Cr0-Magnon Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 I can't remember, what's the reason we can't delete old ads? Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderedAsh Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 I get messages along these lines maybe once every 2 months for my old Real Sword Type 97, which I sold some 4 years ago. To be honest, it is indicative of a sub-optimal User Interface/Layout that this keeps happening. A modest redesign or better wording for the advert conditions ("This advert is Completed" isn't exactly foolproof) would rid the aforementioned fools of any ambiguity. Something like a massive red "SOLD" sticker appearing over all the pictures for the advert, maybe a popup warning before you contact the seller, striking-through all of the text in the advert, would do the job.

I have to quote this. As a non-native English speaker a "COMPLETED" advert had no meaning to me and I admit that I, too, contacted a user for an already sold RIF.

Supporters Tackle Posted November 16 Supporters Share Posted November 16 This I get, many years ago I tried to get involved with the underground Airsoft scene in Cyprus, it was all very clandestine & all Comms were via a Greek Airsoft forum, which understandably was mostly in Greek, not easy to navigate at all. Although it was only slightly harder than having an in-person conversation with your average Scotsman 😜 6 hours ago, Cocha said: I have to quote this.

RostokMcSpoons Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 (edited) On a side note (and possibly somewhat related), all the sold / completed ads remain in a user's wishlist for every and every and ever. The option to 'remove from wishlist' disappears from the ad once it's completed. Which isn't helpful, it it stayed active then I could at least clear up my wishlist manually.

Herrgh Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 How about "ENDED" instead of "COMPLETED"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
