bonienl Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 What happened ? Something changed in the forum set up, because I can't modify anymore any of the topics which I have created. Thanks. This applies to existing ones, anything new is okay ... Quote Link to comment
jumperalex Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 If I had to guess ... an unintended casualty of closing the fork thread and preventing it from being reopened. Perhaps a global setting used vice a thread specific one [shrug]. Like I said, a guess. Quote Link to comment
prostuff1 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 The change was made so that the deletion of entire threads is no longer possible. Deleting ones own posts are fine but the side effect of deleting the thread was that every conversation/post within that thread was also gone. We felt that that particular thing should not happen.

All understandable, but I am stuck in modifying my OT's. I keep track of changes and update accordingly to make sure people have always the recent and correct info/PLG version. Any chance in getting that restored ? Quote Link to comment

Any chance in getting that restored ? We will look into it. I don't know how fin grained the controls are but we will see if the ability to modify a post/thread can be enabled separately from the ability to delete it entirely. Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 One way of interpreting your answer is the choice between modifying or deleting my topics, though - pretty sure - the latter one is not really your intention Quote Link to comment
limetech Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 What I did last night was change a setting so that posts can not be modified after 24 hours. I did this to give the forum a "breather" and I realize this can't stand. I'll get rid of it soon. Quote Link to comment
