I don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this but I had a couple of technical suggestions for the forums:

1) Can you exclude items that are marked as sold from the ones that get selected for the highlighted classified ads? I had assumed they were the most recent postings but it seems to be pulling them randomly and I saw an item that I marked as sold months ago come up. I would think this could be frustrating for potential buyers.

2) On others forums I've seen, mousing over the title of a post brings up the first maybe 100 characters of the post rather than just repeating the title of the post. This is done by having the title tag in the html link pull a certain amount of characters from the body of the post rather than the headline. It's really nice because often the title of the post doesn't tell you much but the first bunch of words of the post does often saves your from or encourages you to click through. Probably a very simple fix.

Hope these suggestions are helpful.

I agree on the first, and the second already happens when you're in the actual forums - just not from the main page with the last updated threads. Would be nice to have it there as well. Cheers
