This is definitely a bug although it was declared ' works as expected' for the D5 issue : http://drupal.org/node/330453.

The problem is the forum permissions and users permission don't work right. So it's either you can allow a role to edit any posts or none. Having a role 'edit own posts' in the user permission page without enabling the 'edit posts' on the forum's page does NOT allow a user to edit his own posts, though apparently in the D5 issue it worked. Enabling 'edit posts' on the forum's page, on the other hand, allows a user to edit any posts which is a mistake. I think it's a bug in the access grants here.

I don't know if this is related with the validation error that this module causes into the user permission page.

Sorry, I can't do anything with this heap of stuff. Please report one thing at a time, follow the instructions that were displayed when you entered your issue, add screenshot — just do your homework as you expect me to do mine...

And don't mention D5, that doesn't help.

I'm running into the same issue codeglyph described above.

What did you do?
With Forum Access enabled, I have the edit own forum topics permission checked for authenticated users. However, I do not want authenticated users to be able to edit other users' posts, so in the Access Control section of my forum, Edit posts is unchecked for authenticated users.
What did you expect?
I expected users to still be able to edit their own posts.
What happened instead?
Users are unable to edit their own posts.

Actually, it looks like rebuilding the permissions fixed the issue for me; sorry for the confusion. I'm changing the Status back to needs more info, in case rebuilding the permissions wasn't the issue for codeglyph.

Matt V.: Thank you for trying to bring some focus to this issue.

A screenshot of the two DNA blocks (with DNA debug mode enabled) is still needed. DNA would have told you immediately that you need to rebuild permissions.

Hi

I also have this issue. I have made the following settings.

permissions / forum.module / authenticated users
create forum topics
delete own forum topics
edit own forum topics.

Forum Access Control has edit posts set for moderators and administrators but not for authenticated users.

Users can edit the first post in a thread (ie the node), but cannot edit their own replies (ie comments)
Mods and Admins can edit everything correctly.

Please see attached screenshot.

Version: 6.x-1.x-dev » 6.x-1.7

Forgot to say i'm on version 1.7 and that i've tried rebuilding permissions with no change to the issue.

This is fixed in the latest dev version. If you can't get edit working in 1.7 then try the dev version.

Sorry for wasting everyones time (most of all my own! )
