... as your posts are no longer editable.

So, no chance to correct typos, poor word choice or to clarify, etc.

Mr. Worf, I just now edited my post directly above, so I'm not sure what you mean.

Can you please clarify.

Well, that sucks. Kinda hard to update for sale threads or event threads now then. Does anyone know why they did this?

I just edited this. ?

It must be time limited, my other thread for the wheels I can not edit, but this one I can

If this is true, it is a huge mistake on a TECHNICAL FORUM.
Practically every thread I start needs to be edited at least twice, to put images in the right order, add clarification, etc.
Also, on a few threads where guys post up a "how-to" series for repairs or upgrades, losing the edit function makes it just a waste of time.

}}}} OK, I see now. Go back and look at any of your older posts in any old thread. They have taken away your ability to see or use the [EDIT] button in the lower right corner... {{{

Ok. Apparently *I* am no longer allowed to edit posts. Or thread titles.

Some of you are more equal than others. Now.

I successfully edited my signature.

I haven’t looking into my pictures. But, I’m not going to spend time on it.

Welp...

I doubt this is a forum bug. IB is sending me a message. Of some sort.

Apparently, if you are a member of the "new" forum created in response to Bloody Tuesday in the OT forum, your 'privileges' on Rennlist have been circumscribed regardless of any 'bad behavior' on either forum.

Interesting. Well maybe it's just me but I think car forum websites should be strictly limited to discussion about cars. Period. End. If you want to discuss other stuff there is always Reddit.

There is more complexity in the business model than that.

Also, OT on Rennlist pre-dates Reddit. Arguably it predates even Facebook.

I'm sure you are correct. And I'm sure there are lots of members who spend the vast majority of their time on the non car related forums. And it is easy enough not to cross the tracks and stay in the car only forums. I'm was just stating my eutopiatic (not sure that's a word and I'm not popping out of this post to check Google if it is) preference. In fact I am so myopic that I would prefer the 928 forum to be a stand alone site where nothing but 928 related stuff is discussed.

So, have the general paying RL ever been able to go back and edit older posts?

I'm just not sure if I have ever done that before now that I think of it. On the other hand, every time I post a new thread I have to edit a minimum of twice just because of stupid spelling errors, etc etc.

It's not. But meaning can be inferred from the root.

In fact I am so myopic that I would prefer the 928 forum to be a stand alone site where nothing but 928 related stuff is discussed.
I'm the opposite. There's nothing that forces you to other car-specific forums on Rennlist. If you don't visit them then the don't exist. They're Schrödinger forums.

Yes. Originally you could edit any of your posts no matter how old. Then due to folks getting pi$$y and attempting to delete all of their posts the feature was date constrained.

IB wants to ensure that their IP is not removable by those that contributed. It will be interesting to see their response to GDPR requests and the similar facility afforded to CA denizens in the US.

Exactly. Hence the title of this thread.
