reports of bad transactions in 15 years. I've had more issues with erroneous review posts made by people over misunderstandings. So, kinda hard to pick the poison there
