7 day time limit

Post by kturock »

ok. 1st i understand and stand behind the 7 day time limit between posts.

here's my problem.
i went to post and this is waht it says,
"Sorry, your last post was -7 days ago in this forum. The rules require that your new posts are at least 7 days apart.
Please feel free to edit/update your original post until then."

umm isn't that 7 days?

2nd, the link it then gives me to edit that post, doesn't work.

so.....what's up?
Heh, I was called a Grognard. ;-)

It's counting FULL days.

If you posted last Sunday at 3:OO PM, you can't post again until today at 3:01 PM

As far as the link goes... :shrug:

the time you posted it is on the top of the original post.. not sure how to correct for time zone, but it is out there..

2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

I use the Unofficial Porkuslime Trading Guidelines - if you have way less refs.. you ship first.

Folks I am awaiting a ref from.. Zack

yes i understand that part. but when the link doesn't lead to your riginal post, like it seems it should..
then i makes it tougher to chase it down. well.. it's been over 7 days and i reposted..

I believe the new board uses a slightly different format for the address of a post. I guess the post limit mod hasn't been updated to match. The link you get ends with something like:
viewtopic.php?p=74288
If you want to get to your post, change the "p=" part to "t=" and it should work:
viewtopic.php?t=74288

Adam would have to fix the mod on the server for the correct link to get displayed.
I follow the generally accepted practice that the person with the lower rating ships first.

Also, kt, you can always find the post by going to your profile & looking at the links on the right hand side to find the thread you started.

It's not the EASIEST way that it could be, but it'll get the job done.
