Is it possible to edit the thread?

Yea, you can edit it now. Back then I put a time limit of 120 minutes on posts, because people received an answer and then cleaned all of their posts, rendering whole threads useless.

Well, I just had an idea and implemented it: just save the old version of the post to a file:

editpost.php line 465, under // ### POST HAS NO ERRORS ###

		    {
        $postid = intval( $postinfo['postid'] );
        $time = time();
        //$currentmsg = $vbulletin->GPC['message'];
        $posts = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
            SELECT pagetext 
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post 
            WHERE postid = $postid
        ");
        $post = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($posts);
        $text = $post['pagetext'];
        $rand = rand(100, 999); // cba to generate a "incremental revision id" now, so just do timestamp+random value
        file_put_contents("some_super_secret_folder/{$postid}_{$time}_{$rand}.txt", $text);
    }

So if somebody deletes all of his posts now, it's easy to restore them. If it would be many posts, I will just write a PHP import script for it. Ideas/better implementation is welcome
