Eclipse Community

Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

Is post editing disabled?

Is post editing disabled and is that intentional? There is no button for it

EDIT: I can edit this post but none of the older ones

Oh I think this is a result of some moderation changes I made. I didn't expect normal users to encounter it. I'm going to have to try to remember what I changed.

Limit for editing a post should be 24 hours max anyway.
For security reasons, to avoid butchering of threads by some angry user, and to avoid spam.

Except when:
  • You maintain a list of some programs like last versions of software that work on some OS or a tutorial that changes as version of software change
  • You are a creator of some software and want to keep the main post updated with info about the latest version
  • You want to replace a dead link
  • You want to to add info that a superior solution to the one you suggested has been created
To avoid thread butchering a cooldown could be implemented to disallow editing too many posts at once, but idk if that's something that phpbb supports

Problem is in phpBB it's a global setting, it can't be a per user setting AFAIK.
And to add a new post always attract more attention than editing an old one ;)
