Ah that would explain things, it was just me being dim and not having noticed this before.
Cheers Rich.

How long has there been a time limit? As you need the edit button to be able to delete posts, and we all know people who have deleted some/all of
their history on here 
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

The limit is 48 hours. The function was added to stop people throwing their toys out of the pram and deleting all their posts.

Big brother is at it again...
Suppose someone wants to leave and have their posts deleted a request for out of date information to be deleted under the data protection act should
suffice.

Their "data" isn't protected under DP laws because it's already public.

It seems a little big brotherish to me too.
The size of avatars (except ChrisW's which looks bigger than the rest)
The avatar itself (no girls incase people not working whilst at work get caught)
The lenght of time a post can be edited (why shouldn't someone throw their toys out of their pram?)
What ever next, only people with a certain type of thought profile are allowed to post? If it isn't enough that we have a government that wants
to monitor and judge our every move we have a car forum doing it too. Leave the thing alone please.

Wow, I realised I missed a 'y' luckily I got in before the 'site police' banned me from doing so.

The problem is, when someone who started a thread throws their toys out of the pram and deletes the whole thread, all the effort that other people who
replied put in to making useful knowledge public gets lost. Is that fair?

In my opinion this site is run by some people who kindly donate there time in providing this service. They don't have to but they do. I am
sure they make zero profit from it as well. So we just have to abide by their rules, and fair they are to.
For example if I had a rule that everyone had to stand on there head when they came into my house, guess what? You'd have to stand on your
because its my house. Their site, their rules. The end.
This talk of site rules and regs and avatar site is boring anyway.

Exactly why the function is there.

This 'rule' has been in place for some time now. We are, therefore, doing exactly what you suggest!

I wouldn't be so sure, and our supreme overload didn't pick up on your comment and confirm he is so generous in giving his time for
nothing...

Except your location, web address, email address and date of birth is in the profile page... has the definition of personal data changed since I last
checked?

All of which is optional data, and ISN'T covered by the edit time limit, which means you can remove it at any time.

The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

The size of avatars (except ChrisW's which looks bigger than the rest)....It's his site, and an admin perk......
The avatar itself (no girls incase people not working whilst at work get caught)....No one said NO girls ....just ones that didn't cause
other people...(not just those at work) problems.......a lot of sites don't allow avatars at all!
The lenght of time a post can be edited (why shouldn't someone throw their toys out of their pram?)......This is a car builders site, if
posts go missing and make a thread 'nonsense', then what is the use of having a 'car builders' site?
What ever next, only people with a certain type of thought profile are allowed to post? If it isn't enough that we have a government that wants

Steve
Wow, I realised I missed a 'y' luckily I got in before the 'site police' banned me from doing so...... Do please tell me
exactly when either ChrisW or myself have ever picked anyone up on their spelling or grammar?....(I have a dyslexic/dyspraxic son so I am far more
tolerant than most)....yet alone banned anyone for doing so....
