Albert Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 I'll look into the date/time formatting issues, since I was under the impression that local formatting would be used (but I could be wrong). I cannot change the relative dates, apparently there is quite a bit of logic behind that and the absolute dates. I'm not going to dive into the code to try and change it. As someone pointed out, you can hover over a relative date and it will show you the local time/date. I will post in their feedback forum to make this available as an option, but I suspect if they've resisted doing this for four years (this software came out in 2015), they're not going to change it now. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said above, no biggie. Though most other international forums I visit allow defining the date time format. Weird. And funny how extremely different personal preferences are. ?

Pheonix Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Don't know if there's been a previous comment on this, 21 pages & I don't have time before I leave to read through every last one sorry. Is there a check mark or switch somewhere so that a subscribed thread doesn't send me an email for every single response (not referring to changing it to once a day or such?) Before, I would get an e-mail on a post, then no more from that thread (even if 20 more posts occur,) until I've visited the thread again. Resetting the subscription. It's not really a major problem, it's just a minor bother is all. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Tapatalk in that it's a pretty fast way to browse and post on forums (and I've used it on several forums, including AtariAge). However, I'm less than impressed with some of their design decisions as well as buggy releases. Will definitely spend some time looking at it before I decide to install it here or not. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 The Indefinite Post Editing plugin has been completed and installed. Any posts that I previously granted "indefinite editing" rights to should now be honored again. And as before, if you need permission to edit a particular post, please let me know and I or another mod can do that for you. It's easier for us to toggle as well. Still waiting on the other half of this, which is giving certain forums the ability to allow any authors to edit their posts indefinitely (like the programming and marketplace subforums). I should have this soon. ..Al 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 This is because the Homebrew Discussion forum is one of those were the "indefinite editing" flag was set, so any posts in that forum could be edited by their authors.

No problem, it is a bit confusing and is a somewhat unique situation on this forum. Wouldn't have been necessary to do all this if people didn't abuse (repeatedly) the post edit functionality. I think most sites these days only allow you too edit a post/comment for a short period of time to correct any initial issues with the post (such as spelling errors). After that, it's fixed in stone. That's not terribly flexible, though, and I wanted to give people the ability to edit posts where it's reasonable to do so. ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
