Editting Threads
I see that according to the posting rules on each page that a member can edit his/her own posts. However, there does not seem to be a way to do it on older threads. It does show on a new thread. Please advise.

Hmm.... I just now noticed some of my posts do not have the option to edit either.... thats weird.
If you can edit it, it will be to the left of the "quote" button at the bottom of your post. |
Hi Jim
I just noticed thats as well there seems to be a time sensitive limit as to how long you have to edit a posting I would like to see that lifted if possible Take care and ride safely dear friend Yours Hank |
I believe there's a time limit on editing, not sure what the default limit is though. This is basically to prevent people from changing their post, in which it wouldn't make sense in a thread afterwards. It's more for thread starters than replyers.
EDIT: seems it's set at about 1 day.. I'll increase it. :tup: |

The problem is during the move certain bits of content didnt make the move over properly For example the you tube links in my older postings dont show up properly, they show code instead of the link or embedded video, some photos i uploaded are the same It would be nice if i could when i have time correct those type of posts but with things as they are now i dont even get the option Any thing that you could do to help rectify the matter is deeply appreciated Take care and ride safely dear friend Yours Hank |
No problem, I set it to 2 months, but I'll remove it.

This forum does not allow deletion or editing of old posts you have written. |

Absolutely wrong. Editing and deletion of posts is allowed.
|

|
mike,
so if i started a thread, i can now go delete the 'entire' thread even other peoples 'posts' on that thread? im sure that how PRO B works but this aint dat lmsao:lmao: |
Were you thinking of deleting yours rapid jim?
Did you leak classified information? |
Quote:
No, of course not, you can't delete entire threads. |

You can delete your posts no one elses even if you start the thread. Never seen it any other way in 10 years of foruming
|
You have to click edit to see the delete button
|
You guys all realize people rarely look past the first page of any sub forum

True on recent posts but there is a cut off. Example: I went back to an old post of mine, I could edit it but not delete it. Newer posts have both options. |
Quote:
I really don't think that's the case, I think the delete option is always there. |
Quote:
I can't find it now so I will ask here, is there a way to bookmark old threads? I remember seeing the question asked but can't find it. |
If you try to delete the first post in the thread you can't but any other are fair game back as far as November. Don't know why you would want to delete something that old unless you were being petty

Well they should take the time to read the whole thread if they are going to reply as to how they can make an intelligent and pertinant response if they didnt is beyond me I always read the whole thread in question before adding any further replies Its just good form imho Take care and ride safely dear friend Yours Hank |

Still waiting on an answer to my bookmark question. |
Also May I add on a continueation of Inuyasha is If you want to put up a VIDEO there is no way to YOUTUBE option. It just puts the link.
Also how about SPELL CHECK and or PREVIEW before you commit. Lefty |
Hank I said most.. I really meant they don't look too far into things or seach the forum. Most just post new questions despite there being an answer on page three of the sub forum they asked in. Meaning all the wonderful information here is most likely used only 1% of the time. I'm not sure that I could tell you what is on say page 102 of the 50cc forum. I bet its similar to page 64. There is a huge amount of redundancy hers which is useful but rarely used...

Thank You. That does show what threads you are subscribed to but not how to bookmark (subscribe) to a thread. I did find out how by playing a bit. To subscribe (bookmarks) is under thread tools above the first post, for those that don't know how to do it. Now for the long task of subscribing ( bookmarking) some of my old information and how to threads. |
