newbb2 rc2 edit old post question

in newbb 1, i can login to edit my old posts (no longer how old in days they are). yet in newbb 2 rc2, i found that only in the first login session of mine can i edit my post just submitted. not only can i not edit my older posts, but i lose access to editing my newest post if i logout and relogin: that is, my second login session deprives me of the access to editing my post in the first session, despite however short the interval between the two sessions.

are there any ways for me to give registered users access to editing their older posts? or is this simply part of new features of the newbb 2 rc2 so that only site admin is entitled to editing older posts?

thank you for your kind help in advance.

There is a edit_timelimit for users editing their own posts (if he CAN edit)
The value is 60 minutes by default.

thank you, phppp, for your quick reply.

can the time limit be extended, say, to a week or a month?

again, my thanks for your kind help.

=======================================================

sorry for my naivety. i just checked the module setting. what a fool i am! the setting of timelimit is already there, plain and simple like under the sun.

thank you for your kind lead.

Hi,

Is there a way to completly remove it. In fact, why should I be limited in the time to edit my own posts ?
Or may be I missed something ?

Bye,
Hervé

If you set the time limit to 0, then there's no time limit.

The time limit does not apply to module administrators.

Also, there was a bug in this area:
http://dev.xoops.org/modules/xfmod/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1133&group_id=1001&atid=104

That may be fixed in RC2, but I'm not sure.
