Old post editing

Post by Skub »

Due to imjur hosted pics not being visible to anyone in the UK not using a VPN,there are large holes in certain threads where my pics used to be. Currently a post can't be edited after a certain period,my question is,can this be worked around so I can go back and gradually replace some of the imjur pics by directly uploading to RTTL,or is it too much of a faff?

Well it's a couple of clicks to set the edit time to whatever i like so far from impossible.

It's only ever an issue when people have arguments and change their posts to suit the argument etc...

So as long as people behave it's OK.

I'll change it now.

edit. Done. You should be able to edit any post ever made by yourself.

Nope. See Test section. Quoted post don't change.

I made a post, quoted it then went back and changed the image link. The quoted post image didn't change.

I wouldn't expect it to in truth. I'd not expect the forum software to be that clever

Yeah. I was remembering that quoted posts from deleted accounts don't disappear, just the account name (iirc) so I figured what would happen. Took a couple of minutes to check and meant I could post the image of a bush baby again. :lol:

Just wanted to say thanks for enabling this.

I just changed the title on the "Re: New Projects" thread to something more appropriate.

@weeksy Thank you for the forum and the work you do.
