I do not own or have any stake in Hostboard. Hostboard is owned by someone else. I am simply using their service, which is free. I chose Hostboard all those years ago as the place to park the Titfighting and Sexfighting Forum because of their openness to adult forums being on their system. There are honestly not a lot of options out there and I've watched many services come and go. Hostboard is the only one that has remained intact all these years.
Unlike what MaskedSuperstar said, I am not "out to lunch" on fixing things and I didn't "accidentally" do anything to this forum. I have had my options set for this forum since Day 1 and have never touched them since as I never had to. The problems we're facing is also forum-wide. Hostboard just hired a bunch of new coders who are working on adding new functionality. On top of that, Hostboard is expanding. From what I understand, they're going through a period of adjustment and that period has, unfortunately, come with some "growing pains".
As for me, I am actively trying to get the forum's functionality back to normal. This does NOT mean I am sitting here writing code. I have no ability to actually do that. All I can do is manage the forum using the options Hostboard has given me. And, as I mentioned in Shak7's other topic, I currently don't have the ability to do that. Steven, who is one of the owners of Hostboard, has a developer working on fixing my own account to allow me to manage the forum.
In regards to the Edit function, Steven told me that Hostboard is implementing a new function that puts a Time Limit on editing. So, if you just created a thread, it will be Editable for a certain amount of time before it stops being Editable. This is a forum-wide function, affecting every single forum on Hostboard. However, I have asked Steven to please not implement that function on the Titfighting and Sexfighting Forum because none of us want it. In other words, I have asked Hostboard to do something different for one specific forum on their system. Hopefully, they'll be okay with that.
And, that's everything, guys. Seriously, Hostboard isn't out to get us and definitely not purposefully ruining our experience. Just bear with them and trust that I am in constant contact with them to try to get things back to normal.
