[NSC] What’s happened to the Edit fuction?

[Audax]

You can edit a post within 30 minutes of posting it. This was the same as it was on vBulletin, and what it has always been on here too as far as I can tell.

I've certainly not wittingly changed it.

It's definitely been changed. I was able to update the OP of the F1 2023 thread multiple times through this year (most recently on October 9th), but I now cannot (having just gone to update the season race results table after the triple header).

Indeed Which is why everyone can edit their posts, as they've always been able to do.

I often make a post, read it back, realise I've made a mistake, and quickly make the required edit.


Actually, you may be right and it was 15 minutes on vBulletin, not the 30 it is on here currently.

I've been using it to append the team sheet to match day threads for ages but it wasn't there on Saturday.

TEAM NEWS

Everton have no fresh injury concerns and Ashley Young, who scored in the midweek Carabao Cup win over Burnley, is available after serving a one-match league ban.

Seamus Coleman is set to step up his comeback from a knee injury by playing for the under-21 side on Saturday.

Long-term absentees include Jakub Moder, Solly March and Danny Welbeck.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

• The four most recent Premier League meetings were all won by the away team, including 4-1 for Brighton at Goodison Park in January and 5-1 for Everton at Amex Stadium in May.
• Brighton can earn a third successive victory at Goodison Park; the only team they've beaten in three successive top-flight away games is Wolves.

Everton

• Everton have won three of their past five league fixtures, as many as they had in their previous 20 attempts.
• Sean Dyche's side have earned back-to-back 3-0 victories at Goodison Park and won five of their past seven outings in all competitions.

• Everton have kept a clean sheet in each of their past seven home league victories since beating Crystal Palace 3-2 in May 2022.
• The Toffees have equalled their club record of 10 Premier League home defeats in a calendar year.

Albion

• Brighton are winless in four league games (D2, L2). It's their longest run without a victory since Roberto De Zerbi's first five matches in charge in October last year.

• Albion are on a club record run of scoring in 18 successive away league matches.
• The Seagulls have both scored and conceded in 14 Premier League games in a row. The competition record is Everton's run of 16, ending in January 2013.

Agreed. I started the Loanee Tracker thread on 29th. July and regularly updated the OP all through August and until the last loanee announcement had been made. That was using the edit function through a full month and more.

[Albion] - The 2023-24 (Last Season!) Loanee Tracker Thread

Now that the flow of outgoing loanees is starting to accelerate, it seems about time to launch the new season's tracker thread. As per last season I will update this first page as and when more and more head out to EFL, SPL, SFL clubs, and abroad. I will post any information I unearth about...

Further, on the 2022-23 Loanee Tracker thread I was able to edit the OP in January when Khadra, Connolly and Tolaj moved on loan to a different club, and added in James Furlong's half season loan to Motherwell and Beadle's to Crewe.

[Albion] - The 2022-2023 Loanee Tracker Thread

This season's loanees, for reference (latest updates in red): updated as per 1st. Feb. 2023. (Update - 22 players out on loan - 12 of them (starred) left The Albion at the end of the season). James Beadle - on loan at Crewe Alexandra (League 2); *Aaron Connolly - on loan at Venezia (Serie B)...

In confirmation, I've just noticed that the thread was started on 30th. July 2022 and the OP was last updated on 9th. June 2023. Can I submit this to the Guinness Book of Records for the longest 30 minutes ever?

It was oddly gone for a bit on the weekend, but has since returned. Not sure what went on there...gremlins in the machine...

No it hasn’t.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

No it hasn’t.

The good news is, if it turns out you're wrong and you have had an edit button the whole time, when you find it you'll be able to change all these posts to make it appear you knew where it was all along.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

From a quick bit of research, users need to have the "edit any post" permission to view post edit histories.

Clearly, allowing everyone to edit every post, regardless of who made that post, would be carnage so I can't turn that on for everyone unless I can find a plugin which does that. Not found one yet, but I'll keep looking!

We don't need to view post edit histories which is not the same as ability to edit every post. You may have misread that?

Your screenshot refers to ability to edit "own posts" which is what we need to revert to how it was. If you turn that on to "unlimited" we’re back to where we were. Please? No plug-in needed.Used to be that you could edit for a while (half an hour or so?) without it being flagged up, then after that you could edit but a message was appended to the post to alert readers that an edit had taken place, which should help assuage any fears about mischievous alterations.

 

[KZNSeagull]

All this talk of editing and no-one has edited the thread title. If this is not going to happen, can someone please explain what a fuction is and whether I should want more or less of them? Thanks

I think we’ve established that we have had a permanent edit button until very recently.

I don't think I used to have one. I remember it being time limited as described by others previously in the thread.
Edit: It's like the memory thread has come alive.

I certainly did. As mentioned by a PP, I also correct minor textual errors in my posts whenever I see them (I’ve worked as a proofreader if that’s any explanation) and have made corrections to posts that were weeks old.

That post is ridiculously aggressive.

Sorry Bozza, but it definitely has changed. Having started the Loanee Tracker threads, I've been able to update the OP all through the season so that people can see all the loanees on page 1 without having to go through the whole thread for the latest position. Now I can't. Audax has had a similar experience with his formula 1 thread, and Dick Head is no longer able to append the team sheet to his matchday OPs.
Looking at your screenshot, please can you just flip that tick for editing own posts (not all posts!) over to 'unlimited'?

 

[tedebear]

No it hasn’t.

Yes it has, but you can only edit for a certain amount of mins...

[Colonel Mustard]

That post is ridiculously aggressive.

Is it? I’m genuinely mortified. It was absolutely not intended that way. Was trying to be helpful as it looked like you might have misunderstood the 'view post edit history' as being 'edit any post'. Sorry if it was read differently.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Yes it has, but you can only edit for a certain amount of mins...

Yes, that’s what it has changed to. Previously you could edit indefinitely.

 

[Albion my Albion]

I’m trying to use this Edit popup to amend @marlowe ’s post, but it won’t work

What’s gone wrong with this place lately?

Can we really edit other people's posts?

I don't know, I never edit my posts
