I have lost my ability to edit previous posts???

Morning, I checked your permissions and noticed that the edit button is still there (see image screen shot below)

Can you click this and see if things are working on your end?

Thanks,
Bryan (vtcnc)

The edit button appears on this thread but not on any others! Look at some of my older posts. Is there now a time delay so that older posts cannot be edited maybe?

Interesting Metal Work I have Seen

I gonna try this thread hoping that people will progressively add to it. I think this could provide good ideas and inspiration for creative projects. Kind of like an internal Pinterest. I will kick it off with some things I saw in Park City. I like functional art. Robert

Robert,

Click on the Donations tab in the middle of the main tool bar at top of screen. Middle of the screen on my monitor is a row named Editing Time (min). That is supposed to be the number of minutes after the first save during which the various donation levels can go back and edit their posts. Note that Gold members ($25) have 2880 minutes which is 48 hours or 2 days. That means that under any post older than 2 days, there should not appear the Edit button. If you were previously able to edit older than 2 day-old posts, your permissions must have accidentally been set to the wrong level. I don't remember when this was first set up to these numbers but it was definitely several years ago. I would guess that whomever accepted your donation last year clicked the wrong button somewhere.
 
I'll have to look into this and confer with staff who have been around longer than me on this point. I don't see any good reason why a donating member shouldn't be able to edit their posts sometime in the future.

Yes, I could always edit my old posts indefinitely prior to last week. I did not realize there were differences in donation levels like this. I see the image size varies also.

Click to expand...
Apparently I have never looked at the "donations" tab. There are other ways to get to "Donate" such as through your account settings under "Membership Level." That is how I donated.
In looking at the donation table, there is a line for Max Image Size with columns that read 600 x 600, 1200 x 1200 and unlimited.
Also, how can I figure out when my 12 months expires?
Thanks for your reply,
Robert
 
My account page does not specify my donation level at all. It does not have that listed at the bottom like your does. After reviewing my PayPal transactions I think my donation must have expired. I can find older ones but not one in the last year.
I think I will just go ahead and donate $50 at this time!
Thanks
Robert
