Stefan Wood Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 I was trying to edit my "April cd sale" in the Offering topic, and the Edit feature button is no longer there. Help? Quote
Use3D Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 The edit feature expires after a certain time limit. I'll see if this can be changed in particular forums, like Offering/Looking For. Quote
zen archer Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 I couldn't edit either and i have been using the same thread since August Quote
ghost of miles Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 Is this new? (Not being able to edit a post after a certain amount of time has passed.) If so, I'd much prefer the previous way--I just tried to edit a post in one of my Night Lights threads and was not given the option of doing so. In the past I've always been able to edit posts that are quite old. Quote
Aggie87 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 I don't like this change, and hope it can be reversed. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 I don't like this change, and hope it can be reversed. Same here. More than a few times I've morphed the title and/or topic "sub-heading" as the content of a thread has morphed over time. Quote
Use3D Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 Jim and I are working on it. We've just not crossed paths in a few days. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 It is until we can work out a way to only let certain forums have editable posts. Quote
Aggie87 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 It is until we can work out a way to only let certain forums have editable posts. Is that really causing that much of a problem? That's said more in curiousity than disbelief. Quote
Shawn Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 I don't understand (or like) this decision to decide which forums can or can't be edited. What is the reason for this? Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 Check out this thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...c=52077&hl= I knew this would happen. Sorry to "punish" everyone for the action of one. I came up with a better solution, outlined in that thread. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 Sounds good to me. We didn't need a replay of the last time a member did a Sherman on the way out... Quote
Jazzmoose Posted April 15, 2009 Report Posted April 15, 2009 I don't know if the new setup of combining your posts if you quote more than one person into one post is part of this change, but I thought I'd mention that it has been noticed and appreciated! Quote
ghost of miles Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 Are we still not being allowed to delete threads? I just tried to delete one in the "Offering and Looking For" forum...couldn't seem to do it. Quote

Yes, makes my job easier. Turns out this was part of the software. :blush2: Are we still not being allowed to delete threads? I just tried to delete one in the "Offering and Looking For" forum...couldn't seem to do it. It should be working, try it again. Quote

ghost of miles Posted 3 hours ago Report Posted 3 hours ago Am I somehow overlooking the "Edit topic" button? Just tried to edit an old post/topic in the Jazz Radio forum and could not get the edit function to appear. Quote
JSngry Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago It should drop down from those three dots in the upper right corner of the post. Send me a link to the post in question and I'll take a look. Quote

Looked at your profile and the thread itself and nothing looks amiss. Try the old value menu of clear cache and reboot. Quote

Looked at your profile and the thread itself and nothing looks amiss. Try the old value menu of clear cache and reboot. It's something with that particular thread. I can edit in this thread, but only "report" and "share" display in that thread. Not worth hunting down IMO since it is thread specific. I actually just rebooted within the hour to apply Win 11 updates. Quote
JSngry Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago Ok, here's what's going on - Jim A has put in place a time limit on when someone can edit a post. They can only edit a post 60 minutes after posting it initially. There was an internal matter, so if we have a lot of these unintended consequences, please raise your hand 8 Quote
