unable to see full profile and to delete posts

[Jack]

I am sorry to disturb, but I am unable to see full profile of others like pc specs, cpu, gpu, ram, their favorite games.

Here is a screenshot

I was able to see these details yesterday, but I don't know why this has happened

Also, when I click on to view my profile, I can't even see my PC details.
And I am actually logged in.

Another problem is that I am unable to delete posts.
Please look into these issues.

It's very odd to see my profile in that picture XD. Being unable to delete/edit your posts is because your post count isn't high enough, an admin can fix this. Not sure if the profile details is the same problem.

Well, you were the first person whose profile I had seen when I joined this forum because you had a GIF avatar and you were regular in posting.
Also you had replied in my previous thread where I had questioned about disabling dual core, so thanks for that !

So I was able to see your full profile earlier, but today I couldn’t see profile of a different member I was confused. So I went to your profile as if I could again see your PC specs then that meant the problem is with that other person whose profile I visited. But then now I cannot see any profile, even mine.
So I request an admin to please help me with my two problems.

Also I can edit posts. You can see that this post has been edited by myself.
Thus, Edit option is available, but delete option is gone.
I even deleted a post yesterday, but now that option is gone.
Something is awkward.

The options disappear for you when a post is 24 hours old.

But then why cannot I delete my 1 hr old post?

See this screenshot

You can clearly see that my last post in this forum has no option for delete.

None of the two issues have been resolved so far.
I believe there is some legitimate problem.

I must have been mistaken then. I know the rule for the edit button is 24 hours (or 48 hours?) but I'm less sure about the delete button.

[Jack]

If both the problems cannot be fixed, then maybe change my name and delete my account. So that I can once again create an account with same username and mail.

Now you have 10 posts everything should be fine.

Lol, everything is ok now.
Sorry for the all disturbance.

EDIT - Ninja'd by Maylmilae. I need to word less... Anyway...

A couple of things:

1) For viewing the full profile of members on this forum you must be logged into a registered account. You can test this out by opening a new private browsing tab and clicking on anyone's profile. PC specs, favorite game, etc, are hidden unless you log in. If you're logged in and still having issues, this is probably something to do with the way your browser is handling this site's cookies, or your browser may not be updating its internal cache properly. For reference, I've had no issues with the latest versions of Firefox (desktop and mobile) but most people tend to use Chrome and I can't vouch for that one.

2) Users with less than 10 posts cannot edit their posts after 1440 minutes (24 hours). Users with less than 10 posts also cannot delete their own posts. These are anti-spam measures, the former of which was at one point exploited by spammers in the past, while the latter is a precaution we adopted going forward (to make sure spammers don't make "temporary" spam messages, e.g. deleting them before mods can see them and ban the spammer).

Users with 10 or more posts (but less than 50) still cannot edit their posts after 1440 minutes. However, users with 10 or more posts can delete their own posts. In posting to the Site Feedback & Questions Forum, you've raised your post count to exactly 10 (at the time I'm writing this), so now you should be able to delete your own posts. Be warned, that deleting a post reduces your post count, and if you fall back under 10, you'll have those restrictions again.

It's a lot a rules to keep track of, but it basically boils down to the less posts you have, the more restrictions your account will have. Post more, and the restrictions are automatically removed. Again, we do this to keep spam-bots in check. They were pretty rampant here until we introduced a series of these restrictions. These days you'll hardly ever see spam here; we tend to eliminate it before it's even publicly viewable.
