January 9, 201412 yr 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 ...
January 9, 201412 yr 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.
January 9, 201412 yr 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 ?

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.
January 9, 201412 yr Author 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
January 9, 201412 yr 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.
