 * I worried that might be the case. Its for a dev site that i was working on.
    
   It might be easier for me to kill the plugin and clean out the db of entries 
   and then reinstall an older version. Thanks

 * I will have to search a bit harder for the plugin i guess, I thought it might
   have been a simple thing that i am missing.
    To be honest i had thought or just
   having two installs of wp and. One in Folder A and one in Folder B then assigning
   different themes accordingly. Complete overkill but it would work. The whole 
   conditional tags scares me a little, but i will read up a bit as it looks interesting(
   esp the sidebar depending on page bit)

    Thanks texet that is a good
   backup as gene says this is a dirty fix but not a complete solution as it doesnt
   function the same.

 * It seems that every 15 or so seconds (according to fiddler) the admin-ajax.php
   checks for new comments and new posts.
    If i had say 20 users sat on the page
   this would give the server a fair bit of hammering even though the users are 
   not doing anything, right. Is this an inherent part of the P2 theme that nothing
   can be done against

 * hi gene
    yeah i have tried role manager but still you can’t assign a user the
   ability to edit their own comments on any post no matter weather they started
   the post or not. It just doent work. There needs to be the following settings
 * Add/reply own Comment
    Edit own comment Delete own comment Read own comment Read
   others comments Add own post Edit own post Delete own post Read own post Read
   others posts
 * Currently there isn’t the whole ‘own’ focus to roles
    There is private & others.
 * This is stopping useres from being able to edit their own comments.
    Unless anyone
   else can work this out cos it’s not obvious to me. I like role manager but it
   doesn’t quite go far enough.

 * Thanks Dan, I have now looked at this but it also doesn’t quite do the job – 
   it works in the same way as wp-ajax-edit-comments
    sometime sit does and sometimes
   it doesnt. And it’s also a paint to modify the p2 comments.php file

 * This in ability to edit their own comments on somebody elses thread is a bug 
   that seems to be ignored at the moment.
    I have tried all kinds of role managment
   and it just doesnt work for me. I don’t know if this is going to be fixed, i 
   mentioned it months ago (prior to the current p2 release) and was told it would
   be looking into by the author, but so far nothiung. This is fundamental to my
   p2 based theme and WP site.
 * Authors must be able to comment on any post and must be able to edit their own
   posts where ever they are and if needed delete their own posts.
    Currently this
   isn’t possible… unless i am doing something very wrong!

 * I do like p2 and would love to use it but am hgaving real problems with user 
   roles and profiles.
    I have tried all the role plugins but none of the give me
   the control i need. It just doesnt seem to be in wordpress. The support does 
   seem lacking but maybe you just need to ask questions people can answer. I have
   lots i need to work out how to do but you dont get anywhere by bombarding people
   with questions (as i have noticed) The biggest issue for me though it role control
   as i said.

 * nope – they can only delete their own comments if they start the thread.
    seems
   like a silly situation really but this is how it is at the moment

 * Sorry i forgot to add:
    Allow users to edit their own comments – not edit own
   possts (that bit works) They can’t edit their own comments unless they atarted
   the thread, This is weird and annoying – also i have tried ajax edit comments
   and After reading the install instructions i didnt want to try hacking around
   with the mightly fine p2 comment php file

 * I see that ther is a new version 1.04 so i installed and tested this.
    With the
   users set to author they can post new posts and post comments on posts. But they
   seem to be only able to edit their own comments when they are against their own
   posts. Any idea why this would be? Thanks
