Re: Topic Locked?
Most likely, it was locked because it was outside the 7 day posting window. If a post is older than 7 days, and you are allowed to make a brand new post in that forum area, we REALLY like to have new posts out there. Older posts are typically pruned every 21 days, so having an older post get edited, means that post is much more likely to fall off the boards.
This is a related issue to the No Bumping clause in the rules.
Please feel free to open a new ad with the new information you hoped to add to the older post.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

Re: Topic Locked?
It's because you bumped your own thread only a day after posting it. BTown has a "no bumping" rule
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=156372&p=307310#p307310
Note, I didn't do the locking, but I'm certain that's what happened.
Looking at the original post date (1/17), you'll have to wait 7 days from that date before you can post in that forum again.
