Why am I seeing this?

[schardein]

I got a notification on a topic in the "wanted" section, that someone had quoted me.  Click to go there, get this.  Does this mean the topic was deleted?

[Pete M]

which topic was it?

[schardein]

It was a wanted ad for a 120mph speedometer.  I don't see it now.

From what I remember before not finding it again was that he hid it. I thought it was the 120 one.

OK.  I didn't know you could hide a post, but I see the option in the right side drop down. 

[eaglescout526]

Lol yeah you could hide this one right now and no one would know.

Thanks gents.  I contacted the "quoter" by msg, and he replied that he sold a part to the poster, so topic was probably deleted.

It's been a bit of a rough week for my poor brain, but I vaguely remember reading that he found one and so I would have hid it.  it shouldn't be deleted, but I cannot find it.    so either I accidentally clicked the wrong tab, or something else has occurred.   

 

but since you were able to make contact, I guess all's well that ends well. 

[schardein]

Yeah all good, thanks guys.  I saw I had been quoted and didn't want to appear rude by not reading/replying.

I also really like this idea. It’s hard to dig through parts and find what your looking for especially when the titles aren’t descriptive. @Pete M What about auto-archiving the threads after a certain period of time with no activity? That way either the seller needs to “bump” the thread to keep it alive or eventually it just goes away and only relevant posts remain

I am unaware of how to make that happen in an automated way.    honestly if it's past the first 2 pages, I don't pay attention to it at all.
