request an older threads formatting to be corrected

Hi! I’d like to edit some of my old posts and threads.

You should be able to already, the limit to length of time to edit was removed entirely a little while ago. Have you tried to edit any and if so, what happened when you did?

This is all I see under my old posts.

Antillese Mod Edit - Testing Dunkr’s profile permissions now that I’ve set you to trust level 3.

How far back are some of the older posts you’re trying to edit? The precious default is two months, specifically 86400 minutes, but that was removed already.
If it’s outside of that time period everyone should be able to, so just trying to get an idea of what the root cause is to investigate a fix.

for what it is worth, after I finished fixing up the threads I mentioned I wanted to and getting put back down to a regular user level, I cannot edit old posts of my own either. I don’t think the removal of the post age limit for editing has worked as intended.

(for example I cannot edit this post even though I am the author: Game characters in alternate scenarios / alternate art (for clarity’s sake I mean that specific first post, not the entire topic))

Thanks for letting us know. Been doing some investigating and believe it’s a time limit setting based on trust level for a user.

The admin team are on it, really trying to find out the root cause to stop this happening again in the future.

Thanks all for you patience on this one =)

Hiya. I checked your permissions and confirmed that you seem to have the correct permissions via my Admin tools. Let me know if it’s not working. Hit the “…” button to expand the toolbar and you should have the edit pencil.

Been looking into this and you should have the correct permissions. Admin/mod team is investigating. We suspect it has to do with how the database was ported over into the new front end.

I took the opportunity to clean up the post in question for you so at least that landing page will look better for the next person.

Still no pencil for me.

Would you please try logging out, clearing browser cache and trying again? And/or checking in a private browser window (which sandboxes similarly.)

Quick ask for anyone having editing issues - if you go to a post you made after April 10th or so, do you have the option to edit it?
And any before roughly April 1st, is the option removed?

And no this is not an April fools joke, just an odd coincidence!

Just now realizing I still have editing privileges on other people’s stuff. Sorry, forgot to say anything a while back.

Not a problem, thanks for letting us know. We are running some tests to find out why it’s behaving this way, and when everyone can edit their own older posts we’ll set up the levels again.

It’s the only issue we’ve had in a while, so taking that as a win!

Works for me now. Thanks!

Actually you did say something, but, I edited it out

Any chance this thread can be fixed? It’s been so long.
