Since this is a work in progress I may have missed it. Is there a "Self Delete" option?

[JohnSJ]

This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the DU4 Bug Reports forum).

Also, I notice when one is getting ready to POST, the user is required to PREVIEW the post first. Will that be in the finalized version, or will there be an option to post without a PREVIEW?

Things look good when my VPN is turned on.


Thanks

1. The self-delete option is still included

Click the "Powers" button at the bottom left of a post and it should be in there.

As for requiring the user to preview, we've received a lot of feedback about this so we're going to change it during the next round of bug fixes and go back to having a Post button on the first page when you're posting.

2. I'm not sure it is working. I hit powers on one of my threads and nothing popped up/happened

[EarlG]

3. You clicked it on the OP of the thread you started?

The self-delete option should appear if it's your own post.

Can you try it on one of your own OPs and one of your own replies and see if there's a difference between the two?

4. Initially only on a reply to a thread. Then I went to DU Lounge and tried on this thread

https://du4.democraticunderground.com/10181734369

The powers toggle lights up yellow, but I see no options to self-delete or anything else happening.

THen I started a thread in DU4Bugsandfeedback. Same.

Maybe I am missing something. (I have subsequently gone back to DU3 to self-delete the lounge thread at top).

5. That looks like a bug

When you click the Powers button on one of your own posts, it should look like this:



I'll add this to the bug list -- thanks.

6. Nope... The powers tab lights yellow but nothing happens beyond that.

7. Alert and powers do nothing for me.

8. Alert is turned off in this forum

Give it a try on a thread somewhere else like GD and see if it works.

Powers is currently bugged, it’s on the list of things to do.

9. Same here. The Power option only worked in the forum where I host. Not able to self delete.

Click Power and nothing happens outside that one forum.

[EarlG]

10. But you did get Host options in the Powers section

while in the forum that you Host? If so, that's good. Basically we just need to fix the self-delete button not showing up.

11. Good news: Alert works

Bad news: I found 1-2 juicy new bugs. I'll post about them separately.

12. Correct. Hosting Powers, yes. Self-delete, no.
