Can we please have permanent editing of first posts like other forums?

That is all. Threads grow, become years old and 200 pages long, and it would be incredibly helpful, especially in DIY heavy subforums, to be able to keep information curated and up-to-date in the top post.

Even just something as simple as this https://xenforo.com/community/resources/first-post-edit-time-limit.3758/

"A simple add-on to allow a user group to edit their first post in a thread for either an unlimited period of time or a different amount of time than a normal post."

Thanks.

I'd bet they have a deal with federal agencies so users can't edit or delete posts.....

@sunni you're obviously around atm, why not answer the question and but an end to it.
Also why can't someone delete their entire account if they wish?

In sorry I'm currently in the middle of moving my house if you click my avatar you'll see I'm "out of office" meaning my responses may or may not come when I have time

The short is we've always had an editing time line since we began and that's what's stuck We aren't changing it

And we also have never deleted accounts

This can be all found again via search button

@sunni I didn't know about the in or out of the office and the question was why can't we delete our own accounts if we so choose not if you have ever deleted an account.
Didn't know about the move,I won't bother you anymore.

You're not bothering me just letting you know there's a reason I haven't answered

And that's how we get threads like this one: https://www.rollitup.org/t/led-grow-light-companies-w-links.914717/

Poor guy put together a mega-list of vendors to update regularly, then realized he had 12 hours to edit. Well, fuck.

It's not a good thing not to change, just ask the internet since this site started. There are problems that can be solved by having curated top posts, but whatever. I'll just crawl back to the LED subforum, which changes daily with technology, filled with original research from dozens of members spread out over thousands of pages, each screenshot just slight more updated than the last, impossible to search or make sense of.
