Eh? Just me?

2) Is there a way to leave feedback for trades for items listed in the Official Thrifter's Trading Thread?

Thanks.

For #2, can you use the generic URL for the Official Thrifter's Trading Thread?

Click on the "Edit Details" next to where you see "Close Listing" when you open the add you just made and at the bottom should be an area to add pictures. There is no option if you are click the "edit listing" icon at the bottom of the page, but use the Edit Details button instead and you will be all set.

I'm not sure about 1, I will ask.

2, because of the way it is designed, only the thread/classified originator can be involved in the feedback for a thread. I guess if you wanted to, you could set up a classified for the item, for trade, close it, and have the "buyer" leave feedback. Other than that or an old fashioned feedback thread, I don't think there is a way.

That did the trick. Thanks Brian.

Can we maybe condense that into the main edit option (the pencil) as well? That's a bit confusing.

That is confusing, thanks for the tip Brian. I couldn't see how to do it either. It's extra confusing for me because there are mod tool links in there too. I will see if that can be made more obvious somehow, or at least add it to the B&S FAQ when we get that going.

No problem, it actually somewhat makes sense if you think about it. I'm guessing it is done this way, as "edit details" only relates to B&S posts where you have a preview picture. In all the regular forums you do not have the "edit details" link to click on as there no price, picture, etc to edit. In a regular forum post, you only have the "edit thread" (pencil) on the bottom which does not need to include the picture preview to edit as there is none (hope that made sense).

This also kind of relates to the other point that was brought up in regard to the toolbars being different, see post #22 in this thread. That to me is a more pressing concern and seem easily fixable by just having all the icons show up all the time.

On a side note, one HUGE improvement would be the simple ability to right click on "red underlined" words that are misspelled and chose the correct spelling from a list like in Microsoft word. I'm sure this is not something easy (or feasible) to incorporate, but would me awesome! I'm a bad speller and its just extra time consuming to use the "ABC" spell check button.

 Click on your thread, then hit "edit details" at the top. In the right column, under the ads and your links to your other classifieds, there is a line that says "Tags: Add/Remove".

Or without going into "edit details", just open a thread you created and on the right side you till see Tags "add/remove". The only issue I have found is that when I add Tags, it changes my "will ship to" locations to include some of the tags, see screenshot below as I am not shipping to "Hickey-Freeman-sportcoat"

No. See post #29 above.
