[Mr. Flay]

It should either be deleting older PMs, or putting new ones on hold, until you get down below the limit. But I'll bump it back up for now, see if they become recoverable.

[Porochaz]

I checked its still there. Wickedestjr also has the same problem. We are also both modding games in NY atm.

[Mr. Flay]

Are either of you running other types of games? I'll try to compare and contrast...

[ReaperCharlie]

Boooooooooooo where are my PMs.

[Mr. Flay]

I checked its still there. Wickedestjr also has the same problem. We are also both modding games in NY atm.

I checked and can literally find no difference between your privs in NY and your privs in Little Italy. I'm mystified.

[Porochaz]

K so I checked all 4 games Im in. A mini theme, a large normal, a large theme and an invitational (in mini normal territory) and for some reason the only place I cant edit is your game (the large theme). The rest I could potentially edit which is weird as I havent modded anything in the mini normal area ever.

[Nobody Special]

My understanding of Groups is that Mini Mods are in the same group, whether you're modding a theme or a normal.

[Porochaz]

Oh and Im running a Large Normal and a mini theme.

[Mr. Flay]

You're a member of Capodecima, which is the mod group for both Mini Themes and Mini Normals, that's why.

I checked it against Theme Park, just to be sure; you don't have any edit privs there, like I expected.

[Porochaz]

Ok so I just have to be trusted not to edit my posts?

[Mr. Flay]

Apparently. Out of curiosity, have you tried clicking the button and seeing if the priv actually works beyond the button being there?

(obviously, don't actually do anything with it)

Because when I inherit your privs, I don't see the button, which makes me wonder if your browser is somehow caching the button.

[Porochaz]

Yes I can get onto the edit screen

[Mr. Flay]

Damn, there goes that theory.

[Nobody Special]

Is there any possibility that we could get View Your Posts added to the jump bar (bottom of page)?

[/lazy]

[Mr. Flay]

I... don't think so. It's not a forum, after all.

Or do you just mean a link somewhere at the bottom of the page? Where would you put it, offhand??

[Nobody Special]

I meant actually in the jump thing, but I can see how that may not work with it not being a forum.

Can it be put centered in between the jump bar and "< Return to xxx"? Or perhaps in the footer (probably the wrong term) with Board Index|Subscribe link|Bookmark link ?

And, since I'm probably the only person here that even wants this, feel free to make it low (as in subterranean) priority.

[Mr. Flay]

The more I think about it, with our long pages, the more I think we should just copy the entire

Code: Select all

User Control Panel • View your posts              • Search • Wiki • FAQ • Members • Logout 

line to the footer. That would give NS what he's looking for, as well as the other major links, without having to scroll up.

[Nobody Special]

An excellent solution.

[TonyMontana]

When I try to delete someones post in my game it says I can only delete my own posts.

When i try to delete my own posts, it says I can only delete posts that haven't been replied to.

Neither should be true, right?

[Mr. Flay]

Neither should be true, but there's a fiddly bit with permissions that makes it true for now. Eventually it will be like the edit priv - you can only do it to your own games.

[Fenchurch]

The more I think about it, with our long pages, the more I think we should just copy the entire

Code: Select all

User Control Panel • View your posts              • Search • Wiki • FAQ • Members • Logout 

line to the footer. That would give NS what he's looking for, as well as the other major links, without having to scroll up.

Personally, I'd like a link to the forum main page at the bottom. That's usually where I want to go when I'm done reading a thread, rather than just 'Return to Help'.

Would it be possible to copy something like: 'Board index › Administration › Help!', as well as the other stuff that you mentioned?

Also, YAY on the new vote tag formatting! It's been a while, but I never said that.

[Nobody Special]

Of note: Today, for the first time (since the move?) I clicked on the unread icon for this thread and it took me to the first unread post rather than the top of the current page.

[Fenchurch]

Actually.. now I've discovered the "View your posts" link, I am using that a lot more than the main index

I use the unread icon all the time

[ReaperCharlie]

Of note: Today, for the first time (since the move?) I clicked on the unread icon for this thread and it took me to the first unread post rather than the top of the current page.

That little orange folded page icon probably accounts for 3/4 of my clicks on the site.

[Nobody Special]

Of note: Today, for the first time (since the move?) I clicked on the unread icon for this thread and it took me to the first unread post rather than the top of the current page.

My apologies, I got threads confused. The thread that was wonky is the Post-conversion FAQ thread (the global announcement thread). This thread never had that problem. (Therefore, the global-sticky thread still has the problem. I just clicked in it, and realized my mistake.)

ETA: Arrgh. The quote above is unclear; I always use the unread icon button; what "for the first time" refers to is the place to which my browser took me, but then, the point is moot now anyway. (I just don't want anyone to think I just discovered the unread icon. I use it constantly.)
