    ATTN: Sonic

    Hate to be a bitch, but:
    • Why does the forum text editor not have strikethrough? Seriously under-rated text decoration, mang.
    • Why can't users delete their own posts? Sometimes I say stupid **** that I can't think of any smart **** to replace.
    • We should totally have YouTube tags, too.
    • Isn't it funny how I can't say ****, but I can say ****bacon?
    • Can it be made so members of the cool kids club can edit the title of their own thread?


    Just a suggestion/curiousity. Or five.

      All suggestions within reason welcome I think though a lot of things are being noted but the real kick off will be when we move to V4

          Just not documented, but it's available.

        • Why can't users delete their own posts? Sometimes I say stupid **** that I can't think of any smart **** to replace.

          Because users deleting their own posts can disrupt the flow of a thread. If they don't want something posted, don't post it. If you want something removed, it will be done so at the discretion of a mod.

        • We should totally have YouTube tags, too.

          Yes, what's the syntax?

        • Isn't it funny how I can't say ****, but I can say ****bacon?

          ****bacon isn't a swearword as far as i'm aware. If users want to be clever, the mods will take care of them, and their "creativity" will be "rewarded".

        • Can it be made so members of the cool kids club can edit the title of their own thread?

          Yeah, the thread title should be changed when you change the subject of the OP.

          Lovely response to a valid query.

            You can now embed youtube videos, and there is a button in the editor.

            You just need to copy the video ID between the youtube tags e.g. if the video URL is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJFCdWajZVk you need you have sJFCdWajZVk between the youtube tags.

              Point, but arguably a post saying "deleted" disrupts the thread more?

              I look forward to it

              Also, I'm totally petitioning to have ****bacon added to the dictionary.

              I tired this on a thread I made - it changed the post title but not the thread title.

              Good job.

                Possibly, but at least i can see what they've originally put and look at all their edits if i have to make a decision based upon a previous post.

                  The youtube embed thing is handy.

                  It would be nice for everybody to be able to edit their own thread title in the projects section.

                      I feel a revolution coming on. The people want more power, Andy.

                      If you are really desperate to get something edited, just contact a Moderator. I could be chaos here if anyone is able to edit things at any time IMHO.

                        It was just the project thread section I was suggesting, however I don't know how the technical side of things work and appreciate that it may not be as simple as that.

                        I just think it is appropriate in projects as people can update the title as they go, ie restoration, back on the road, new turbo, blown engine, back on the road etc.
