Vergere 1 Posted May 4, 2008 Alright. After much studying and research, I have discovered something. 1. My edit button is gone. I can't edit my posts. This was my first discovery. 2. I can edit only immediately after posting. I can't go back and edit later if I realize I wrote something wrong. (Read: Tenses.) If it's been a certain amount of time, or I go to a different page and return, I can't edit my own posts. 3. It's really annoying, and hasn't ever happened until today. So. Ideas as to what's happened? If I did something wrong? If it's always been that way and I never noticed? I already know I can't *delete* my own post, but I don't ever remember having an issue editing them. Keep me updated. Pip pip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsl 7 Posted May 4, 2008 speaking of buttons...I wish there was a button that marked every post on the whole board as read without having to go into each forum and doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy 60 Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) Alright. After much studying and research, I have discovered something. 1. My edit button is gone. I can't edit my posts. This was my first discovery. 2.

Why do you need to edit old posts? speaking of buttons...I wish there was a button that marked every post on the whole board as read without having to go into each forum and doing it. As well as what Drake said, if you stay on the forum index and click on the 'new posts in this forum' icon, it'll mark that whole forum as read, but leave the others.

Vergere 1 Posted May 4, 2008 Oh I may have fiddled with the settings a while ago. Why do you need to edit old posts? Roleplays? *glances at Rogue and Drake* For tenses. When I screw up. Or need to change something. Just once I go off the page, I can't edit it anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted May 4, 2008 I think it's currently set up so it'll let you edit it within an hour of when you posted it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake 53 Posted May 4, 2008 What's wrong with letting them edit whenever they want? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted May 4, 2008 I hate it when people edit really old things and then later posts don't make sense :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted May 4, 2008 in our case, though, the really old stuff has coding issues, which causes more confusion than edited content, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted May 4, 2008 But mods can still edit posts... :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted May 5, 2008 only in forums we mod, but yeah. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted May 5, 2008 Maybe make the edit thing up to a week or two, instead of an hour? That should be sufficient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandora 77 Posted May 6, 2008 I'm with Drake, why can't we all just edit whenever we want? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
