Programing Question

RA · Posted: Sun Jan 23, 2005 6:07 pm Post subject: Programing Question

Ok I want to know why for a while we as posters where allowed to delete our own posts and now that option has been removed.

For a while after the new Forum was set up. On a persons own post when that person was logged on there was in the uper right hand corner of a persons own posts a "Quote" button, a "Edit button" and a "X" delete button. Now the "X" delete button is gone. I think that option needs to be put back on here.

Here's the thing, you need to log in before you can delete your posts...otherwise the forum doesn't recognize you and can't put the 'x' on your messages.

The forum was setup last week so that you needed to log in in order to read posts. I changed the forum settings last week so that you can now read/browse posts without the need to log in. I just thought that this was a smarter option because not everyone is registered and I think it'll encourage more discussion in the long run. It also lets people who may not be registered read/see the forum before deciding if they want to join. I felt that the login screen was starting to affect the level of traffic and amount of discussion on the site.

So, nothing was taken away, it's just a configuration change and you're not used to going up and hitting the "Log In" button if you aren't posting.

Thanks for the clarification, Miles! Somehow, I just knew you'd have the answer! Wink

Thanks fo fixing that. I guess though that it will only appear on new posts, posted after the fix? I see the "X" show up on my posts from yesterday but not on the ones I posted prior to that. I had a couple older one I was going to zap but I guess they will stay put. Once again thanks for puting the "X" back on. Im sure I'll make another one or ten that need to be deleted in the future Wink
