Try setting it to -1 and see if a normal user can edit an old post. If the -1 does not work, try some insanely large number of minutes so it appears that there is no limit to editing the posts. 525600 is a year's worth of minutes. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/delete-post-by-its-owner#post-18768 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 22:49:03 +0000 brad_langdon 18768@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Great Cheers for that!</p> <p>One more thing...(sorry)</p> <p>How do you change the timeout length for editing and deleting posts?</p> <p>Can you take the timeout off all togehter?

The only issue is if you had an integrated install, then you would have bbPress users in your wp_users and wp_usermeta table. You would probably have to manually remove those entries from those tables. Don't drop the wp_ tables, just the bb_tables.</p> <p>I think that's about it.
