Suzirider 737 Report post Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Mod, could this thread get sticky status, and added to the Newbie Forum ? Hopefully you will get less "nobody told me" problems. 48 hours is a good compromise.

Guest O***wa**W Report post Posted June 5, 2010 Darn, I wondered why I couldnt find the edit button next to an old posting of mine I need to edit. I thought I was going crazy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I normally do not edit my content. Can we no longer "edit"? This has just been changed due to abuse of the editing privilege. Mod explains this on a thread where a member used the editing feature to delete the entire contents of his key posts: The original question and comments on this post have been removed. Up until today the elite members could go back and edit previous posts, doing this obviously causes holes in the site (and in my eyes is abusing this ability) so I have removed the ability for elite members to go back and edit posts past the 24 hours window. I hate holes in the site like this!! http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=170792#post170792 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PistolPete 61421 Report post Posted October 23, 2010 Without your edit button it just may end up that others just may not post as much as they like too. But make sure when hit the reply button it is what you want to say. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capital Hunter 18263 Report post Posted October 24, 2010 That certainly will apply to me. I will not post as much as, likely significantly less as it will be more time consuming to post now, not to mention if I had a change of heart about something I can't change my post. Likely may be those who abused the privilege should get the warning rather than all of us paying the price. My view anyways. Additional Comments: As a suggestion, it may be nice to have a narrow one hour editing window to proofread after post and get rid of mis-spells or grammer mistakes. This would be particularly important to those whose first language may not be English lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mod 135639 Report post Posted October 24, 2010 You should still be able to edit the post up to 24 hours after originally posting it. I suspect you can all not do this?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit button is now back! I have an edit button for this post, but not for the post I made this afternoon on this thread. Thanks mod! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mod 135639 Report post Posted October 24, 2010 Thanks WIT - I was just working on that. I just don't want people to be able to go back a month later and delete post content (Like what happened last week) that really makes a mess of the site. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest S***e Report post Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Excellent!! Thanks Mod...more often than not my fingers are disconnected from my brain, hence the spelling mistakes, typos and occasionally "foot in mouth disease" on my part! LOL Edited October 24, 2010 by S***e Typo and to see that "edit" works...it does! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PistolPete 61421 Report post Posted December 23, 2010 Mod I noticed that when posting comments on profiles and pictures the edit button has disappeared, is there a reason for this? I like fixing typo's ;). Perhaps there was something mentioned prior but I did not see anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whatsup 11893 Report post Posted December 23, 2010 it was removed cause one of the elite members who had this ability abused it. Mod, please do not penalize the rest of us because of the actions of one elite member. The offending member should be warned ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mod 135639 Report post Posted December 23, 2010 Sorry this was not the first time. I am not penalizing anyone I am simply making an adjustment for everyone to prevent this from happening in the future. We have another lady very upset cause one of the elite members who had this ability decided to go back and delete all the nice comments. This is the same as going back and deleting the threads... it's just not cool. I would like to trust everyone that they would not do this and you would think that a elite member would not do this... but again someone did. It's just better to turn off the feature at this time.
