I have a suggestion.

The site should automatically post when a forum member changes their name.

Most members won't care because they're just changing their name to something cooler or a better thought out name.

I do believe though that it will stop trolls and spammers from reincarnating themselves over and over and causing problems on the site.

There are a couple of people that have changed their names at least once after they pissed off 93% of the forum members.

Then once their reincarnated profile became a nuisance again, they simply hid their identity with a name change.

Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

I am surprised that a forum member can change their own user name.

This might not be the correct thread for this question, is the forum running the latest version of the Tapatalk plug in? If it's not the latest updating that would improve the user interface for folks who access the forum via Tapatalk.

People can not normally change their username, only under certain circumstances and with admin approval.

Tapatalk has also been updated to the latest version.

Thanks guys!

How about a reminder to people to lock their classified thread after an item is sold. Some people write in "please delete" - obviously they don't know how to lock the thread. Most, it seems, just don't lock it. I know you cannot scour every note for a "sold" post to remind them one at a time.

Maybe making something more noticeable when they first create the thread - a big, bold note showing them how to do it? Maybe there would be a way to PM anyone with an open classified ad every few weeks to remind them it's open and to close if the item sold? Not sure if that's tough to do or not. Just some ideas.

I think "For Sale" ads should be deleted after 6 months.

I also think posting pictures of what you're selling should be mandatory.

Most of the unsold stuff is because no one can see what they're buying.


*Mandatory pictures and 6 month limit on for sale ads.

I want to be able to lock the posts in the Deals and Sales section. I don't want to click on each one only to find out the sales expired.

Also add a Like button so we can like their post instead of quoting them and typing +1.

It's not there if you use the original forum layout.   From what I seen there are about 34 of us that use that layout.  Is it possible to add the "like" button to the original forum layout?  Also, what do you guys think about a "dislike" button?
