Example: I have a post with a youtube video that youtube took down. Now it shows a blank video. I would like to replace the video with the one I have but it won't allow me to edit my post. Brings me to this point. When I put wrong pic, video or any other graphic into a post and realize my mistake so I go to edit and delete it and I can't replace it with another, it won't allow it. Used to be able to but not any more. Can all this be fixed? Edited May 8, 2020 by Angelz J3st3r 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer your first question - simply it gets abused in many different ways and as such it is easier and more manageable to put a time limit on editing. To your second point, can you provide some more information. Are you talking about when you are editing that this happens or when you are creating a new topic/post/PM and have not yet created the content? Never-mind I re-read the post. I will have a look at that. Edited May 8, 2020 by Sitting-Duc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

It was so much nicer when doing a sig for someone to overwrite the other one so I didn't have to make several posts with updated ones.

Created a topic with an image. Then went back and edited the post, deleted the image and added a new one. Works fine for me so can you provide some more detail/screenshot perhaps showing the error so I can understand better. The editing timeout has been this way for a considerable length of time so unsure why it is only an issue now. Either way I see no real benefit of changing it.

I go back to edit, delete it and when I try to repost another one in its place it won't let me. I actually have to make a new post to add another one.

It won't let me replace it with a new one once I have deleted the old one in the post. I do get a pop up but I can't remember what it says.

What it did show was the link for the one I deleted in between the 2 pictures. The other part is it now only shows the one picture where you can delete the pics. If you can you can go into my pms and see it. It is the first pm on my list. Also I am getting an error when I am trying to post the pictures into a post even though they can show up in the post.

That means it could be permissions related or something compatibility wise. Do you know of anyone else who has had the issue where we could try and make a correlation?

Been so long I truly can't remember. It used to be I could overwrite a previous one but now I have to make several posts to show updated sigs, pictures or videos. This is also happening in PM's. If it's a permission thing then that's ok. I accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I am at a loss as without being able to reproduce it I can do nothing easily.. reproducing it means log verbosity can be changed and errors captured. And without an error I can't really go to IPS with a bug/issue. The component that IPS uses for the WYSIWYG editor is the same in the forums as PMs so that makes sense whatever the issue is affects all. By permissions I was more implying that perhaps it is something that only effects registered users due to differing configuration, that is why it would be useful to get an understanding of how many people this effects.
