I can't? So do I use a different forum site then?thecoalman wrote: ↑Sun Aug 07, 2022 8:22 pm It would certainly be possible but the continuity of it will be problematic. You can't for example have a poll mid topic.
Note that if you add or remove options to a poll it resets the poll. You can only edit existing options without resetting it.Random American wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 3:42 am Polls can be edited and deleted as well, so it is also possible to just post the poll results and then create a new poll as needed. The main limitation is that the poll will always be at the top of the topic.
Disabling post deletions and an extension can allow the storage of post revisions can get around that. https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... revisions/ with permissions set to prevent users from managing and deleting revisions.thecoalman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 10:59 amThere is a few options but the big hurdle is the limitations of the edit time limit. You can leave this disabled but that runs the risk of someone getting angry and deleting all their content, this can leave topics they have participated in useless and is not fair to others who participated.
Just allow soft deleting. Users won't know.thecoalman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 10:59 am

The issue I'm referring to is the limitations of global edit time limit. It's all or nothing.
While it may be useful for some boards, an edit limit is not a requirement, and in general, would probably be a bad idea to implement on a questing site. In fact, most phpBB boards I'm on don't have an edit limit, and they're doing alright.thecoalman wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 1:12 amThe issue I'm referring to is the limitations of global edit time limit.
