My “regulars” who have a special user group with the below edit options checked can edit ANY post. What can the problem be?
Can edit own topic titles – YES
Can edit any topic title – NO
Can edit own posts forever – YES
Can edit own posts until there has been a reply – YES
Can edit any post – NO
Can you by any chance take a look at the ‘sfauths’ in the database ands tell me how many rows there are in it?

45 sounds good thanks.
Let’s try this. Can you go to the forum admin > toolbox > Housekeeping and click on the reset auth cache button.
is this on any post? asking because you have conflicting permissions… you have true for any and true until reply.. if you want them to be able to edit any, just to be safe, I would turn off the other edit until reply one… dont know that its the problem, but might be getting confused…
and what do you mean by cannot edit? they dont get the button? or an error?
I’ll do that Papa 
Thanks.
Actually I wrote that my users in that group can edit any post not cannot.
They have an edit button for every single post.

I changed it but it didn’t help. The Edit Button shows up on every post so that members can edit every post.
Also, the conflict that you mentioned is default for “Full Access” and “Moderator”, maybe something for you guys to fix for the future. 
Sorry to just keep asking questions but as this is such a simple piece of code its hard to figure out why it is not behaving.
Does this happen in just a single forum or all of them. And is it also all topics? I assume you have a login you can test this out with for me…
All of them. It’s strange I know. It didn’t used to be a problem and I haven’t changed anything.
I know you said it made no difference but just for my sake !! could you change the permissions used by the ‘regulars’ and ‘members’ groups to either be ‘edit until reply’ or ‘edit forever’ but not both?
let me know when that is done and I will get back onto your site.
Yes of course I can Swordfish. I actually did it earlier and have left it that way since then. I was just saying that it’s that way in the default as well. 
ah… interesting. When I look at my user profile on your site I see that I have both options set but in your admin they are not. Now this doesn’t explain why the edit button is showing up but might be an important pointer.
We have had a few small number of niggling issues with users auths table and I am starting to think we need to look at yours. So it’s database access time again! Sorry about that. Do you want em to to do it? If so you will need to resend db url and credentials again. If not I can try and explain in detail what to look for….
OK – sfauths table is good and healthy.
I know you have tried this but can you please go to the toolbox > housekeeping and click on ‘reset the auths cache’ once again for me? It doesn’t actually look like it has been done…
I will keep the database open so I can see the result after you do that.
