The "edit" and "delete" buttons keep dis |
Quote |
It seems that very frequently, about 25% of the time, the edit and delete buttons at the top of my own posts will simply not be there. This is quickly becomming a major problem as it seems inevitably the delete button will be missing every time there is a double posts, and any post I catch an error on will be the one that has the edit button disappear on.

The editing function will be disabled 15 minutes after your post, according to the mods this has been abused earlier when it was unlimited. I hope it doesn't sound mean, but I myself like to use 'preview' and proofreading before using 'Submit'.
About deleting posts I only know you should be able to delete your post (only one reply/ the tread only if you are the only one who wrote in there) as long as nobody replied to it (i. e. this thread before I answered). If they put a time limit on that, I don't know.

First, to complement Wer's post:
Wer explained it very well and accurately. Just to add, the same time limitation applies to deletion as well - edition and deletion permissions walk hand in hand basically, the only difference being the extra deletion condition mentioned by Wer (can't delete a post after the thread has received another reply).
Now on-topic:
We understand your concerns. I believe you will find the reasons and more details behind this at http://lah.li/27273.
I haven't posted updates regarding this topic in a while so here it goes. The plans are still to re-enable editing, that is, to disable the 15 min edit time limit and replace it with a new solution, once it is ready to be deployed.
Unfortunately, this new module's development has been delayed due to many reasons and unforeseen circumstances, the main ones being the lack of time from the development staff as well as resources and time spent on the development of yet another module which will be deployed alongside the new solution.
I can't really give more details at the moment, but efforts are being directed at finishing and refactoring this new solution in order to be able to ship out its core sub-modules the sooner possible, which are the actual blockers here.

Wait, i don't quite understand.
Is it at the start you can not edit, or 15 mins later? What if there is a error? Do you ask a mod to fix it?
Or can you edit it in a hour or next day?

Posts are editable for 15 minutes, starts counting when the post is created.
This limit will probably be lifted in the next update.

Well that's all nice and good, but as an artist I just ran into a serious problem with this new feature. I posted a pic, realized I forgot a noticeable detail in it, edited the pic, and now I can't swap out the pics in the post.
Might want to disable this feature in certain sections of the site. I've seen it cause an uproar on other forums in the past, even though I do think it's a good idea it doesn't loan itself well to certain forums, like story and art sections. I could throw hypotheticals at you till I'm blue in the face, some of which I've actually dealt with in the past, but it would all boil down to what I've already stated. Some thread types don't do well with an edit limit on them.

Edit time limit will be lifted globally in the next update.
I know this is getting a bit old as this is the second time this module's development gets halted. Trying to sort out some work stuff first.
As I'm working on this module practically single-handedly, its development obviously halts completely while I'm busy working on other projects.
This module's development has been stuck at 85-90% for the last month or so. I should be able to finish it in 24-36 hours worth of work when I get back to it.

As a workaround, please make a new post with requested changes, we will take care of it. Sorry about the delay.

Well this will be a great help if this rule is lifted...
Since my thread is big, I want to keep all my updates on the first page.
