The Editing tab allows you to specify editing properties for forum posts - such as whether or not users must enter notes when they edit a post, or whether notes are posted at the bottom of posts.
To access the Editing page:
- Mouse over Management.
- Click Administration.
- Navigate to Applications > Forum > Options > Editing.
- Set the Editing page properties:
- Require Edit Notes check box - Disabled by default. Forces users to enter notes about why they edited a post.
- Display Edit Notes check box - Disabled by default. Displays the contents of any applicable post edit notes at the bottom of the post.
- Edit Post Body Age Limit (in minutes) - Changing this value allows the body of a post to be edited only for that time frame. Entering a value of 60 will only allow the post to be updated for 60 minutes after the post was originally made. To unrestrict this feature, leave the setting at the default of -1 minutes. (Or restrict deletion.)
- Delete Post Age Limit - The age of a post before it becomes deleted. Entering 0 restricts deletion. Negative 1 does not restrict deletion.
- Click Save to apply the settings.
