Heh, I was working on one of those for a while...

Minus plugging into any website though, mind

Im here to accept my invitation,
Im not often as sadly its still less than the old forums, and I am not really able to add much to most discussions.

LucasFIN 2015-08-11 09:11:52 UTC #345

I'm still unable to add @IllOO's graphics here. Still waiting for a word from the devs about the issue with editing older than 6 month posts. I understand you are busy with the looming KS and all but just a quick word?

@Hutchings
@INovaeKeith

Unable to add @IllOO's graphics in what way?

Runiat 2015-08-11 14:55:58 UTC #347

Forum prevents normal and regular users from editing posts they made more than 6 months ago. A feature that seems intended to encourage posting multiple topics on the same topic rather than continuing a discussion for extended periods.

cybercritic 2015-08-11 15:40:58 UTC #348

Let me ping @hrobertson for you, I think he knows exactly what config file and parameter to edit to enable longer edit periods, he was talking about it in the Art Challenges thread.

Lomsor 2015-08-11 18:23:14 UTC #349

I have to disagree, it doesn't do that at all. I still can post on all the gameplay topics from 2013 and discuss the matter there without creating a redundant additional topic.

I think it rather is there to prevent people going back and destroying basis for the discourse that happened after that post was created.
So for instance, I propose an idea and hundreds of posts are discussing it, then a year later I go and change something and it suddenly makes no sense.

Also it prevents people deleting all their posts when they suddenly get unsatisfied with the community or something ... which sadly happens a lot on forums.

It's just very annoying if you want to do stuff like this, projects that span longer then 6 months. Like this, and the minecraft server and registries of info.

So maybe we should propose that regular members can still edit their old posts? So make it part of the trust system. In the end you'll never be capable of interacting on a forum without some trust somewhere. The way Discourse seems to be built it considers its posters to be enemies instead of the reason for its existence.

EDIT: Didn't we have a thread for this already? I can't seem to find it in the support section...

Discourses Limited Post Edit Window

hrobertson 2015-08-12 13:09:30 UTC #351

@INovaeKeith I think it's the post_edit_time_limit setting (which is in minutes).

...

hrobertson:

@INovaeKeith can set the edit window from 6 months to whatever he wants, but it's the same for all users.

I've bumped a request on meta for it to be customisable per trust level.

meta.discourse.org

Let Leaders (trust level 3) edit older posts

While the rate limiting has been implemented, allowing the edit window to be set per trust level has not. Over at https://forums.inovaestudios.com we have a few topics like an Art Challenges topic where the OP is maintaining the first post as a summary of all the art challenges that take place. You may not agree with that particular usage but there are plenty of other totally valid use cases like updating dead links and correcting out-dated information so as not to misinform people that may ...

This way we could have limits like

- TL0: 30 minutes
- TL1: 3 months
- TL2: 1 year
- TL3: 10 years

Or whatever....

I am in before the Kickstarter. New to this forum, but following the game since back when the URL was www.infinity-universe.com/

I am a big supporter of this project and I will be contributing a substantial amount to the initial kickstarter for Battlescape, even though my real desire is to see Infinity MMO (first thing is first, right?).

LucasFIN 2015-09-01 18:36:34 UTC #353

I'll try to remember to add you as soon as the OP is editable again.

cybercritic 2015-09-01 18:50:07 UTC #354

LMAO, yeah Lucas, it will be editable again, sure.

LucasFIN 2015-09-01 20:29:29 UTC #355

Well I'm hoping a fix for the editing issue will be part of the upcoming web update since Keith has been notified about this issue.

cybercritic 2015-09-02 06:29:58 UTC #356

Yes, I understand, made me laugh though, thanks for that.

scorflane 2015-09-02 20:07:57 UTC #357

LucasFIN, well that was embarrassing. I came to pass a sardonic comment then discovered I haven't created an account on this forum. I miss the long circular discussion with USNavyFish on the economy thread in the old forums.
I've been popping by but leading a very busy personal life IRL.

roninmizu 2015-09-15 09:20:34 UTC #358

Wow that's alot of names I haven't really seen in years. I'm surprised some of you have been able to stay active for 8 years. I've been checking up on here every once in a while looking for progress but not really active. I'm glad there is going to be something more playable than the ICP.

Cyc 2015-09-15 11:11:23 UTC #359

I support Infinity since 2011 and joined these forums on the first day. Still haven't been nominated though.

Arkenbrien 2015-09-15 11:22:34 UTC #360

Ahem.....

I nominate @Cyc.

There you go!

Cyc 2015-09-15 11:25:47 UTC #361

I prouldy accept ! Thank you @Arkenbrien

dekaku 2015-09-15 16:35:03 UTC #362

I thought nominations are stopped until the first post is editable again ^^
Or is it just the adding of the new members? hmmmm...

(On a sidenote, how come that anyone that I think of: 'humm I could nominate him/her probably, he/she really is an addition to the community' already is in the old guard?)
