Does anyone not have edit permissions for files previously posted?

your post is blank - could you edit it please . (This happened to me & removing the URL tags fixed it - some sort of bug apparently. )

Guy, I think you might be wrong. Clicking the "Quote" or "Edit" button in Bruce's post will show if there's anything in it that's not being shown in the regular view.

In this case I didn't enter information in the post at first. I thought people would have ideas and if they saw this topic, it would encourage them to use it rather than start new topics relating to the forum, rather than compiling.

I have ideas, but didn't feel fluent enough to express them at the time.

I am very interested in compiling for puppy but the package format seems to be a moving target all the time .

Lucid puppy uses deb but the next puppy is likely to use slackware packages. There is also pet, but I know that currently Barry K has been looking at rpms & just added rpm support (if I remember correctly) to wary.

Bruce, I just read your OP with my brain engaged.
I can replace a file that's been posted. So can the person who originally put it there. Why do you ask?

I'm not allowed to edit posts, certainly. Or attach/download attachments.

Here's the list of permissions as I currently see it at the bottom of the screen. (Never did figure out why the labels sometimes change like this...)

Hello,
Permissions = same for me...

[James C]

Same for me too.

Just posted to this section and I wanted to edit my post to fix my text. I seem not to have edit rights. Could people using this section get information some way when the permissions and rights are fixed.

Another interesting finding. I dont see this Compiling section under Additional Software if I am not logged in to the forum. When I logout, the Compiling section dissappears from the link list.

I would suggest this kind behavior to the Truly Off Topic section, but for Compiling I would think it is nuisance and I believe this has not been purpose. So think about this as bug report.

Registered users should now be able to edit their posts in this Compiling subforum, attach files, download files, etc., just as they can anywhere else in the forum. If I'm wrong, please send me a PM. Thank you.
