Can't Edit My OLD Posts on here ??? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hobie-Pedaller · 02-14-2007, 10:34 PM

hey guys,

i see you guys redesigned the entire site.... looks good, and works better than b4....

but now, i can't "edit" my OLD posts on here ???..... there is no "edit" button available on these OLD posts.

although, if i make a NEW post now, then there is a button on the low-right of the post to allow me to Edit/Delete that post

is there any way to edit OLD posts from this board ?

thx,

doug

Doug, thanks for bringing that up!

The new board was configured to allow post editing/deleting only for 24 hours after posting. We now disabled that – editing is allowed indefinitely.

Everyone – please help us tune up the new forum by bringing things like this to our attention. There are many configuration options in the new forum and gallery. They are not necessarily configured the best possible way right now, and we sure would like to get there.

Talking about some configuration settings, FYI:

10 minutes after submitting your message, you can go back in and edit the post and/or thread title without that “Edited By & time” automatic stamp being displayed. After 10 mins, it will be there…
You have to wait 30 seconds in between the posts… The forum does this to prevent spam flooding…

As I find the time, I plan to start “Board Tips and Tricks” thread where I will provide help and guidance on how to use certain features of the new board. Feel free to bring up features you’d like to know more about – I’ll be glad to write up a “how to” doc... We can then add that to the board's FAQ section for future reference.

Just a thought, but email notification for new posts on subscribed topics should be enabled by default.
