I cant modify my posts!

I just updated my WIP game and wanted to update the download link on the original post, but theres no option to modify it!

When I go to more recent posts theres an option there. Why can I not modify the original post? ???

That is very strange, I normally modify my posts to share the latest image.

Perhaps there was a change?

I wanted to update the image and download but I can not… there seems to be some change. @Riven what happened?

Your topic was idle for 180 days, so it was locked. I’ll add WIP to the boards that won’t be locked automatically.

This is pretty strange though, since only his post was 180 days old, not the whole topic… (maybe we should calculate the ‘oldness’ of topics by the time from the last post?)

That’s already supposed to happen. :persecutioncomplex:

Hm… the topic is not locked in the first place, so I’m not sure what’s going wrong here.

Problem solved :point:

Thank you Riven ;D

Being perpetually curious… what was the problem? :slight_smile:

Earlier I configured SMF to make editing posts impossible after 180 days, as some members try to hide the mess they create by altering pretty much all their posts. As that happened three times recently, I added that restriction.
Then I realized I could create similar but better functionality by writing a cronjob that locked topics, which looked at the latest post in a thread. Needless to say I forgot to disable that SMF feature…
