In post_message.asp I see the line:

 
If strMode = "editTopic" OR strMode = "edit" AND (blnAdmin = false AND blnModerator = false) Then
 
I was never too good understanding the differences between how VBScript processes ANDs and ORs without the brackets so I made a change in my version to make it this:
 
If (strMode = "editTopic" OR strMode = "edit") AND (blnAdmin = false OR blnModerator = false) Then
 
(I also changed the AND to an OR to test for a moderator or admin.
 
I didn't change the line of code Mandrakes mentioned.
 
I'm just wondering if my code is now vulnerable to attack - I've tested from the point of view of an admin and normal member it seems to be OK.
 
I am using the following logic:
If message is to be edited and I am NOT an admin or moderator then test to see if I actually posted the message.
 
Can anyone confirm if my logic is correct and if it will break anything?
 
Thanks Big smile

'***      Edit post Check  ***

If (blnAdmin = false AND blnModerator = false) then
'Check if the user can edit this topic

UPDATE :
 
Ok, i have come to realize that myself and other moderators CAN edit member posts. But only regular members. Moderators, inlcuding the site admin, do not have the ability to edit other moderators OR admins posts. This is something we need very badly as we work together as a team to update threads, etc...
 
How can I make it so that everyone BUT the regular members can edit other's posts??? Like I said, I have tried grouping, and nothing seems to work. And its just silly, as the admin of the site, that I wouldnt have rights to edit EVERYONES posts.
 
Suggestions anyone?

I have defaulted everything back to install state and I still cant edit posts. It allows me to click on the button and do my edit, but the minute I hit update, it tells me I dont have sufficient permissions. And I am the freakin site admin!!! LOL!
 
I cant figure out what is going on. I used to use the Access version of WWF and had no problems other than it crashing because to many users were logged in. But as soon as I started using the MSSQL database it seems I cant edit posts.

Ok here is another thing...
 
I log in as the default adminstator account and it tells me I have insufficient permissions as well.....UG! Whats happening? I just installed this forum, so I cannot say that it has worked before and just suddenly stopped working. This is the first time I tried to edit a user post.

Ok here is an example of one of the forum permissions :

In my general info forum, I have permission set up for Registered Users to edit posts. I have the "Admin Group" set up as a moderator with permission to edit posts as well. But no luck. I even tried other groups and individual users as moderators giving them the same permissions. No luck.
 
It seems the edit option is the only one missing. I can sticky, move and delete topics using the "admin" button above the post. And I can click the edit button to even edit the post, but once I hit update, i get the Sorry message.

you need o go into the group permssions section and select the specification for that group.

ie, edit posts etc.

then assign those settings to every group.

on a side note, you did allopw forum moderators or registered users theability to edit posts ,and also make it that your group is a Moderatnggroup of that forum.

Hi, I just recently installed hte 7.92 version of WWF using an SQL database.
 
Well, it seems that although I have admin abilities, and can access the admin menu ALONG with admin topics (such as sticky and update them), I cannot edit posts.
 
I have changed specific permissions for groups and individual. I have assigned permissions to myself directly as a moderator in a forum and a few others and still no luck. What I cant understand is , as the site admin, I cant do edit any posts. Oh I am sooo frustrated.
 
I get this "Sorry, only members with sufficient permission can access this page."  HELP!!!!!
