    Hello. I have encounted the issue of not being able to edit or delete a thread after 90 or 120 days. I have used multiple devices and browsers, but nothing seems to work. I do not want to pester admin constantly with requesting a thread be deleted. Is there a way to alter whatever setting there is that creates this restriction? Thanks!

    Every post (and private message) has a report button. Use the button and put in the message window what you need.

    I believe when the site software changed, all of the old post became uneditable by the original poster. It's not a big issue because most posts, in general, do not need to be delete. If it's an ad, marking it as sold or no longer for sale would suffice.

    It's an intentional setting to prevent folks from editing old posts. Premium users have a longer window.

    The problem is that old accounts can get hacked, and then scammers go and edit the old posts to get links posted on the forums.

    The site staff, as mentioned above, are happy to edit or delete any post for y'all :)
