Hi,

today i come on to edit some of my For Sale posts and the edit button at the bottom of my post isn't there. i posted a new reply to the thred today and the edit button is at the bottom of that one, just none of the other older posts i have made.

i have two For Sale topics at the momoent and cant edit either of them, so its not a problem with just the one topic.

does anyone know or have any ideas as to why this is? the help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Josh

You could just post up again with the updates?

People reading the thread will see it.

Reason being we have dodgy traders editing thier posts so its harder for us to track down goods sold, what type and so on.

fair enough. will do from now on, thanks.

I also had this "problem"

Can the 2 hour thing maybe just used in the For sale sections? It's a real pain in the a55 if you've made a spelling mistake or said something silly in another section :rofl:

Shouldn't say some thing silly in the first place :P

How does freezing the post stop bad traders? All i can imagine it doing is shortening the life span of their login.. which means they just have to work a bit harder to cycle their logins and get them ready for posting.

From both a buyer and seller perspective it makes the Parts for Sale Section harder to use. Adverts with multiple items can go on for weeks and have a lot of responses. I will normally continue to edit my first post to make it easy for people to get the most up to date information. With the lock in place people will have to scour through the whole thread before they know if they're wasting their time. One might then think to post separate items in separate threads but then you introduce other problems because an add won't stay in the first 2-3 pages long enough for people to browse it. Most purchases are made through browsing.

thanks

We're looking at ways to revamp the for sale sections at the moment - there's a whole thread discussing it in the mod section so it's not being ignored.

I understand that not being able to edit your listings is a bit of a pain but there is method in the madness, and as alluded to previously it means that someone can't just sign up and do the dodge on someone, then remove or alter the records of what they had offered for sale.

I know it's not perfect but it's the lesser of two evils until a "proper" fix is in place. Thanks for your patience guys :laugh:

I think the time limit is a great idea

if people really need to edit there items for sale then...

1) pm a section moderator with proposed changes the the relevant post

2) give a donation to SAU and get the extra's that come with that

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
