Need help for forum usage/rights issues

[fslateef]

Hi,

I need help with forum usage and rights issues. I can't edit my posted messages ? And how I can mark thread started by me as SOLVED ? I recently started two threads and both are now SOLVED but I can't edit them or mark them SOLVED

Please help me in this regard.

Thanks

Fawad Lateef

P.S trying to do a quick edit to test as suggested, also I can select best answer the problem was with selection of best answer I have to create question thread not discussion thread. Yesterday I figured the out. This is the first time I saw these types of threads like question, discussion and poll and I like it

You should be able to edit your post by using the Edit (left button) or Quick Edit (middle button).


You can't mark your own responses as best answer, but if nobody else has replied, and yours is the best answer, a moderator can select it as best answer.

I used left button to EDIT (obviosuly this is not the first time I am using any forum); but whenever I try to post my edited response I always get "You are not allowed to edit this message error". Also I can't see any option to select best answer, even I can't do thumbs up/down for anyone.

There is some issue with my account permission I think. Can you have a look at it please ?

 

[aford10]

I don't have access to user permissions. However, this sounds like a common issue when someone's post gets put in the UK forum. The rights aren't the same between the US and UK forums.

 

[fslateef]

Is this the way it should be ?

 

[aford10]

Well, not really, but that's the way it is. The UK forum has some issues. With the upgrade to the forum coming, not much work has been done to resolve issues such as the UK forum.

Just on the Edit button issue, that happens frequently but the Quick Edit button does allow you to change and post the revised post back to the Forum.

Thanks saga lout, that quick edit thing worked. I edited my first post

For your [Solved] think you might need to connect a moderator to say, or the like. Not sure what all extents of forum moderation might be here myself.

Having a solved for yourself might be a good idea and useful, but with probably an idea of use of thread with others there might be an interest of solved at times to say. Rather believable to say or not, or actually an interest for difference i dont know. To say a place of interest hasn't had a place for say of difference probably not. But most threads and posts would say so, yes? Maybe not.
