Ooh, do you think they changed something? A post I’ve been editing for months has become uneditable since I last edited it. :frowning: I was thinking maybe too much time had passed since last edit
 But there have been long pauses before, too
 :confused:

Something was absolutely changed.

If that’s any consolation.

It must be an issue, not a feature.

They just can’t, so they wouldn’t.

Not after giving Reading topics 10 years to live.

At least it means I can stop wondering and trying to figure it out, so in a way it is. :woman_shrugging:

Here’s to hoping they change it back soon!

I got “too much editing” notifications on ć‹‰ćŒ·ă—ăŸă—ă‚‡ă†thread. Then, worst, I couldn’t edit titles as regular a while ago i posted it somewhere deep down inside the forbidden jungle.

These notifications made me draft on my Notes then copy paste to this forum and it ca’t solve this edit problem if we want to edit a post later. :pensive:

Wikis can apparently still be edited, I forgot to mention.

Discourse added a new setting for trust levels 0 and 1 (all of you are surely 2 or 3), but maybe they broke something along the way.

We’re all Reggies. (Name can should be changed.)

Also, wasn’t that why someone was banned? :joy:

Also also, shouldn’t, uh, you know, WaniKani know these changes are coming (since it’s the platform they use and all), and tell us in advance, even if they’re fixing it? Maybe?

Surely they got a notification somewhere?

I’m guessing changing all existing posts to default (regardless of trust level), and only applying the new rule to new posts. Or something like that?

Past issues show they have no idea. They are being hosted by Discourse, which means they always get the latest version without a say on the matter. They could keep up with the release notes, but seriously, who does that anyway?

For editing posts while they were muted, yes. Which is what I was thinking is the answer to your original question, though I wasn’t going to mention it. But since you already have, yeah, I’m guessing that’s why we can’t edit posts after x amount of time. Though, I don’t know for sure.

A simpler solution would be to prevent edit if silenced, though. :thinking:

I concur. I wasn’t implying it was a good solution. Just that it’s possibly the reasoning behind it.

My guess is that Discourse renamed the setting and lost the previous setting value for all sites. WaniKani staff could probably set it again easily and have it apply for all posts.

I don’t know if your “Who does that?” was sarcastic, but


People running a site using said latest version. :slight_smile:

Nah, but, people are already banned for that.
Trust level and all that that has been mentioned.

The reason for removing PMs was that mods don’t read PMs unless there’s a problem, privacy, issues, etc, but also that they mostly relied on the community to moderate itself, which we’ve seen in the recent past or something, maybe, and this just goes, “Nah, no one can do X.”
(Replying to why you thought it was done.)

Which I’m never saying it’s WaniKani purposefully doing something negative, but something that was overlooked, probably.

I see where they messed up the change and it’s as I expected. I asked about it so we’ll see what they say. Either way, after we get a response from them we can ping Viet and oldbonsai to fix it here if necessary. Probably best to wait in case Discourse just fixes it on their end.

I imagine you can only edit Wikis by being above a certain trust level? (Member, really)
If not, then they also overlooked that, perhaps.

You the man, btw.

No, that was a highly unfortunate bug we did not catch before rolling it out. If you check GitHub history I think it has been fixed @rimian?

Nope.

But how can I cope if I can’t edit all of my mistakes?!?!?!? :nauseated_face:

But I just edited this.

Don’t edit my titiles, please.

The no editing is after a month, from what I’ve seen.

Which is mainly for reading threads, study logs, and anything of the sort that needs constant revising of the OP.
