    Allowing members to delete own posts in specific forums?

    Is there any way to permit members to delete own posts and threads in a specific forum? I have a 'for sale' forum where I would like to allow members to make new topics and delete them at will. I have already set custom permissions for all the usergroups for that forum but I have the Time Limit on Editing of Posts set (and would like to keep it ) and after the set time the posts can not be deleted.

    Is there any way around this? Can I allow unlimited time on deleting threads and posts for a specific forum?

    Admin Control Panel
    [+]Forums & Moderators
    ---[+]Forum Permissions
    -----[+]For Sale (or whatever your forum is called)
    ------[Edit] Registered Users

    Put a "Yes" to "Can Delete Own Threads"

    Hope that helps.

      Thanks for the reply but that is already set. The users CAN delete their threads until the time for editing runs out (120m in my case). The problem is that I cannot find the option to set that time to unlimited for just that one forum.

      Setting the time to unlimited globally is out of the question because it also controls the post editing time.

        There is no option to set a time limit per forum. This requires modifying the code. We cannot officially support code modifications or forums running modified code, however you can try searching or asking for help with this over at www.vbulletin.org.
