Unlocking nursery threads original post?
« on: April 14, 2021, 07:58:04 PM »
Sorry to post this here but I've reached out to three admins and can't seem to reach anyone (blocked by FFF?).

I'm trying to open my nursery thread's original post to post as required by the forum rules, although my initial post is locked.  Can any admins help me out?

Thanks

Nate

I think the settings changed at some point. I tried to revive some old sales posts and ended up making new ones.

Assuming you were referring to the post linked above, it is not locked.  I replied to it

Yeah good point. That secure server switch maybe changed things up. 

Thanks bsbullie, I'm trying to unlock the very first post though so I can keep a thread like Marcos, to list my new offerings in the first post.

Thank you both!

Bump bump bump

Still no word from mods or admins? 

I see Bellamytrees is capable of editing his original post. Any updates on a fix for this?

Thanks

I am guessing after a certain time lapse they become locked.  I have boomer tier web skills and currently crawling though arch linux and attempting to make a zero bloat html website for my nursery/experimental grove/photo database. There are a few developer/IT guys that post here so maybe we can at least get a expiration time line to help keep the repeat sellers nice and tidy "storefront" pages open.

I changed the settings a few months ago to limit editing of posts after a certain time. I did that because a member with a few hundred posts account was stolen and every post was replaced with a spam link.

I want to keep a happy balance between preventing spam and allowing members to edit their sales posts.

Any suggestions? I think I have it currently set at 6 months.

Ahh that totally makes sense.  I think six months seems like a pretty reasonable amount of time. 
Is it possible to unlock individual posts at the request of the Original Poster if six months is passed?

Thanks Murahilin
