EDIT FACILTY

Still no consistency. Sometimes I edit and the post notes the edit. Sometimes it does not.

Consistency please ref.

Sorry Hants I do not understand.

Sometimes I edit and the post is immediately noted "edited a moment ago" changing to x minutes ago etc as time passes. Sometimes an edit is not shown as having being made at all.

New point: can we go back to the old arrangement where an edit is impossible after 5 minutes ?

Yes we can Al. I'll take a look.

Noooooooooooo. Being able to edit beyond the five minute mark is incredibly useful, especially when updating the first post of a transfer thread with new information that may not be revealed in the initial Tweet. As long as it's clear that an edit has been made (and how recently it has been made), that should really be enough.

Right. I "should" have changed this to a 10 minute limit to edit posts. I'd appreciate it if anyone could point out if it isn't working, because I can't see myself (as my moderator super powers allow me to edit all things at all times, which is extremely difficult to resist on occasion :censored: )

Mods are always able to to this this TE, which is why Hants normally assumed control of the in/out freds.

Is there an option to make 'Sticky Posts' eternally editable, while leaving normal posts subject to editing time limits...?

Anyway of showing what members are online in each forum like on the old EW, I know users show up on the main forums page but it was always good to know who was about on each individual page??
