Topic: What the hell?

Why can't we edit posts older than 10 minutes now?

I need to change something in an old post on the AD&D boards, but now I can't. Can you at least disable that there? That's really going to put a dent in our game if we can't go back and change something if future events make what we posted irrelevant.

That's to keep people to what they say. The 10 minutes is just so that people can spell check their post, and they "actually have to read it before clicking that send button."

So maybe he can take it off the AD&D boards somehow?

I have an event that's happened that's made a post I have up irrelevant, and I need to change it to reflect on that. But I can't cause I posted it like yesterday.

And we do a lot of that, having to react to how events happen. Or when someone is reading things wrong and does the wrong thing, then has to go back and correct the post.

Lyinar : I know, that's stupid.

I can see the usefulness of being able to go back and edit a post. IE : If you said something really really stupid, you could edit it to say '[edit] Okay, what I said was stupid, I was wrong to post it, my bad. [edit]'.

Soldar : Everyone knows that if you don't own up to what you say, people on here will jump down your throat.

Well I can see the point in thinking before you post. But it's hell on Roleplay, cause there's sometimes you just *have* to go back and edit.

No, Khy, I like it that way. If you don't like what you said, make a new post for it. Don't confuse the heck out of others by starting a flame war and ducking out of it.

Now go away.

As for D&D, if the reply already caused the events, what's the use changing it?

lemme explain

I posted that my character dropped from a tree and started following another person's character.

Now that person just posted a really big post about how that character was met by another of that person's characters and they're talking. Ending with the fact that he's short on time and not to interrupt cause he'll finish later.

So I wanted to go back and change my character to never have started to follow his character, since he's made it obvious he doesn't want anyone interacting with that character, since he completely ignored the post I had. I was going to have her go where the other characters were and interact there. But now I can't, cause I can't change my post.

Hope that clarifies.

Bumpity bump so Drys actually sees this.

I want to know if it's possible to not have that on the AD&D boards.

YOU, good Sir, sound like someone that never mastered the art of the "GM Bribe".

I have found that food items normally work well for a bribe. Forget the pizza though, everyone else will try that. Go for other things, like an entire canned chicken, or the hard candy letters that go on top of a birthday cake. Food coloring, edible flowers, or kitty treats for their cat also work well.

Bring a smile to their face, and a tad bit of surealism to their brain, and they will be forgiving of minor mistakes that disrupt the flow of the game. As long as it leads to everyone having a good time.

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

I'll try to get it in the next board update, should be in the next day or two. Right now it's sort of an all-or-nothing deal.

Thanks Drys. I know I'm not the only one it would affect. We all seem to have to go back and change one thing or another days after we post it, cause things come up that interfere. Or Bajah reads something wrong and has to go back and change his GM post, etc.

If I'm not mistaken, Bajah should be able to edit posts outside of the 10 minute restriction, because he's a moderator. If a post urgently needs a change, he can grab it until I get the board change in.

And we probably won't see hide or hair of him again till Tuesday. He spends weekends, etc, with his gf.

Stop the presses. I took a look at the code and was able to quickly hack in an exception for that forum. You should be able to edit back in there now.
