How to clean up the classifieds?

Whenever I visit the forum, I always use the "unread" feature, makes my life a bit easier than bouncing thru all the various forums.  I use this feature on all forums I frequent, so it's great for the daily visits.  

There is also a quicker way to see just the new classifieds posted in the Trading post.  This is what it looks like from a computer/laptop and traditional web browser.  Just click in the order shown.

Yesterday I got a a couple three pages of the closed ad comments in the unread feature.  No biggie from my side, appreciate the work you guys do to keep this a good place to be.  

Yeah.  You must have visited before I got that cleaned up.  Sorry about that.

So I'm new to the site and exclusively use mobile so if I'm missing something else me know. 

I added a How-To that might help mobile device users.  It is in the Trading Post FAQ area.

I was wondering what "Auto Locked" means. Personally, I have no problem with anything of mine that is over 90 days old just being deleted and I'll relist anything I'm still trying to sell. Seems like that would get rid of a lot of the clutter and save people the frustration of seeing the same old stuff again and again.

I like having the old sold threads. They can be helpful on descriptions of certain firearms and what certain types of guns are selling for. 
 

Maybe there is an easy way to archive them but still be accessible. 

I'd give Kahrman's comment 100 likes if I could.  IMHO this is one of the most useful features of classified ads.

Also, I'll add my thanks to TGO David for always working on ways to improve the site.

What I would like to know is why people don't put their city in their listing. If I'm on mobile I can't see your location and some people don't even list their location in their profile to begin with. 

This should be common sense. I can't call you how many times I've seen someone have to ask what part of the state they are in.

Turn your phone sideways and it will show location if they have it listed.

"If they have it listed". Exactly. 

It would be a lot easier if people just put it in their listing.
