Oh, I see, it still doesn't achieve what I'm after, so I guess I'll have to make do with the forum the way it is. Thanks anyway.
It's a short timeframe set within the Xenforo software (believed to be about 1 hour max) within which members can edit their own post. The reason for that is that when there are numerous responses to a post, if the OP edits the post, the responses may end up out of context.Hi. I wrote a post less than 12 hours ago but there's no edit button?
Hi, ah okay.It's a short timeframe set within the Xenforo software (believed to be about 1 hour max) within which members can edit their own post. The reason for that is that when there are numerous responses to a post, if the OP edits the post, the responses may end up out of context.
(FWIW, under the previous software, members only had about a 10 minutes edit window)
In the 60-minute timeframe mentioned above, you can delete all content and replace it with the letters DBM (deleted by me).Hi, ah okay.
Btw I'm also very surprised there is no ability to delete a post?
ETA: couldn't duplicate issue.@ifindedout About four days ago, I noticed that the
'Edit menu' in the Post reply box (when doing a Post
Reply) has permanently become greyed out, and none of
the editing symbol/functions can be clicked on (yet,
strangely, I can click on the three vertical dots symbol
to see the extra editing functions, which are also greyed
out). This makes it impossible to do editing e.g. Quote
function, italics, bolding, linking. Luckily, the 'Attach
files' button at the bottom does still work. Am I the
only one experiencing this?
(Note; the Preview symbol still works, and the greyed
out Editing symbols are not due to me mistakenly being
in or out of Preview mode.)
Reporting Technical Difficulties related to Websleuths
If you are experiencing technical difficulties while using Websleuths, please do not start a thread about it or post about it in the discussion threads. At the bottom right of each Websleuths page, there is a link called "Report a Problem". When you click that link a form will appear that...www.websleuths.com
Similar to editing posts ... if members were allowed to delete a post because they changed their mind or whenever they felt like it, there could be umpteen responses (and responses to those responses) over pages and weeks of discussion that would then be out of context. Other members don't appreciate taking their time to put thought and research into their responses, only to have posts removed.Hi, ah okay.
