I have read and considered your points. You made a convincing case, so I adjusted the software to limit the available time in which one can edit or delete one's own posts.

And there you have it, from the horse’s mouth.

How long is the window, Boss? And did you change all groups, or just the regular user group?

Thanks for the consideration and policy adjustment. I hope this helps the board’s content continuity, especially with regard to the search function.

Please check your private messages in a minute or so.
And did you change all groups, or just the regular user group?
I changed it in the "Posting" tab, so it's theoretically all groups, but moderators and administrators are exempt from these restrictions anyway. If you find that it's not so, then please send me a PM.

It looks like the rule is no editing of posts past a 2-3 day window.

What’s up with the emoji limit? Did someone ask for that?

First I've heard of it. I don't have admin privileges.

Ok. You can use the board emojis like this:

:twisted: :roll: :!:

But if you use, say emojis from an ipad this happens (I’ll attempt to post three in a row):

🖤 💜 ❤️ <- only one is showing despite having emplaced three hearts

Perhaps it’s a glitch?

edit in order to run an experiment

🖤 * ♥️ * 💜

^ there should be three hearts

> 🖤

🖤

> 🤡 <

🤡 <

🖤 < ❤️ < 💜 <

Huh. I dunno.

:twisted: :x :arrow: :cry: :shock: :( :lol: 8-) :arrow: :arrow:

Board emojis are g2g.

If it helps I can see all three (black purple red), although I do find non-board based emojis can be slow to load. I also have mixed success based on browser use. Between various locations and devices I use a mix of Edge/Chrome/Firefox and emoji display isn't always the same between them

Yep, I inserted a troll emoji from my computer's set. They've worked in the past. Maybe some update to something broke them.
