    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello,

How do I edit my posting to indicate that the tortoise has sold? The edit icon allows me to change the content of the posting but I am unable to indicate in the title of the posted ad "SOLD"..

Thank you!
 
If you leave the ad, but change it to "sold", this can help you sell other animals. "Sold" let's others know you are actually doing business. My 2 cents.
In the edit feature, you can select "go advanced", this should allow you to access the title and change it.

This is very true. I just know how many ads that get brought back from the grave because they were not deleted. I guess you could change the heading to "sold" and lock the ad. I've only marked my ads sold maybe a handful of times but then I go an delete them a day later. I do not feel it has had a negative impact on my sells to delete them, but it may. Maybe I'll have to give it a try next time, thanks Robert.
 
The original question was answered by Robert; but I'll chime in on the secondary topic.

I was always a proponent of leaving a few SOLD ads up because they would be picked up in searches, and people would inquire about what I had available. That said, I never left more than a handful at a time...and I always closed my ads; so there was never a worry about somebody dragging it up months later.
