Hi I posted a for sale thread under 40k and a user asked me a question and I replied back and I guess I can't do that...?? Do I just have to pm people if they ask questions on my for sale thread? How can I get my thread unlocked?
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=239068
Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Your reply was "Shoot me a PM." That's wholly unnecessary in a trade ad. In the posted rules (which you read before posting your first ad. Right? Right?), it explicitly states what is allowed as a response to your own ads.
When a thread is bumped in violation of the rules, it stays locked.

Yep. It is important to read and follow the rules before posting an ad.

You can edit the ad and put in the bottom, "EDIT: prices lowered"
and just change the title with words "lowered price".
Without having to wait a week.

Not in this case. Once a thread is locked, it cannot be edited.
@warped17 - Thank you for accepting it like a man and not throwing a hissy fit.
Yes. It happens.
