    Editing posts really ought to be added. Not only is it limiting but it results in quite a few posters duplicating threads.

    How about editing titles? I just needed that a minute ago.

    yes sorry i mean editing more than the last post - i think the main place this is required is the marketplace for latest updates/prices etc..

    a report spam function would be nice. i have seen threads pop up every so often for pornos or what not, it would be nice if everyone had the ability to report if a post is spam or what not.

    right next to the "i like this" button.

    ive also been on forums that have a + rep button. would kinda be cool, you can +rep people if they are helpful and the like. also would be near the i like this button.

    i know this is an old post, but its stickied so eat it!

    Lets say you have many actors to display different values of the score, and you want to move them so that their spacing stays the same. It would take a long time to move them one by one to make sure they are the same and even if you have a change attribute behavior that moves the actor to its position plus a number than who know where it would go!

    (I have done this and it is a pain.)

    This thread is about cleaning and organizing the forum. Nothing to do with the creator. That is a feature many others have asked for and would be very nice to have. This just isn't the right thread. There's a sticky for making suggestions for the creator features.

    I am hoping that when the new forum gets integrated the following will happen:

    Limit signatures to 4 lines

    Disable images in signatures

    Have the option to 'turn off' other people's signatures

    It's what Touch Arcade does on its forums, for example, and would just make the place look a little tidier!

    Cheers,

    QS :D

    I would hope to have an actual signature option so it doesn't get included when you quote someone with a mile long signature.

    According to Yoda, a forum upgrade is coming within a week or two, and I honestly can't wait. I really hope it's a new forum that's more search friendly and accessible to new users such as I. Right now it's incredibly annoying to search topics since as it's so limited. A forum software as robust as VBulletin would be a welcomed edition.

    You can edit titles. If your's is the first post, then select edit (if its still there) and you can edit the post and the title!

    @rumi

    The whole point of my AND jeffnichols port is editing aptitudes after you've entered your second post and so on

    I agree, editing titles would be great, less work for the chefs for sure.
  • tenrdrmertenrdrmer Member, Sous Chef, Senior Sous-Chef Posts: 9,934
    You get one hour from the post creation to edit your title. no matter how many posts you or anyone else has made.

    I locks after an hour cause generally the Topic is set and Changing the title will likely only make things harder for people to find when they come back.

    The only place it would be handy is in the MArketplace but Hey thats closing soon so not really a priority i'd say.
