    Thanks. :) No biggie if it's veto'd, of course. I'd just feel much more comfortable.

    Yeah - I updated the permissions for Regular Users yesterday to allow it again after discussion in our mod forum. I'm pretty sure it was the upgrade that removed it. We were on such an old version of Xenforo (and the add-on that allows the function) that people had probably requested that the option be controlled by user permissions and the developer changed it.

    Is there any chance that the edit time limit can be increased to 12h or 24h? I can understand the need of a time limit to prevent abuse, but I think giving a day to fix some typos or mistakes can be handy and is not that big of a time period to give to the users. Sometimes a person only notices such things much later.

    I doubt we will do that. However, if you have mistakes or double post you can use the Report function to report it. All of the mods can see what's in the queue.

    Or, proofread your posts so that you don't have typos. ;)

    Looks like our extended outage was caused by a problem with the host, which may or may not be resolved as the alert on the host's status page has not been marked as 'resolved' yet. Our sister site Rebelscum was similarly affected.

    Edit - Issue is now 'resolved' on the status page.

    I've been able to post in regular threads, but not in conversations. Others seem to be able to post in them. I.E., as recently as yesterday a new reply appeared in 2 of them but this a.m., I got "a server error has occurred. Please try again later" message. Thx.

    Can't post in a conversation thread (my PT trivia answer thread with Guidman), due to a 'server error'. This has persisted over the last 3 hours.

    Also can't see any of my watched threads. The page numbers display at the top, but none of the thread titles are visible.

    Now that you others mention it, my watched threads don't appear either. I bookmark that so I can click on them. Yesterday they appeared and there were two I hadn't clicked on but this morning they'd disappeared.

    Yeah, my PMs are messed up, as well... makes me wonder how private they actually are.

    I just realised how much I rely on the watched threads function.

    I am having PM trouble, too. I keep getting a notification saying that someone has sent me a new private message, but oddly, when I try to click to it, it, it just shows me a "page 8" of our conversation with nothing on it. It's done the same on both my iPhone and my laptop. I also tried to post in the said conversation to let the person know what was happening, in case that would somehow make the new message appear (!), but I too got the "server error" message when I tried to do that. Thanks in advance for any advice you may have. @};-

    Yeah, the site says I'm not watching any threads, but I am (or was) watching a few dozen.
    That is, when I click through to all watched threads, rather than just 'active' watched threads (https://boards.theforce.net/watched/threads/all) it says, "You are not watching any threads."

    In some of my PMs I can't see any messages and if I try to post it says, "server error occurred, please try again later", but for other PM's I'm not having a problem...

    Edit: Ah, yeah, my watched threads are messed up too

    Yes, just noticed the same thing on my end, because I just received a PM from someone else (an all-new one, not a response to a preexisting PM thread), and that one worked fine. And ditto on the watched threads.

    My problem seems to be with PMs that were replied to before this started, but that I haven't read yet. Ones that haven't been opened/replied to work fine... is your the same?

    Yes, that one that I could open just came in this morning, and by way of experiment I just tried to open different PM thread from before this started (one without any new messages in it), and it had the problem.
