This is GREAT for the For Sale forum so OPs can update the first post with items that have sold or updated pricing.

Ok, I've installed this and set several forums to YES to allow editing of the first post indefinitely in the Forum settings. However, I'm getting the same error as Clubvr4 a few posts up. I set the time limit to edit all posts to 1 minute to test it. As long as it's within the minute I can successfully edit posts. I'm on 4.2PL2.

When I disable the plugin the Edit button disappears, and when enabled the edit button is there correctly, I just keep getting the error when clicked.

I just tested this on my 4.2PL2 test forum and it worked just fine. Perhaps you have another modification conflicting with it. Try disabling all your other modifications and then see if it works.

It sure would be nice to have a way to disable all plugins at once, I have quite a few on my test forum.

But, it's still not working. Do I have to set the timeout to 0 somewhere?

No, you should have the timeout set to whatever you would normally like it to be and then enable this modification in the forums you wish the first post to be editable in. The usergroup must, of course, be able to edit posts also.

Yup, it's enabled for each forum and the user has permissions to edit their own posts and I've confirmed that too.

Have you tried with a totally default template and with all other plugins disabled? This really does work just fine on my totally default 4.2PL2 site (no mods and no custom styles).

I just tried it on the default style and I'm getting the same behavior. Is there anything I can do to help debug?

A totally default style with all other plugins disabled? I honestly don't know what the problem could be. As I said, I tested this on my test site with a default style, all other plugins disabled, and it works just fine.

Yup Default style with all other plugins disabled. The same thing appeared to happen to someone else a few posts up too, so I'm not the only one with this problem. I suppose I could install it on my live site since it wasn't causing any problems, it just wasn't working.

Installed on the live site with no other plugins even installed. It's a new site. Custome style though and it appears to be working. I created a thread a few months ago and the timeout is set to 1 day and I was able to edit it. Just weird that it won't work on the test site. I can install this plugin 1st when I bring the live site up to speed with the test site and see which plugin breaks it if you'd like.
