Another little quirk we have found is that, some members on our site have Edit capabilities but other do not .

Anybody got any ideas on how to rectify this?

Likely it's the edit post timer, some users go to edit after it's in effect, whereas others get to it beforehand... that or some are mods and are exempt from it...

Is there a way to modify this in the control panel so the affected members have this function?

Hiya Gizmo. I think I know what you're referring to...give me a second to check the current setting in the CP.

I set it from 360 to 1440 for the time being (1 day)

Does anyone ever use settings of like 1 week or so?

UBBDev is set to one month ;)... Myself, i have mine set to 30 minutes; I figure that if they can't think of anything to add in that timeframe that it's done... keep in mind, leaving things open allows users to delete posts/content as well.

ack, theres two of you now; you're spawning!

Only reason asking was that some of my vendors needed to delete old posts that where no longer applicable.

Twins LOL!

We set the time to 24hrs. Should be good enough...we can do the changes to the vendors section ourselves I guess.

Thanks again!

I ban duplicate registrations on my forums

And, twins?

In this situation we really need the ability for certain forums to have longer or even unlimited edit time - rather than the whole forum.

Yes, I'd like to see the edit timer be based on a per forum basis... I personally wouldn't use it, but I have plenty of client sites who would...

Not to mention, it could open things up for article forums

I for one allow unlimited editing -- (still running the old Classic board, getting ready to move to Threads).

It has never been much of a problem. One old timer got fussy about his number of posts, and went back and deleted many that he thought were useless. That was no problem.

In another case, a troublemaker started a thread, then deleted his first post, removing all followups. But this guy was removed some time later.

I would like to see some way to allow unlimited editing in Threads. what is the highest number allowed in the setting?

A three year long member who was quite active on the forums, decided he no longer wanted to be associated with the community... We lost 1500 threads, and 5k posts...

On another case, a moderator got bored and deleted all of the posts in the sections he moderated; then told me to get a life once i confronted him about it... yeh, we where screwed lol...

Though that was on classic, if it was threads I could just build an index of all of the threads in those forums and restore it from backup ;)...

Yeah, I guess there is always a bad apple somewhere.

Oh yeh... The sad thing was, the moderator who went backstabber was a close friend that I had known for several years personally... it was insane lol

That's why I don't have any personal friends.

oh thats why? ;)...

I have a clique everywhere :nod:
