Just a quick suggestion (if its not to late) about the Edit Post Timeout feature.

I would of preferred to have the ability to do it 'per forum', and maybe a "global" one which an option for forums to use the "global" setting.

As I have one forum on a site which I would like to restrict to a low edit time frame, but the other forums do not need to have a timeout on how long you can wait till you edit your post.

Also it would be nice to allow moderators / admins the ability to be ignored from the timeout (a bit like how admins are ignored from the post flood feature)


If it is to late, maybe add it to the "to do list" for V11?



As not to flood this forum which posts - I'll add an unrelated suggestion.

It would of been nice to have a different PM inbox limit for Groups - reason being I would like to offer moderators bigger inboxes than standard members.

At the moment the edit timeout is a global option, it would need to wait for version 11 to make it an option at forum level.

Admins and Moderators are not subject to the edit timeout, or at least not Admins at present as a bug in beta 1 means that moderators do not see the edit link after the timeout period.

Setting the number of PM's in in and out boxes on a group biases would also require database changes which would need to wait for version 11 to look at adding such an option. However, version 10 does now include outbox limits as well as inbox limits, it also displays a message if the members inbox is full and you are able to set the oldest PM to be deleted if the recipients inbox is full.
