I think when the OP edits the first post of a thread, the thread gets bumped in the process.
That’s bad – for instance, I edited a sale thread to reflect the fact that the item is sold, and now it’s on the top of the ‘recent’ list.
Yep.

It’s handy for that reason too, but you make a sound point … mods can close or even hide a thread if you wish so it will sorta vanish from view
Yes, I can see some utility in this behavior, that’s true. If it’s intended, that’s cool.
some flag the post for this end fwiw … I hid yours, although I can still see it - and possibly yourself - others will not be able to browse it, but links to it will work
Doing so is also a trigger for the moderators to close the topic; we don’t always have the time to look back at old topics to see whether they should be closed.
So every time I edit my For Sale post, it’s going to bump it? Is there a way to make it not get bumped?
I tend to change my Trades Interested In list fairly often, plus would like to keep my post up to date on what items have sold, as I wish everyone would. But, getting it bumped to the top doesn’t feel right, as I’m usually a once a week kind of bumper.
yes, but only by a moderator/admin and it probably wouldn’t be high on our wishlist of things to have a request to action - i believe the unbumping sets the post back to the op date so it’s going the other way as far as you’re concerned - there’s no perfect solution, maybe edit your post a little less to offset your worries, but i don’t think anyone will be pointing fingers, it’s effectively a new listing if you change the wants
It may still be the case (it was in the past) that you are only allowed 32 edits to a post, and you have 7 already on your latest post.
I would advise simply updating less frequently.
I understand. I’m just going to change Trades List to a more “Whatcha Got?” approach, and only update weekly with what’s been sold, I guess. Thanks for the input.
