I've been chucked out of my own thread!

megamaced · 28-01-2006, 03:15 PM

I can't post a reply to my 'Viruses are now 20 years old' thread in the 'news & Articles forum'!

I don't have permission, what's going on

Waffle · 28-01-2006, 02:20 PM

I wasn't even aware non news crew/admin/mod could post threads in there.

megamaced · 28-01-2006, 02:20 PM

I posted it in the 'General Chat' forum, but someone moved it!

megamaced · 28-01-2006, 02:21 PM

Actually I have another problem Waffles! I would like to edit the 'Windows XP Security Guide' sticky I made, but there is no 'edit button'. How can I make changes to it?

Matt555 · 28-01-2006, 03:03 PM

Yeah regular members can't post in the News Section, that's why once I posted in another section then asked someone to move it.

In the news section, you can't, unless you're an Admin, Mod, or News Crew.

That clears one problem up, but the other:

This is the thread, it's in the "Windows 95/98/XP/NT" forum.

mega should be able to edit that, surely.

I know that I can't create a new post, but I should be able to reply to a post? I've always been able to reply to posts in that section, just like everyone else on this board who aren't admins etc. But all of a sudden, I can't reply anymore!

Sniper · 28-01-2006, 10:11 PM

I'll check it out and see whats going on.

Sniper · 28-01-2006, 10:37 PM

ok, you should be able to reply the thread now. However I'm still checking out as to why you can't edit Windows XP Security Guide sticky.

Edit: I know, theres a 3 day limit after which you can't edit your own posts. I will look to remove that limit.

Just so you don't feel too bad Mega, i can't edit my Stickies either.

That's true. I got distracted, so my answer was rather half-ass.
