Cant Edit Posts

[Madaz]

Mat,

I applaude you, that is the most well thought out and constructed retort iv'e ever read

with logic like that bad trades shouldn't happen on these boards unfortunately alot of people fall for silly priced hardware, and we have to suffer for it

please do something about this soon

haha nice post femno, hit the nail on the head. do the admins even know about this Report Post idea? its been like 2 weeks and nothing has been edited.. just re-enable it ffs!

[femno]

Haha cheers fellas, just hope the mods get some ideas and answers out of it..

but hands down to the mods as they do a good job here on SAU, its just that this isnt one of their best decisions...

[phatlavish]

does anyone check reported posts at all? ive sent a few and none of them have been done

[WazR32GTSt]

what about making it that you can only edit threads when you have >500 posts or something along those lines

of course, if you could exclude hte wasteland from the post count that would be even more ideal

As the title says..

I can't edit my for sale thread and its causing some problems due to not being able to take off whats been sold..

[mesmerized]

due to dodgey sellers i believe

[IMPORTD]

oh that sucks.. thanks for the reply

[PranK]

Can you link me to it?

[phatlavish]

Is there an ETA on when this will be fixed up? very frustrating running for sale threads and not being able to edit, constantly getting PMs about items that sold long ago

[PranK]

I like the idea of having a minimum post count (or length of time on the boards) before you can edit. I will look into that, but I dont run the FS area, I can only bring it up with the guys that do.

As for the 'report post' button, the mods for the area you report the post in get notified, I know I always get notified but I'm usually too late as one of the other mods has usually beaten me to it. Either way, if you report something and nothing is done, please let me know.

is this issue across the board or just the forsale section or is there a post somewhere that explains what has happened to this edit function???

[R31Nismoid]

yeah, the whole thread explains it clearly about 5 times

[rsx84]

yeah, the whole thread explains it clearly about 5 times

all i got from this thread was issues mostly in the forsale section, people paying money to be able to edit, edit function only working for first 2 hours, mods working on a situation, report edit to mods, and the 2 months this thread has been going???

just wanting to know if there is somewhere that explains, by a mod, what has happened to the edit function and what is the options being looked at? rather than 5 pages of random requests and no real answers to everyones questions and requirements for needing to use the edit function.

cheers, Matt..

HAHAHA edit button seems to be working maybe its the 2 hour rule........

[R31Nismoid]

The answers are there, and the fact that we are waiting until the new forum version, thats also there

[phatlavish]

can you answer me why reported posts in the for sale forum arent being edited?

[R31Nismoid]

Probably because there are 100's?

If its to remove a thread, or delete info, it will be ignored.

And update to the thread, you can post in the thread about it

So whats the reason (other than the two) that you are reporting it for?

[phatlavish]

the latest one was to simply remove the words "pickup only" next to one of the items for sale

Minimum "quality" post count. otherwise we'll have to shift through alotta crap just to get to the point.

[femno]

Ash you dont seem to be very helpful about all of this.

People here have made simple and reasonable requests and still they are getting nowhere.

My simple request to change the text:

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.
