An option for excluding forums will be really nice
Many thanks

I really REALLY need it to exclude FORUMS from the time limit. I have some classifieds forums that I would like users to be able to edit and/or delete their posts from without effecting the entire board (other discussion forums). Any chance of that happening??

I think it's possible to exclude some forum.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply! I don't see that option in the screenshots you've posted. How/where would one be able to apply the option for excluding a particular forum instead of a usergroup?

[Asterix_ita]

We misunderstood, the current version was not provided but there will be the next;

the function you requested is being tested, these days I should be able to release version 1.0.2

[LauraM]

Oh, I see. Thank you very much for the explanation and your efforts to provide this option. I will keep an eye on this thread and watch for the new version!

[Asterix_ita]

released v.1.0.2

- remove change time limit (will create an addon for this function)
- add option exclude forum

[LauraM]

Wow! Thanks! You're amazing!

Going to download it now!

[LauraM]

Okay, I downloaded it, and installed it, and chose the forums I want to exclude from the time limit ........and I chose the usergroups I want to exclude underneath the forum exclude option, leaving blank the usergroups I wanted to give the ability to use this option to. And I logged in as a regular user and accessed a thread I created for testing purposes several days ago. While logged in as that user, I DO have the option to delete a thread......but when I tried to actually use that option and delete a thread, I got the error message:

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

What am I missing?

[LauraM]

Never mind, I think I've got it. I was using the thread tools deletion option, and not the option to delete under the first post's "edit" button.

[LauraM]

Okay, got it working now and it's fabulous! Thanks so much!
