**No longer should you be changing your title to DELETE or removing any content from the add after it has sold. PLEASE PLEASE just change the thread prefix to “SOLD:” in the advanced edit window. It will make things even easier for everyone!!** ---

Speaking of which, the sold prefix should be black. No sense drawing peoples attention to something that is no longer available. ---

> [@AngryHero](#): > > Colors are stupid.If you cant understand what FS or WTB stand for then stop using the internet. The colors are temporary. And they will stay spelled out. FS and WTB make sense to everyone who has seen it for years but not to new members or those who may not understand the automotive forum concept, but that we’re looking to attract. It’s only a few characters longer anyway. ---

You can’t see the prefix on the threads when using SkinLite Blue or the Aerohead Fluid forum style. I was wondering for a while why nothing seemed to change for me after this announcement. ---

The classifieds have been a large part of this forums traffic for bout 3 yrs now… its just now you can see it in technicolor. :lol: Removing them from New Posts has been discussed at least 2x before IIRC, and the consensus was that (at the time) people liked them cropping up in the new post search as it leads to impulse buys / sales - for example “Oh hey a WTB for a Muffler Bearing, sweet, I happen to have a few laying around!” And… afterall, the classifieds _does_ drive traffic to the site; type of traffic not withstanding. ---
