Only the initial topic posts.

+1 for editing within a short time frame. Nuff double posts and broken HTML etc. 

Time limited edit should be available, but no deleting.

The preview works if you remember to use it. If there was an option to post only after at least one mandatory preview, I would use it.

Lifes too short to use preview!

Also theres legit reasons to have an edit and delete. I'd use it to delete my own weird spam (like triple posts) and edit out typos.

This whole "etched in stone" business is just daft. 

~30 minute window to edit posts sounds fair to me. 

Easier to make some sort of client-side throttle that blocks accidental posts. 

If we had delete, threads like this would be ruined: http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=61409 

If you wanna post links, you'll have to preview them. And since you're there anyway, please click them to check if they work. If you had to preview your links and still screwed up, well...

Pure text posts wouldn't require preview.

That would be enough. No need to edit. And triple post detection should be on the site (or not). 

what if when you put the post #number in the title of your post it creates a link to that post.

i actually have that on my todo list too :) 

This would be super handy. Hope it appears when you have the time. 

For the Coding Help stickification massive. 

I would still really like to see a neat round number of 10 perma-threads. 4 additions needed:

Coding Help
Engine Discussion
Other PC Games
<what goes here?> 

 

 

Or in overall Compilation/Lighting thread.
Afaik OTP wanted to do something like that. 

Also for some sort of lighting help thread/tips thread. 

Not really sure why people want to pin more threads. If anything, I think we should reduce them. Jobs & Mappers Wanted would be fine as a standard thread with the level of attention it gets. 

Easier to find relevant threads. 

IMO none of the threads mentioned warrant being stickied, because they are either used too rarely or being bumped frequently enough to appear on the main list. Possibly something like a 'best of' list/thread with links to the most important (whatever that means) non-permanent threads. 

gets bumped quite often. I think that thread in particular would be very helpful for beginners who don't know how where to get the tools they need to make their creations into playable maps.

Also want to say I've always missed a "find posts" button on a user's profile. Would be so useful. 

 

why 

Good way to make your case for editing posts.
