Editing posts after 1 hour. And shouts at all? Old vs New vote?


Recommended Posts

Sometimes I make typos, others I would like to be more mild towards others than I was in the moment, and have found it seems like there is ONLY a tiny one hour window to edit posts.  This was not the case on the real Range.  Meat, would you please fix this?  I have no problem with allowing it to be edited forever, but if you want to put a limit of a month on it to keep people from changing their predictions or something, I could be fine with that as well.

With the hypercritical era we live in and general state of this board, I think my request would be welomed by many, if not all.

Same with shouts(chatbox for any new folks reading).  Currently, I am not aware of how they can be edited, and I am not even talking about mobile devices.  Would someone please say how this is done?

I really like the old board better, but I reckon Lit likely determined this current set up would somehow inflate the value before sale, similar to the fake bots I have campaigned against for a long time.  I wouldn't mind a vote on what folks prefer, but I would prefer to keep things peaceful so I don't currently intend to bring it up in the main forum.  So would you work with me to settle the issues with the current software?

i have no authority to change settings like that. i can do simply baby mod stuff, thats it

Ugh.  Thanks for replying, at least.  Lit ignores me when I ask about the board.  He engages when I talk Bills, but that's it.

Meat, would you do me a small favor and bring this to his attention then?  For him I would imagine it's a very quick flick of some switch, and I'm guessing it's just a default setting and not some sudden change of policy he made.  Thanks.  It's great you keep an eye on this section, but I wish you had more ability even though I think you renounced it?  Trying to remember.

Lit, will you please help with this?   I don't believe it was some policy you purposefully changed but rather something with the new software, and I'm guessing if you couldn't easily override it for your own posts that you might feel our pain.

I get there might possibly be reasons you might not want the ability to edit to be indefinite(even though I think it's preferential), but far longer(measured at least in days) seems sensible.  

I don't want to bother you, but unless you respond I have no idea if you have seen this and will have to keep bumping it, and/or maybe possibly PMing Meat and asking him to ask you,  and/or eventually PMing you myself, which you know I tend not to do other than in very extenuating circumstances.
