[Solved, Groups Bug] delete update link available for non-admin members

vsorokin

Wow, I'm owner Qt Linux Group, but I can delete only my messages.

? This user is from outside of this forum

Volker, which browser do you use? I don't see any "delete group update" links in the Qt linux group and I'm on FF

Hi, I'm member of Qt German group and only see that for my posts.

I'm on a Mac with Safari 5. But I tried with Arora (webkit engine) and Firefox and have that links there too. They seem to appear on every group's update page.

For me is show only in my post where i'm not a owner, and when i'm a owner for every update.

Strange - let's wait what our beloved Trolls have to say :-)

Update: The link is visible on the iPhone too.

Volker Please, check "settings page":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/groups/qt_linux/settings, What do you see?

Are you sure you are not a onwer of that group? :P

Not that I'm aware of. The link is there even in groups where I am not a member (e.g. Qt Russia).

Its incredible, for me works normal. Are you a super power user? :)

On that page I can only check wether I get email from this group or not. Nothing from the group owners options (invite people, group name/description, policies, etc.) are there for me in the Qt Linux group.

But WAIT! You are a gene splicer!
Gene Splicer: can become moderator of the whole forum
Maybe is for this reason!

stuk, I thought on the Gene Splicer thingy too, but then Chetan should have that links too, as he is Mad Scientist. Also, I can become moderator of the whole forum, but I did not apply yet :-)

giesbert

But may become does not say, will be.
I thought you have to query for that (so ask the trolls)...

stukdev

For me this 'can become' is mean 'will become', is only for a better write of the phrase.
Ok, i will try some troll for some clarify.

Marius not available today.

stuk "can become" is mean "can become", if he want, if trolls accept him, etc...

This sounds like a bug, we will have a look. Having a rank is not enough to get moderation powers, they are all manually assigned by a troll admin.

Thanks for digging into it and trying on various browsers and devices, very helpful.

goetz

I just tried with IE8 on Windows XP - the same, links are present. Seems to be some weirdness with my account.

Some more stats:

I have the link in all but these two groups:
Site Moderators
Qt Ambassadors

I couldn't check these two groups, as they do not have updates yet:
Mobile Developers
Qt Romania

Volker, please look into mobile devs. I've left test there for you.
