Yeah, I did notice recently losing the ability to edit posts. Quite annoying, frankly. But I don't start threads that much so it hasn't been much of an issue.

sajid I can see you on the Users Online list. Fix the edit option before you go AFK again inshaAllah.

Any hope in resolving this issue? What is your ETA?

Wallahi if he tells me that he prefers it this way and doesn't have any desire to change things back then I'll just leave it alone. The problem is he's leading me on but not coming through! Be straight with me brother sajid

July 19th:

I've increased the Editing function to 1 hour now across all forums

July 24th:

BarakAllah Feek. I think you forgot to press "save changes". I'm still able to edit my earlier posts on this thread and there's no opportunity to edit posts after sending them in the General Islam section...

Brother Sajid is obviously a Pakistani (that's not racist - they're known for this type of behavior by concensus).

I think they have already stated why there was a lot of edit abuse in the past that required more than necessary amount of attention from the admin and co to edit things out of and keep the forum functioning. I think sajid is just being kind to re consider the edit optionS. I dont think he is leading you on at all. Maybe for now just think before you post ? Just a suggestion br

That's what he initially said but he changed his mind (see: post #38). So it's either he's leading me or failing to come through!

Yes but it was still an issue people were still abusing the edit function so maybe they changed their mind on it? Idk maybe just think before you post and preview it lots of times before you post?

Beat it sister Flawed. This beef is between me and Sajid.

I don't know what the issue is, bit too complicated to figured out, have spent as much time as i can so i don't know what the issue is, given up

its not a major problem deemed to spend too much time to fix, so will just have to live with it

Khayr inshaAllah. If you weren't a Muslim I would think that you're lying because changing the settings on something like this is usually very easy to do, but I'll trust your word.

Only on a Muslim forum..!

Its not about as straight forward as changing the settings, unfortunately its deeper than that

Editing permissions is applied in several places..

Individual Forums
Individual forum categories
Member User groups
Members with certain forum access

and other places. Because there are so many nested user groups and individual forums there is some conflict somewhere and looking through everything is such a nightmare

Although i did come close to solving it found out that if if a member was part of a certain group then it would work however changing the setting then would mean they would get locked out of a certain forum

its extremely complicated

only way to solve it would be to break every single permission and reset all permissions but doing this is just going to take equally long time to put everyone back in correct usergroups
