madweazl December 21, 2018 Share December 21, 2018 Used to be able to edit the first post in the build threads but I'm not seeing that option any more; was this a change from the upgrade or am I just blind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami December 21, 2018 Share December 21, 2018 That capability was the result of customized code. Every time we performed minor upgrades, we (I) had to go back and edit a number of files to reimplement that code. It was customized code that made it very difficult for us to stay current, exposing us to security issues and support problems. In fact, we got to the point where our installation was no longer supported by the manufacturer.The new code is totally stock. We hope that, in the long run, it's easier to secure and maintain. I may ask the manufacturer to consider adding the feature to a future release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanM December 22, 2018 Share December 22, 2018 I installed a plugin that I think should enable this ability on the Dedicated Tank Build forum as well as all of the WTB/WTS forums. I can't test it out because I'm a moderator and can edit pretty much everything, but can you try it out madweazl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madweazl December 23, 2018 Author Share December 23, 2018 It works Able to edit the first post and the rest are still locked; thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM December 23, 2018 Share December 23, 2018 Great, glad it's working! The plugin has lots of other little tweaks to these boards that I may play with, but the big benefit will be that we don't have to stay on the same version or risk our custom mods to the code.
