Hello all! Curious question about editing posts in general. Perhaps a Mederators help??

Hello all! Now I've been into grow journal for a long time ever since I started growing 7 years ago, I always loved to catalog and explain my grows and processes as a weed growing year book to look back on and admire, as well as for others I know personally, or for randoms within the this website, to learn from.

With that said, My current grow journal has become way to big. In the sense of a bunch of sensless talking and a bunch of people asking questions or putting in suggestions, etc. Now theres nothing wrong with this, and I actually love to get others opinions whether they coincide with mine or not. But, I find it hard for others especially noobs or just lazy people in general (which most smokers are) to read a 7 paged thread or 100 pages thread for that matter. I find most people just skipping through to the end or to certain pics that caught their eye, rather than reading the whole thing, which I dont blame them, no one wants to waste an hour or so of straight reading to find out its something your not interested in after all...

To the point:
Now when I first started my journal here (just have to specify this is not my first journal, its just my first journal since I've made Rollitup.org my home.) I planned on going back to the very first post, and re-editing it and adding a table of contents. However, I noticed after a day or so the editing button is removed and the post is finalized.
So what I wanted to do, not only for myself, but for everyone who comes across my journals is to be able to read a table of contents of some sort. For example, when someone comes to the thread, they will be pushed into the front page, unless of course they click the last page instantly. But, lets say they click on the thread, even if the click on the last page from the get go, and it seems like something they might be interested in, to go to the front to start reading, and notice there is a table of contents. Now what I mean by a table of contents, is a quick summary of what is where. For example. Something like this:

The start of the grow:
Germinating the soon to be mothers:
Page 1 post # 6:
Link: (hyper link displayed here as to not be to much random text due to the URL)
(hyper link directing right to the said post if clicked.)

The cloning:
Page 2 Post # 1
Link: (hyper link)

Flowering:
page 4 post # 6
Link: (hyper link)

ETC....


So that way people can instantly go to what matters and read as if I posted the updates 1 right after the other, and detouring themselves from a bunch of random talk, or beneficial talk that one just may simply not be interested in. You see what I mean? I think doing this will not only be beneficial for my own journals, but for anyone's threads in general here!

Please if possible, someone Private message me explaining how this might be possible, or at the least have a moderator talk to me to see what can be worked out. I know this should be very possible.

I'm hoping there will be a more elaborate system for something like this, however, if possible I could achieve this if my posts can be unlocked to only me (my post only unlocked to myself) for editing at all times. At least the very first post within my thread. Maybe put a permanent edit button on my posts? Any suggestions or constructive criticisms is greatly appreciated, thanks to those who actually took the time to read this and possibly help!

Regards,

I'm not a moderator, more like a custodian, but no. Nothing you want to do is possible. I don't think this Xenforo is even Y2K ready.

Im gunna be real blunt with you. I work as a volunteer here and while i love doing it there is no way i have enough personal time to go in a create a table of contents for you

however that being said you can draft one for me
and ill edit your thread to make it so.

basically you do the dirty work and ill just copy/paste put it in for you

we cannot make it so you can only mod your own thread, edit or lock/unlock it at you will.
we will never give users the advantage of being able to do that, while yours is all in good intentions, most people would abuse the system.
the time limit on editing is 72 hours, that will never change its been that way since 2006, and it cannot be switched to specific people and make so and so and him and her have longer editing times.

I can do the table of contents for you but as stated you will have to do all the work ,

To be blunt? Well, you certainly were... Not sure as to why? Your response was frankly very conniving and sarcastic lol. Not an issue what so ever, just calling it out. I felt this was a very interesting idea and although I understand what you have expressed, I felt it was simple to do so on your guy's behalf.. I have programmed for many years in 4 different programming languages off and on. I feel it would be easy, but to each their own. Regardless, I understand that this is what it is and of course will abide. With that said, I greatly appreciate you being willing to create a table of contents for me. But I feel this would be causing much inconvenience.. That is not what I intended to do here.. Is this the only option at hand? Is to bug you every time I need to re-edit my first post? Thanks for your input.

If anything, I will save your RIO info and contact you when the journal is complete. Then submit a final table of contents to replace my first post of the said thread? I feel that would suffice.

I think you took my post the wrong way, I certainly meant no disrespect just letting you know your options, i said i would do it for you just you need to do the work involved.
What would inconvience me is having to do all the work when i have about 600,000 other members to delete, clean up, watch threads, read threads, clean up spam, clean up arguments, fix problems, report problems to the web developer , solve peoples problems etc.

You took it as a negative response, because well typing and text can be hard to find the tone of the message, my apologies, i did not mean it in a wrongful tone, that being said try not to take everything to hard, anyone who reads any of my posts here know Ive done nothing but be a great helpful service to every member ive ever been asked for help by. Ive done and do everything I can within reason for members here.

The only option we have is you do the work and i will edit it for you.


Im not exactly sure if youre just having an irritable day but not sure where telling you , WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU, and that i can do it 3 times in one message reply is being negative.

Ah I believe I did take your response the wrong way. I was obviously not in a great mind set yesterday... Regardless, thank you for your patience and understanding on my accord, and appreciate you again, taking the time to express this to me. I wasn't aware that, that much responsibility was bestowed upon you. I hope you have other moderators to help otherwise I completely understand what an overwhelming night mare that could be at times. Anyways, I would be more than happy to do all the hard work and send it to you to be edited. That would definitely suffice with me. As the main purpose of me wanting this, is for myself and others to look back on and be able to skip to what matters within said thread. I completely agree with your perspective.. It's hard to tell at times the emotions behind the words with lack of facial expressions due to being text. I was not in a great mood yesterday and frankly, the previous response before you for what ever reason kind of got under my skin, thus when I read your message, I had the wrong perception... I again appreciate your understandings and patience towards my remarks, and apologies for my bit offended responses. With that said, thanks for everything and I will keep in touch.

I am a bit curiously confused about the last paragraph you sent? 3 times in 1 message is negative?? I guess it's irrelevant at this point..
