When do we get the EDIT feature back, because without it is a royal pain the rear!!!!! BIG TIME!!!  Vic?

[ADulay]

Gotta agree.

Not being able to correct a simple spelling "errer" when reading a post is very irritating.

Uh, make that errir, nope, try errour,  nope, try airor.

Ah, the heck with it.

Yes, and then when the board times out or whatever it is called, I lose it all, before--somehow with the EDIT feature still in place, 99.9% of the times, my office computer would hold everything I wrote and I was good to go with starting another new post reply, NOT NOW!

Posting and then proof reading and catching mistakes or additions needed are now of course impossible.

I understand the reinvention and taking away the delete/remove end of it, but everything else is getting 25 to 50 times harder to post!!!!

Seriously. But hey, all I can do is state reasons and suggest.

Some sites give you five to ten minutes to fix an oops.

Vic, we seriously need an Edit, and Edit should stay for the O.P. for at least 1 hour, if you are seeking to do away with posters deleting their posts. 

I have done it before as well, mostly for the 'argument factor' when a person is relentless or a few gang up, I rather just pull down what I said no matter what it was.  Trying to keep the peace, etc.  I understand what you want due to the roulette posting 'holy grail' scenario, but there needs to be a happy medium.

I do wholeheartedly believe and would strongly urge that posters in their own Blogs have ultimate control over anything and everything posted!!  In other public sections, you need to at least give a poster 1 hour or so to Edit.  This is mostly due to the fact of defaults and malfunctions of this board in posting.  It gets very difficult most times.

Thanks for the feedback. The large context being we're in the middle of "piggybacking" several sites to our database for the very first time in our existence.

The most immediate new web space connecting to us being TheMissingPiece.site, then the new multi-forum (a forum per each member) so really *really* don't want to rock the boat post-wise.

We're also moving our normal operation from post editing to post versioning.

This has a big impact since each version of the post is a separate unit in the database, thus allowing very cool features such as retrieving exact snapshots of how a thread was at a certain time and date, which is impossible with our current setup.



Your feedback is noted and the following actions are to be put in place:

- Blog owners are getting moderation back within their section.

as well as,

- Complimentary of one (1) hours before locking the post.

Next Wednesday + Thursday are set to complete the post versioning code, starting at the new site.

As post versioning is finished, the regular unlimited editing we are used to returns, with the addendum of leaving a log so fellow members can enjoy a "way-back machine" of threads. A big plus that is worth these temporary inconvenience

Cheers & many thanks for the comprehension

This is one of those core features that changes our ways to interact with each other for the better.

Vic, take the porn links down, I tend to leave BetSelection up right after my main screen and when the 4 year gets on my lap top, he clicks on everything.  You now have at least one porn link up on your site in the sports betting area.

Vic, take the porn links down,

User banned and links taken down. Spammers suck big time.

Really sorry about that. You know rogue spammers aren't something under my control.

What an awful thing. Want to put so many hours to code the good stuff for us to enjoy here, but we're heavily under-funded, that's the truth.

Any case, this is already solved in the new engine by having 7 days for our new staging area. If we weren't crippled by support, we'd have already ditched this web engine long ago already.  This is a very easy one to catch for our "auto-mod" feature. 99.9% of spammers post a link in their first post. By merely auto-flagging these spammers would find us undesirable and leave us alone.

Manual moderation sucks too but my hands are tied until the whole code from scratch is in my control again by means of the new engine. Need to take a deep breath now.
