Marketplace Improvements

Today I've implemented two long-requested features for the Marketplace (and broken about 4 thousand thread titles in the process)!

1. Thread closure for For-Sale threads
Ever wanted to delete a thread without marking it as sold? Now you can do so by selecting "Request Thread Closure" from the thread tools dropdown. This will move the thread to the 'expired' forum, in which your thread will be hidden.

See the attached screenshot for details.

2. 'Expired' forum
All threads with no activity (posts) for 90 days will now automatically be moved into this section. When manually closing a 'wanted' thread, it will also be moved to the 'Expired' section.

Other remarks:
-hiding permissions for the 'expired' forum aren't decided yet, but I'm planning to only let users see their own threads.
-all threads currently in the 'expired' forum have a thread title of 'expired'. All the expired titles will be restored, although this may take a while.
-all current threads in the 'expired' forum were moved based on first post date, and not last post date. Therefore, active threads may have been moved in error. Please contact me if you need any thread moved back to the F-S or wanted section.

It's a sub-forum of "Wanted", for now.

It's a sub-forum of the Marketplace, as it's always been.

I am closing this thread as it's about to be superceeded by a more current announcement (we've been hard at work on more Marketplace improvements!).
