Posible Forum Enhancement?

Fabian R Silva, - — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 11:57:47 GMT

Hello again guys :)
I learn a lot from this forum, but on every thing that I like to search I "surf" on the forum to find a good topic.

I think that a good point to avoid this to happen is that every registered user can edit his own posts.

With this on mind, a "solutions" section can be created with common (style F.A.Q.) questions and links to the post with that solution with a resumen of how to acomplish that.

If this can be implemented, one user can help with a index of common task and link to the post that say how to solve it :)

I say this because I see that I was posted questions that ared answered yet or sometimes I found the answer to a problem and later see another post with a better answer.

solution #2 can be a full-edit-rights moderator that can edit posts and order this, and when a post is solved edit the title to put "[SOLVED]" before the subject or something else

It´s only my thought on how can this forum can be better (really dificult because this forum are a better one yet!! :D)

thanks for the all the support that I give.

It can be awesome to find a fast answer to common posts :)

I think about a post with sometype of index with FAQ-style sections (like the sections of the forum but all on a single index post) with related posts for a question, etc

something like:

- Connection Manager
# setup a custom connection on a datalayer
- links to post about this

- Dev Express Wrapper:
# how to change the references and recompile it

etc etc :)

Yes, I believe that the only reason to not allow editing posts is so that when helping people with hard problems, they don't try to go back and change what they said. Also so that we don't get users that come on and try to twist their words around. But, yes, I think the ability to edit your own posts might one day be a "VIP" thing for people with either lots of posts or at the discression of the administrators. We'll see.

did someone say "edit" own posts? :)

perhaps longtime users can get this ability once you are pretty sure we won't use it to spread evil...
