Title: Few more questions?
Post by: McDave on March 28, 2018, 09:21:29 AM

It seems that posts can only be edited for a short time after they are posted, is this true?

As has been mentioned by others, all of our old PM’s have been resurrected.  If we would like to keep them, as opposed to deleting them, will this cause any problems (i.e. the 50 PM limit on the old forum)?

Is the feature that produces a list of our recent posts still available?  I can’t seem to find this on the new forum.

Yes, I believe posts can not be edited after a while.

Not sure how long but Rob will chime in soon.

Keeping the old PM's won't hurt anything, but I've noticed they arrange better if there isn't a few hundred of them.

I can't answer the listing of your posts.

Rob?

no ... they can be edited at any time, but after 5 minutes that edited post will get time stamped.

there is no limit to the number of PMs saved.

Thanks for your response, Rob.  The “modify” button disappears after about 5 minutes.  How do you edit a post after the “modify” button disappears?

'modify' is now always allowed, however it will tag the post with date and time if you edit it after 5 minutes.  any editing under 5 minutes will not mark the post.
