Forum Software tweak - Editing Posts

[tikay]

Afternoon.

We have made a tweak to the Forum Software, to modify the ability of Members to Edit their own Posts.

Previously, it was possible to Edit Posts for an indefinite period of time.   

As of now, there is a time limit of 30 minutes from when the original Post was made.

We are not wholly sure on this, but we think that is quite often the case on other Forums, too.

Any questions, fire away.

Thanks.

Ha, neither.

Think that Ironside or Kinboshi pressed the buttons. We have every confidence in their IT skills, obv.

So, my spelling mistakes will be there for all to see forever, now?

Edit: much better.

This 30 mins thing doesn't seem to be true currently, can't edit any posts I've just made

Edit - Oi Oi, maybe I can!

Edit - Sigh, but not in the thread I need to

Hi James,

As far as I am aware, you get 30 minutes "grace" to edit your Posts. Beyond that, no, it should not be possible.

If that is not the case, let us know please.

I can't edit any posts I've made in my Diary thread that I've made in the last 30 mins

OK, I'll ask the experts (Iron & 'Boshi, God help us) , & see what they say.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Think this is very useful, edits have been made to staking requests after people have been booked, full clarity on what was originally said is important in these transactions IMO

Will you introduce a "pished mode" that will allow posts made between 11pm and 4am to be edited for a 30 minute window 8 hours after posting?

Ha, I think it's much more fun having to log in and see what you've done

In all seriousness I think it should be 12 hours or something unless there is a very good reason for such a short time span.
