Sheila Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 i know SGL have this on theirs (time limit) but I thought we could alter anytime if you want to correct a mistake?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 The time limit has been there for a while, since before this upgrade in fact. It was put there when a certain former member started replacing his post content with full stops, removing content and rendering the forum full of useless content. I could certainly look to increase the time - but it would be up to the Staff if they wanted the limit removing completely. Most forums enforce a limit, mainly to avoid exactly what happened to us.

Sheila Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) may be nice to have a longer limit, but what is the limit at the moment Edited November 22, 2015 by Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 It was put in to stop a very specific sabotage, so the idea was to allow corrections of typos but limit longer term editing. As I say though, it's down to the Staff to give me direction. I can increase the limit or I can remove it entirely. From my point of view, it's 5 minutes work to do either.

Tweedledee Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 It does make sense why you've done it that way. I can live with 5 minutes. But a little longer would be nice. In case of any embarrassing typos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I don't really want to remove it completely for the reasons stated above, but I do understand 5 minutes isn't long enough, so maybe a compromise and increase it to 10 minutes. I'll run it pass the other admins and mods and see what I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I just find its usually well after that i spot a mistake, probably when i go back to look at a post someone has made in answer to mine and realise my original post needs changing (spelling/mistake in content) 10 mins is really not much better then 5 minutes but if that is what it has to be. Seems a shame because of one person we all suffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 There was a 15 minute downtime tonight - apologies for no notice, but it was a security update so I have to apply it as quickly as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically exploits that are addressed in patches are used in the wild very quickly, to try to beat the patching taking place. I always do security patches the day they are released.

Mine stopped today and I have been using the side bar removed for a couple of days - just wondered if they have removed it from the sidebar theme only. Dare say they will find the reason.
