I'm an Administrator AND a Global Moderator AND all the other ranks below that...

Because it is not there. You keep looking at FORUM permissions. Look under MODERATOR permissions, not GLOBAL.

I don't see that at all... Here are my "Groups". I've given GLOBAL permissions to:

Administrators
Global Moderators
MTT Mods
Now where is it I need to go?????

OK, I think I found what you're talking about... Still not working though... When I go to the MCP, click on a post... I only see how to change the poster's name.

Ok, let's try the usual: disable AND delete data, remove from file system, then reinstall and enable, and test again.
You should not need to change any permissions: it uses the same that you have configured for changing post author.

remove from file system

Uhmmm, huh?

Just in case any file had been damaged, so that the new copy is fresh.
There should be no need for this, yes, but just in case...

Well for whatever bizarre reason, that worked.

Glad it worked. I myself cannot tell why.

Is it the same issue that madamimadam had reported?

By the way, while you are at it, you might as well test 1.0.1 version, that is in the validation queue.
Minimum changes, and one bug fix: if host timezone and moderator timezone are different, now it handles times consistently.

Hi! JSYK, my board crashed last month and we lost all our posts from November 2016 on. I had to repopulate the gap which of course needed to have the thousands of posts dates edited to retain the chronology! Your extension has been a godsend...

Just one quick point though... You are using a 24 hour clock which works fine for me... I'm Canadian! LOL!

Except that from 1 p.m. on you added TEN hours and not TWELVE...

So 1 p.m. should be 13h - yours is 11h
2 p.m. should be 14h - yours is 12h
and so on and so forth...

Has that issue been fixed in your 1.0.1 version?

My board is now completely up-to-date and the time was not a big issue for me, as I was more concentrated on date.

Just thought I'd let you know!

Thanks again for your amazing extension!

I will have to check. It should not behave like that... But it might be a formatting issue.
Have you tested with 1.0.1? The changes are precisely related to time calculation (to take into account the timezones when different from the moderator to the board), so if it was wrong, it might very well be solved at the same time .

EDIT: I am quite confident that the issue happened because the server is in a different timezone than the moderator changing the posts, and that the issue was not related to the time of the day (it happened also before noon, but you might not have noted it). In any case, I will review it again.

Richard installed the 1.0.1 version this morning and the problem IS fixed.... Thank you!!!!!!

Glad to know!
