Belatucadrus Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Two of the control buttons for posts appear to have gone AWOL, can't see edit or delete anywhere. Is this intentional ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted April 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 So we now get to pay £5 for basic edit facilities that up to now were free ? Or am I reading it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Not quite Belatucadrus. You get the following additions to your basic account. I think it's quite good value for money and taking out the option is one way of supporting the forum, but its not mandatory, any member can stay with the basic functions if they wish. :) -10MB Storage For Attachments-Edit Topic Title / Description-Delete Your Own Posts-Store Up To 250 Private Messages-Add Attachments to Private Messages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 I'm quite happy with it, it's cheap at half the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 I think it's an excellent idea, and I have no problem with paying £5 a year to help with the cost of this site. I also like the idea of being able to delete my own posts as it saves me having to ask a Moderator or Administrator to do it for me (usually Djohn :rolleyes: )Also I like the idea of being able to alter my Topic headings, as sometimes I post a question and it gets resolved, and so adding the wording "(RESOLVED)" would indicate that the topic has actually been resolved.Edit:A further couple of questions:After contributing, my username colour has turned green, and so is this to let you know that you are a current subscriber?Secondly, is it our duty to keep our subscriptions up to date or would Neo Planet remind us before it is due to expire? (as I am quite a forgetful person) Just curious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 So I noticed Curly. I'll check with Craig but think its to show your a full member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 A further couple of questions:After contributing, my username colour has turned green, and so is this to let you know that you are a current subscriber?Secondly, is it our duty to keep our subscriptions up to date or would Neo Planet remind us before it is due to expire? (as I am quite a forgetful person) Just curious!Hi CurlyWhirly!The green is indeed to show you and others that you are a NP subscriber!Secondly, you can keep track of your subscription status via your control panel. Their isn’t any notification of when you subscription runs out, and like wise I don’t get the notification either. However you are not down graded until I notice that you have "expired" and at which point I will send out a renewal notice. I'll remember to start checking subscriptions in 12 months!Craig.

nellie2 Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Belatucadrus, to answer your original question. The delete button is only available to subscribers. (Gotta give them something to play with! :D ) The edit function is limited to 60 minutes. So if you make a spelling mistake or something like that then you can edit your post as long as you do it within 60 minutes.If you do post something and then have second thoughts then you can always contact a mod and they will delete it for you. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Wouldn't it make more sense to have searching subscription-restricted, and PM's? Searching especially is server-intensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadyassa Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Wouldn't it make more sense to have searching subscription-restricted, and PM's? Searching especially is server-intensive.I would agree with that option, an edit button is a must for a doddery old f¿rt like me, spelling and senior moments wise.And living in Spain i cant post subs and i aint using paypal :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nellie2 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 As I said, the edit button is available for 60 minutes after posting. You will find that a lot of forums restrict edit times, some forums I work you only have 15 minutes :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djohn Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Have you placed a tick in the British summer time box dadyassa? We have to in the UK but I think anyone outside of the UK should leave it at GMT+ plus their respective time difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
