 OK, so the Admin want a time limit for the time you can edit your postings...  your site, I'm down with that !
BUT... here it comes... please take the EDIT Button out of the selections once the time limit has passed.


I get to my postings, see the edit button, and think ok I got some sort of approval to edit my posts.  I hit the EDIT Button and Wham-Bam, "Sorry YOU can't do it" !


Again, as I tell my Granddaughter 'no biggy',  , but think about the button removal, if it can be done without a lot of work and should it be done ?

 I'm not sure how hard that would be (wouldn't be hard if you were programming Visual Studio), but that WOULD be a nice tweak. That way, you would be tempted to edit something that has expired.



EDIT: button was there and allows me to edit.

EDIT: checked an older post and the button is missing.

Great work, Chris!

 Just to clarify, is that meant for the OP of the thread itself or for any post contributed afterwards? And if the latter, whats the full purpose of keeping the OP of said post from editing their own works?

As I would see it from a business standpoint to correct things on the fly as a means of honest damage control or to prevent an error or trumping misinformation or the likelyhood of something being conveyed or misconstrued.., take it for what it may mean to whomever. That seems a stint above "controlling" even if you can chase or track someone down for a temporary permission for that to fix something as needed or in any form of detail one should desire or require.

i.e.; A group buy with the initial FIRST POST holding the list of participants and keeping it at the forefront of initial post rather than the constant saving an updated pic randomly throughout a 42 reply 5 page thread where we know very few just coming into the thread are likely to spend the time to read through 5 pages, let alone 42 replies before throwing a comment of their own into the mix.

Not to go there but even FRF allows one to edit their own posts should they deem it necessary or prudent to do so. But I have not personally checked to see where the line in the sand is drawn for said permissions; Original posts or later comments just yet so, I may be premature in some of my commentary, If so my apologies.

 The rule is the actual time from the particular post regardless of placement in thread.
The edit button was showing even after the time had passed.

Kinda like putting 50C in a coke machine, pressing the diet coke button and it flashes "Sold out"

We could have dubbed the Nelson sound from the Simpsons show in to the non functional button but it was a better idea to remove it.

Edit time stays where it is, this is from a massive amount of experience in forum software management and years of service work on live running forums with varying subject matter.

That sounds like a specialised use of the forum - not a regular conversation - if specific needs arise in the future then we can consider an alternative solution without opening up mass editing without limit.
