I want to edit my 1080 Avalanche $9.99 thread in the gaming forum but the edit link is not there. Whyyyyy

 

[BuddyC]

because you touch yourself.

It's an idiotic rule that should've been changed when it was complained about during the board's first day or two but for some reason it has remained.

Very stupid feature. I know other VB forums that use it. You can't edit a post that's older than 1440 minutes.

 

[Wario64]

So, is this intentionally set up by the mods or are they overlooking something? And if it is intentional, I sure would like to know the reasoning behind it

 

[AlphaSnake]

Could be one or the other. The option can be adjusted and toggled. Setting it to 0 turns it off.

I bumped it to 7 days... back when it was first complained about. I kinda agree with the concept, but I don't agree with the default setting. GA likes their archives.

That really sucks for posts that archive information, like Gamertags, or Greatest Hits Games

 

[Wario64]

I think it sucks altogther. I don't recall a time where a poster deleted their own posts created weeks or months ago

I meant that threads should be left as they were when they first die out.

Now, I agree that even 7 days is really too short a time... something like a month would be best... but I don't agree with turning it off all together.

 

[Matlock]

Then you won't mind me reposting the thread every time a title is added to the GH line.

 

[Hitokage]

......bah, fine.

 

[EviLore]

But if anyone edits embarrasing/indicting messages of your own out of the forum archive I'm banning you ;b

but then people like kinesis could dimish the legends they have become slightly. why not just make a new post if the old one is that old. surely the info has changed enough to be counted as new.
