I have been asking my self this many times, why are we not allowed to edit private messages.
So i decided to make a suggestion about it.
The fact that we cannot edit private messages can be extremely annoying, especially when you are typing something important. For example some time in the past i sent a message to someone, and i accidentally completely messed up the spoiler thingy, then i got mad cause i couldn't fix it! I am sure many of made some mistakes via PM's sometimes and got mad over the fact that you couldn't edit them.
So, is it possible to allow members to edit their own messages and posts on private messages?
Or is it already possible and i am just blind and dumb enough to miss it.

Most likely proboards limitation, but its better that you cant edit them.
So object, if its even possible.

I don’t think this is a suggestion that could be implemented. Even if it could, it would require someone to create a custom plugin using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, since there is no current plugin that I could find that does this.
Object.

I object, and here's why: Let's say I send a PM to mark asking if he likes cheese, and he says no. I would then be able to edit the PM and change it to something like "Do you think X should be admin?" It would look like mark doesn't think X should be admin, which would result in drama. I could do that with inspect element. |

We can't edit private messages because ProBoards does not allow you to do so even with plugins. See this post by ProBoards admin Scott: support.proboards.com/post/6692997/thread. Inspect element is something different: it can always be done and cannot be prevented. I'll close the thread since we have way too many suggestions open and there is no point in discussing if it should be done if it can't be done. |
