Two things

[Downer]

Helpful title eh?

1 Some forums seem to allow modifying a post, others don't. Is this deliberate? The FAQ says we have half an hour.
2 The "position" thingy! What's all that about then?

1. Interesting - perhaps the sub-forum permissions override the general permissions? I've set the edit permission for ukcaving/idle chat forums so plz try it out

2. What position thingy?

I have rarely/if ever been able to edit my post in the equipment section. Other sections have been better.

Have updated edit access to equipment as well.

The position thingy - titles like "forum abuser". I wondered if they were set up by you and if so what criteria you set. And what's a NewbieA when it's at home? I want to stop at "obsessive maniac" when I get there but I can't promise I'll stop posting.

Now to find an excuse to post to Equipment and see if you've fixed it

Great!

There is no edit button in this thread, should there be?

Francis

 

[bubba]

Is there one now?

There should be a "modify" link near the "quote" link.

Yup and I can use it!

No, not there.

Oh yes it is - Downer

Bollocks - i can't get these permissions to work properly

 

[bubba]

I've looked into this again just now and as far as i can see, everything is set up correctly....but it doesn't seem to work for some (all?) people.

Can anyone edit posts for up to 1/2 hour after posting? Or is everyone forbidden?

Quite the contrary. Downer can do anything he likes whenever he pleases

 

[Walrus]

Some do, some don't - it's very hit & miss; though as I'm aware I may not be able to edit what I say I try to be careful and speel check everything beforehand, check it for ty pos and gramatical mishtakes and try to phrase things carefully to avoid upsetting the fat/ugly/stupid sensitive* people on here.  :ang:

*insert insult here

Damn, random problems are the worst to sort out.

Looking on the bright side, SMF 2.0 is at beta so hopefully before tooooo long a whole new version of the forum software will be released which will hopefully sort out many little foibles that we have

Im not fat. 

To quote Mr Cameron when visiting Glencoe and having been asked if there were any MacDonalds in the area

"Not any more."

It'll take more than software to sort out my little foibles, I can tell you.
