User Permissions Settings

Post by Admin »

Hi all - as some of you long-time members may have noticed, once the new software for this forum was installed the user permissions (i.e. editing own posts, subscribing to topics, etc.) haven't been the same. I talked to a few people and they were able to talk me through these CRAZY settings for the forum.

Well, now users have many permissions back, such as editing their own topics, etc.

If you notice anything out of the ordinary, or something doesn't work the way you feel it should, please send me a private message. I messed with a TON of settings today and it is always possible that I changed something that I did not intend to.

Well, the "Edit" button is still not showing up (even though the settings say it is there!) so I will do some more digging. I'll keep everyone advised.

twangle,

I tested out your permissions on my computer, and the "Edit" button is still not showing up for you...are you saying that with your posts there is an "Edit" button??? If there is, I am not seeing it.

Still nothing...I think I might have to re-install a few forum files (it is quite possible that one or more is corrupted, which could cause this kind of problem).

I think I've got it figured out...I've been working on it while watching the Super Bowl.

Is everything working now? You should be able to edit any of your posts.
