I have posted a For Sale in the complete bikes section but I want to change the price and add another photo, but I cannot find out how to do this. Can anyone help please?

If you’re logged in go back to your post at the top of your post should be a thing that looks like a pencil click on that and you should be able change your post

Just to add that, afaik, you can't change the forum sub-section, once posted. Thus you’ll need to copy / paste the text from the old post into a new post in the correct subsection - and add a fresh line in the Subject box of the new post, too.

If reducing the asking price, it is better to do so in the form of a new post on your thread. That will 'bump' the thread and bring it back to the top of the board, which is more likely to catch people's attention than editing the original post and thread title. It will also restart the clock for the automatic deletion of the thread one month after the last post.

If no one has replied to the first post on a thread, it is possible for the original poster (OP) to delete the thread using the 'x' button.
Once a reply has been posted, the thread cannot be deleted by the OP. In that situation, if someone has inadvertently started a thread on the wong board, e.g. 'For Sale - bits of bikes, etc.' instead of 'For Sale - Complete bikes ONLY' or vice versa,
do not start another thread in the correct board. Instead, use the '!' button to report the existing thread to the moderators and ask that it be moved.
