How can administrators modify or delete forum posts made by themselves or other users?
Thanks,
Steve
Hello Steve,
Administrators can delete posts at any time by clicking "delete" at the bottom of the post. If the post is in a thread, I think all the following posts have to be deleted as well (or possibly moved to a new thread), not sure.
Administrators can edit posts by others very nicely in 1.5.3+. If you check the config-dist.php file, line 153 contains this:
// $CFG->admineditalways = true;
Paste that line in the new config.php file and remove the slashes so it looks like this:
$CFG->admineditalways = true;
Then, the administrator will see a new "edit" option at the bottom of each post, and after editing a post, there will be a little note following your edit within the edited post that says something like, "Edited by NAME on January 1, 2006."
