david 914 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) It seems like there is a limit to editing posts. Maybe you can only edit it one time or maybe there is a time limit in which you are allowed to edit it, or maybe both. Testing editing this now. I was able to edit it multiple times. So there is probably just a time limit. A longer time limit would be nice. Edited October 28, 2019 by david Quote Link to post Share on other sites
magicafternoon 38 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Settings will not let me change my username. Says I have to wait 30 days. My username was magicafternoon. Please fix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 1,435 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I'm ok with the 30 day username change to avoid people being silly (that wasnt an accident like I assume hidden50), but this 5 minute edit kinda lame. Please set that for unlimited unless there's a reason not to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Please set that for unlimited unless there's a reason not to. I am also think the 30 day username change is okay (usually changing user name on a forum is not even allowed), but if the username has changed because of the new forum software, the user should have been allowed to change the username at least once and not after 30 days. The reason of time limit is to prevent the users to modify their messages after a reply arrived or after months because of changing mind. That case other messages would also look strange. The duration of time limit is another question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_DW_ 628 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Yeah I get the edit time but 5min is way to short needs a few days then locked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If in that range it could just as well be open. I think the best solution is to allow edits freely. But to keep an open history of the edits. And whenever anyone wants to quote something 'controversial', it is a good idea to use the actually Quote-function. So things does not look bad. IDEA: Perhaps it would be an good if a post lost any positive smiley-reactions on edit - for the case where people change something fundamentally (keep any sad and confused). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I say days because some people only drop in once and wouldn't ever be able to edit. I agree having a history to a post is enough. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems to just be a spam blacklist for previous bad history, which doesn't affect HTTP traffic. We use Office 365 for outgoing emails anyway. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They got a form to request removal http://barracudacentral.org/rbl/removal-request (rather funny that it is http and not https BTW) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is. I can access all other parts of the website and the old forum without vpn. checked 3 different isp's and my cell network, all the same. Not sure how i can check if it is local isp that is blocking the site. Usually if it is so, it shows a message. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To see if it is a wide block on a range, try this site, that has an IP quite close by: butterfly-conservation.org (This site is -hidden-,, that site is -hidden-,) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We’re going to setup a cloudflare proxy, which should in theory bypass whatever block is causing this. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
