Editing threads

Colza · 4th May 2008, 02:15 PM

I just tried to change some photo links in an old thread, and I see edit doesnt seem to be an option...

Does this mean all old threads are archived and will stay as they are forever?

GecKo · 4th May 2008, 04:03 PM

What was the old thread?

Colza · 4th May 2008, 07:17 PM

Any of them. I dont get EDIT buttons for any of my old posts, just ones Ive made since the new forum came up.

And on an unrelated note. Smilies? Dont seem to have them....

You can't edit a post after a day by default, I'll be increasing that limit, but it won't be indefinitely..

Ahh i see. Fair enough.

Just found the page with the time setting and post interface options. All sorted now

GecKo · 4th May 2008, 08:56 PM

I've changed the limit to 1 week.

SoL · 11th May 2008, 01:22 AM

Na, you can only edit titles on threads that are less than a year old, and yours is 06

I'll sort something out for that, it's a pain in the ass.
