@Ford8 has shared some valid thoughts on some short comings in the Social Engine system.  I've taken the time to test the issues again, to see if there was a work around in the forum plugin.  There isn't a work around until SE makes the changes needed. 

For now, as it's important for members to have control over their posts and threads, I have enabled and allowed permissions for members to edit, rename forum topics and posts.  SE should have these settings allowed for all members to edit their posts and topics.

Threads tested:

Tested to see what permissions are enabled for members to edit their posts in the forum.

Tested to make sure this forum allows posting under the Tech Guru Member level.

As for comments, I share your frustration on not being able to edit your comments.  That is an issue for all members.  Some of the comments can be edited from your profile page as opposed to the activity feed.  It's kind of weird, but I just checked after recalling that.  It's not consistent and it does depend on the original origin of your comments. I'd have to spend a little more time and take notes on the exception.  There isn't a work around for this except to add the Professional Activity and Nested Comments Plugin.  I have used this plugin before at Friends Realm and disabled it because it had some issues.  I will consult with my magic guru friend @PengieTech on this and see if it's worth adding this plugin or if there are any other solutions.

Thank you Ford8 for your suggestions and feel free to start your own threads as you see anything that could use improvement or an issue.  I started this thread here to document your concerns and make sure we can take care of them for you too.

Are you interested in the subject heading to be hyperlinked?

Very true and open minded about software and their quirky or pesky little issues. Some parts can be improved and updated, but sometimes developers set off something else when doing that, at least my experience too.

Same on FB and Twitter and youtube. 

So glad to hear you are figuring everything out okay and enjoying Tech's Realm. Thank you for all of your threads and posts too! You have a lot of knowledge and it's always interesting to learn something new everyday.

Computing is very diverse, agree...so many different professional areas, some really, really proprietary or specialized. You do have a lot of knowledge and already have opened up for me new tech to consider that I wouldn't have known about. 

I loved posting on a website from the very first time in 2007.  By 2008, I wanted my own and started my first website by 2009 which was devoted to my daughter's favorite pastime, which was Webkinz.  It was so much fun with lots of moms and their kids.  I still have several friendships from that website to this day.

Your amazement with whatsapp, is like ours with Life360.  Our whole family is set up on it.  It is fascinating to actually see the instant ping, message or photo you are sending through whatsapp and knowing the distance in cables is mind boggling.  Life360 is extremely accurate and has helped us all at times.
