Trying to get sold sign in Title

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I am trying to change the title of my post to reflect that my item has been sold. I have followed these steps:
Go to the post and click on edit post
Click on Advanced
Go to the Title and type in the changes
Click on Submit changes.

When I do this, the changes appear in my post after someone has clicked on it. But they do not appear on the page where all the items are listed for sale before someone clicks on it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help you can give me. This is driving me crazy.

Prior to the new software, when I logged into the forum using my cell phone and the mobile app, it would show me a list of new threads, or old threads with new replies. Since the new software has been deployed, all of the threads are listed - even if I've already read all of the posts for a thread.

I can't seem to find a way to list only threads with unread posts.

Is that possible anymore?

Hi all.

Don't let all the features and options of the new software intimidate you. There are still only three main functions of a forum. The new software works the same way as the old software. If you can do these three things you are off and running. Take your time and explore all the new features of TOTV little by little. It's really not that different than the old software. Some things have moved around and changed but the basic forum functions the same way.

After watching the video, I still am unable to post an ad. Help! Thank you in advance.

Then my issue is not related to the software, sine I log in a couple times a week.

Actually, I found a switch to list newer posts first. I clicked it, so let's see if that will make a difference.

I wrote a post yesterday on the thread regarding the TV hospital. I selected "Post Quick Reply" however, I was unable to see the post today when I checked the topic. Did I do something wrong? I am new to TOTV.

How do you contact "tony"? I need to delete a post
