Cant Edit Posts

[R31Nismoid]

Yeah i know im not, simply because (as stated already)

it will not change until the forum upgrade is performed

It has passed testing i believe, it just needs to be implemented/released.

Also, funnily enough, the past 2.5-3 months... i've had not one bad trader incident to investigate which is down from my average of 2-3 a month.

Grrrrrr this shiit is seriously frustrating.

I reported a EDIT over a dozen times but nothings been done about it.

This is El Crappo

Ok, forgive me if this seems painfully obvious...

But why has it not simply been changed so that you are allowed to edit your first post in a thread by adding to it, but not removing any original information?

No record of what is sold/offered will be lost, and people can then add to their first post to say if items have been sold, if prices or pickup conditions have changed etc?

I don't mean to offend but it *really* seems like the admins/mods have made a mountain out of a molehill with this one.

And as has already been said - noone is using the report post function because nobody knows to do so!?

Unless you've specifically read this thread, how on earth would that be the logical conclusion to draw?

Further, do you really want the moderator team inundated with requests to fix spelling mistakes in wasteland posts?

This really is a bit of a joke.

This is an out and out bandaid solution. Its not an elegant, efficient or fair way to fix the problem.

Im more than happy to help out any way I possibly can to come to a better working solution - I'm certainly not here just to complain.

But something really needs to be done. And no, I honestly don't believe that waiting for the forum upgrade is a satisfactory solution.

OK well if its not going to be changed can you at least perform our REPORT changes for the moment?

[Shell]

Everything listed here is still for sale

to

Sold and new items listed at end of thread

and the text is actually that size...

its really starting to f**king piss me off because i am continuously getting calls about parts that sold ages ago.

changed it for you...

[femno]

Thankyou!

[WARLORD]

this is fkn shit Please revert back to the way it used to be SOOooOOoo much better

yes revert back,i contacted two mods so they could change something after i was told by one to pm the changes and do you think anythings been done .noooooooooooooooooooo, i hope this is not the future of sau cos its a bad one in my eyes

[NewKleer]

makes group buys harder to organise when you cant even maintain a current list of people because you cant edit posts (and so far havent seen any action from using report to make changes)

is there some process in place so that all reports are taken care of? or will some get 'missed'? should we re-report changes that havent been fixed after X days? (whats reasonable? we dont want to make more work for mods but we have little insight into how things go so dont know what to do)

[DjeMz]

thats the fkn gayyest idea i have ever heard

what about the for sale section??? i got a heap of parts i wanna sell, i dropped the price of most of the parts, but when ppl open the thread, they will see the old prices n not bother looking further..

So whats the deal now? The updates on the server look like they have been done but I still can't edit posts and people are still contacting me about things I sold ages ago !!!

[R31Nismoid]

It wasnt a forum update

It was just a server move over the past 3 days i believe unless C did it both at once

[johnbarry88]

bring back the edit button please...

[phatlavish]

I keep getting like 10 pms a week asking for stuff thats long gone.. pls fix it up!!

[NewKleer]

and/or have mods act on the reported posts (as was suggested as a way we can get the mod to edit our post, by reporting it with what we need done...but hasnt been happening)

[dan_the_man]

pm me what u need changing and i'll get it done tomorrow morning.

[R31Nismoid]

update your threads then

i checked a few randomly and you haven't so.... of course thats going to happen

[NewKleer]

Also, funnily enough, the past 2.5-3 months... i've had not one bad trader incident to investigate which is down from my average of 2-3 a month.

ive got a possible one for you, sent a pm during the week

upgrade eta is? roughly? just asking cos this is getting annoying not being able to edit posts. my wtb thread (quite old) was working well cos i could change the title and content when i managed to get stuff. now i dont wanna bump the thread because i get ppl offering things i've long since found

[NewKleer]

is it unreasonable of me to expect mods might read/reply to pms? who are we supposed to contact about things that shouldnt be posted publicly?

[Howie]

Hi admins, you're doing a great job, but can I just say I'm really against this new can't edit posts format.

An example is, i'm trying to build a diy thread (how to carbon film your interior) for the benefit of SAU members, but as I progress my pictures and posts will be lost in say page 1, 3, 5, etc. So i created an opening post ... see here :

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ca...ml#entry4153968

along with a couple of reserved posts so I can add to it later.

But i've FAILED in my attempt lol As I can't go back and edit it.
