theres only a certain period of time in which you can delete. i forget how long though. couple of days maybe. reason was because of people deleting posts, and threads then not making much sense to anyone search for info a few months later. same reason you can't edit posts after a few days
I just thought it would clean the site up a bit

That was a long time ago
it just seems daft to leave stuff on that means nothing like bits for sale after they have been sold
Its unfortunately not that simple.
What if you have something for sale with some pictures, sell it, someone else posts a link saying "i'd like one of these" or "how
do you install one of these" etc and links to your post.
You then delete your post and we've got a potentially useful thread for future reference ruined as we've no idea what the thing looks like
etc.
Maintaining referential integrity is a complete ball ache to code, not allowing deletes is a simple solution. If Chris is happy with the size of the
database then lets not worry about it.
OK i will delete this thread now 
Only joking 
Can't you just use the edit function to add "now sold" to the title or add a new reply to say the same?

the edit function disappears after a few days on any post
Wish I could delete some speed limit signs
Or alternatively, just put a > sign in front

been working today down a road which is begging a thrashing but is usually cluttered with people driving slowly. And to make it worse, ive got a timid passenger who doesnt like any overtaking even when theres a mile straight to do it on!
