I use the FIND THREAD > UNANSWERED THREADS option for those with no replies. Most time it's those people with hard questions needing answers.

Well, the AUCTIONS listings has now hundreds of postings and totally RUINED the feature on this site to help others.
All I see now is the AUCTIONS with no replies vs. someone needing help.

So sad.

I use timeline and unread on the app... Hundreds of auction posts all by the same.. Ruined the simple set up it used to be. Agreed, annoying.

Blocking (i.e., ignoring) the user with all the items appears to solve the problem.
I'll give it a try, thanks!

So, I'll be blocking all of the AUCTION posters. LOL

WOW OH WOW,

After blocking the user, page-1 was short, page-2 had 1 posting, then for some 30 pages . . . . I finally see yesterday's unresponded postings like normal.

WOW 30 pages that dealer used up on this site !!!

We've excluded Auction feeds from all new posts feeds, but I guess it's still showing on unanswered threads for some reason. Will see if we can sort that out soon but realistically it'll be Monday.

Technically not gone from the unanswered threads yet... just scrolled off over the weekend. But we'll work on getting the auction posts excluded from unanswered threads.
