Editing Issues

With the apparently ongoing support I seem to be providing for the Legacy Collection (visitors: post an oath to get access to our super secret candy stash :P) I had Evox unlock a thread for me so I can edit my posts in regards to it.

However, as we discovered, even though the thread is unlocked, I still can't edit any of my posts within it. Since Evox and I are at a loss of what to do I figured someone else can see what's going on.

The thread in question:
http://fedcommand.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=2228

I know the thread itself dates back to 2012 but Evox hasn't had any problem with editing the thread contents. However, Evox doesn't have the job title of "Personal Assistant to Janeway" so it's not really fair to have him keep transcribing stuff for me.

So, can we fix this please?

I've noticed that in general. Edit permissions for anyone not having moderator are just gone?

Ok I spent a while trying to sort this, and I think I fixed the problem. Let me know if it works. Basically, the board was set to disable post editing after 10 minutes. I simply disabled that feature, so in theory you should be able to edit your posts elsewhere too. I checked the forum permissions and everything else seems to be in order.

Indeed, it works now.

Thanks Jesse! :have_a_nice_day:
