ROFL!

viva christmas!

btw, my view on co-authors?!... have any take-over authors have access to the first post and the attachments. co-authors are just here to support, not to handle.

I had to bump as no staff member replied on this topic and this is the vBulletin.org Site Feedback.

Anyway, The suggestion, allowing co-authors to edit posts? Wouldn't this pose a security risk? What's stopping a co-author from adding infected files or deleting attachments because they fell out with you over not sending a christmas cards to them. I agree, co-authors should have their moment to shine and reap the install benefits but allowing them editing privileges would cause more harm than good if they have an acute forum of forum rage that would potentially alter attachments uploaded to the system.

There's a good reason why your thread was not answered... the risks outweigh the benefits and could potentially cause headaches for people who download and the people that have coloured usernames.

Edit: Actually I take that back. There's never a good reason not to answer/reply to a suggestion.

Like I said,the co-author could only manage the files and options when the original author gives him the permissions (maybe a checkbox next to co-author name that says like "Can administer?")
