How do I? Close thread/reposting "Want to Buy"

[beestokk]

Have a Want To Buy thread open that is over 2 weeks old. Trying to abide by the rules I want to repost now that 14 days have passed. My understanding is that since 14 daya have passed since the first post I can now repost. Seems reposting is the correct course of action versus a 'bump". Do I need to formally close the first post before starting a new post?

You don’t have to close it but it would be better if you did. Bumping is disabled so you’d have to start a new thread

Great thanks. I saw your test response. If closing it is that something I do or do you and the Mod Team? If me how do I do that?

You should be able to do it by clicking the thread tools tab on top of the first post. Then uncheck the open box.

Thank you will give it a try!

Don't see "open" box under thread tools. Checked my phone and laptop - nada.

I'll just start a new thread, thanks all!

Strange...under Thread Tools you should see Edit Title, Add Poll, and then Open with a check box next to it...uncheck it to lock it.

I see all but the "Open"... Could it be membership level dependent? I'm just a registered member.

good question...i've been gold for a while so not sure, but certainly sounds like a possibility.

I my upgrade to Basic or Gold soon, so time may tell.

It is membership level dependent. Gold members and above can close their own threads.

Thanks for the confirmation!

Just a follow up on this - it seems I am now able to deselect "open" and close my own thread. Maybe a change in permissions was granted?
