I would like to request that the limit this site has on editing your post of 60 minutes be removed .

Many other sites have no time limit on that and personally I can’t see a need for a limit on that .

I hope this request is strongly considered and not just put in the round file can.

How about bringing back or fixing the notices to thread posts & PM's too? Would be nice to know when someone replies to new posts or questions or sends you a PM... & while were at it, allow tagging people in threads to alert them to something they could help with or whatever. Almost every other forum Im a member of has had that for 15+ years.

I also support this request. There are times I'd like to go back and make a correction in my post that had been identified by other members. I'm certainly not perfect and appreciate having accurate information.

That's what's most annoying. Every other forum will give you an alert if someone quotes your posts, or responds to a thread you started.

I dont mind the limited time to edit posts. I'm on some forums where you can't edit at all, which I kinda like. It makes you own what you post.

That said, with how unstable this site seems to be, I wouldn't expect upgrades anytime soon.

What could go wrong?

YES! to both allowing editing whenever you need to & email notifications like we used to get!

There are many times I need to edit my transport ad as locations available change. I always have been respectful to the forum, so I don't bump it just to be on the top, so I am stuck with what I posted even though it changed 3 hours after I posted.

I don't get a lot of time to check in while I am on the road & just this trip I returned from this morning another member sent me a P.M. TWO days ago, since I did not have time to check in from the road & did NOT get an email notification.....I did not see it till just now when I checked in for the 1st time in probably 5 days.

God Bless

Pretty self explanatory if you ask me.

Here's some of the BS that comes in a PM on what was a high quality source for factual Pontiac TECH information.

When PY Boards was started it I believe a java script bulletin board, then it evolved to a more modern board, that was over 25 years ago.
In the very early days, there were plenty of us that throw up our names & numbers on posts, then came the new modern board with a PM box.
At one time, one could even upgrade the capacity of ones PM box. Id pay for that convenience today. Agree with several members above, NOT having
PM notifications makes it difficult in an increasingly busy world to manage communications.

Cost of maintaining the PY Board....

Am sure there are longtime members that provided a slightly upgraded Forum, would be more than happy to contribute financially. On the other hand as the "same ol same ol" not sure many could agree with that.
Surveying other Specialty automotive Forums, one only has to check out Yenko.Net to view an Automotive Forum with many sponsors, & may I say considerable more respect by members for their fellow membership.

One item noticed over on, say, the Yenko Forums, is a required once a year paid membership for those posting ads, along with restrictions on how many ads.
Desire to post more ads, like a bump of the same stuff every morning, the opportunity is there to have a vendor sponsorship.

Am not a member on the Yenko Forums, like quite a few here on PY, but the one thing any of us can see over on Yenko is a SENSE OF ORDER.
None of past shenanigans we've seen on PY, or for one issue today, the onslaught of listings of web browsing of all type of Pontiacs for sale in one TECH forum, the '67-69 Firebird Forum.
In THE LOBBY, where several post similar threads, or in a specific forum for Vehicles spotted on Craigs, Fakebook, eBay, not a big deal.

Am throwing up ideas here. As the status quo has been allowed for a long time, am however. back to copying & pasting threads to save
that will continue to help me in my own restorations.
