Lightbulb would you consider allowing wtb posters a btt?

since replies arent allowed in the want room, why not allow want posters to btt or ttt their own posts? this way, you can monitor how many times a post has been ttt'ed as well, by viewing the number of replies. just a thought.

Bob, the posts are good for 90 days then deleted. When the posts are deleted, the poster is welcome to post again. They are in order, newest to oldest. After the 90 days, can you see me going thru the posts and looking for outdated posts to delete if we allowed BTT ? I can't. They would be in no order and it would take time I don't have to spare.

You are able to track how many times your post has been viewed by looking at the right hand column.

With the way the free forum is set up, it's the best we can do.

BTT is Back To the Top

I'm guessing TTT is To The Top, although I've never seen that one before, so don't really know.

on other forums they allow this and some sellers BTT after every new post

this get's into a BTT war at times and 4-5 posters made over 100 posts in a day trying to outdo each other over $10 items each where selling

trust me , we dont need or want that , at the moment the system is fair

should we be like the lefties and make it fairer for some ?

I's love eqwalitee as i's be mo eqwal dan yoo's to quote something i read recently

I'd prepare a word document or notepad document with all the info, and copy from the document to the thread as and when needed.

You could modify the document as items get sold or as you have more stuff to add to the list.

That's where I was going. Easy enough to do.

Bob, a good chair for 90 days and then deleted. When a message is deleted, the poster are invited to post again. They are in order, newest to oldest. After 90 days, you could see me through the post and search for old messages will be deleted if we allowed the BTT? I could not. Whether in any order and it will take I do not have to sell.

You can keep track of how many times your post has been viewed by looking in the right column.

With the way the forum was released, is the best we can do.
