The search for "View new posts", only returns about 10 posts now, and no ability to go deeper. (Before it had page 1 and 2, and listed about 30 recent posts.)
Also, I posted in one section, and for some reason, the edit button was there... now it is not... (Editing is a key feature, not sure who turned it off in that posting area.) The post which has the "Pinup girl 2" topic... It literally changed right in front of my eyes! The button was there, I hit edit, (to add a photo), it opened the edit page, I edited it, than hit "Save Changes". Then it spit out an error page. (You do not have permission to edit this post.) Huh? It was my post... When I reloaded, the edit buttons on all my posts in that topic were gone. (They are still on other posts in other areas.) Check to see if someone accidentally changed the "Members" ability to "Edit" in that section. (Show and tell?) Or see if that section has accidentally defaulted back to "Do not allow edits in this section/topic". (Not sure why you would want to limit editing. We all make mistakes, and sometimes use that ability to edit, so we don't look stupid, or so we can change our attitude. Sometimes things sound good when you write them, but when you re-read them, you realize they are a little harsh, or not what was intended. In my instance, I just wanted to add to the posted content, with an image that I did not have at the time of the original posting. It is more waterfall to have people correct themselves with another complete new post in that topic. |

You have a set period of time to edit posts (10 minutes I think?). This prevents people from making statements and then removing them, thus erasing any proof of such. This helps keep people honest.
-------------------- Stay humble.

I just posted it?
Must be a math problem with midnight... (Looking at the time I posted.) Though, I seem to be able to edit almost all my posts... hours later. |
