tomfmason Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I like the idea but I think that it is set way to low.. I just made a post and attempted to edit less then 5 minutes later but got the message that the time limit had passed. As I said I like the idea but would it be possible to extend that a little maybe 10 minutes or so?Thanks,Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 A lot of thought has gone into the timing of that feature. If you need to make an edit more than 2 minutes after the initial post, please make a new post. It will avoid a LOT of confusion for a lot of instances.

steviewdr Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Just following up (cause I just noticed this): so in summary - 2 minutes after making a post, a person cannot modify or edit it?Hummm...Anyways.-steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjakreborn Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Just offering my own feedback, I think it would be nice to have it extended, if admins ever decided to, ti does get a little aggravating, but if a lot of thought was put into it, it probably won't change.

Ninjakreborn Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Nevermind, I read the sticky, and that all made a lot more sense than having the modify on there longer. I didn't think of those points, nevermind, now I am all for the modify restriction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ananda Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Hi,I think there is a way to do it. Just get the time of entering the new data and keep it in session. When user tries to edit it....compare the current time with the session.....when the time diff is more than 2 minutes allow the user to edit....else just echo the user that the data is not ready and redirect the user back to the original page. hope it works.

We're not going to hack SMF to modify this feature.Thread closed, this is a dead topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
