The discussion revolves around the ability to change timestamps in Discourse. Manfred_Bayer-Lemerz reported an issue where users with user level 4 can see the option to change the timestamp, but receive an error message when attempting to do so. sam considers this a bug, suggesting that the option should not be displayed if it doesn’t work. Manfred_Bayer-Lemerz agrees, proposing a feature to allow users with user level 4 to change timestamps. However, nbianca points out that only administrators can change post timestamps according to the backend, and a pull request has been made to only show the change timestamp button to administrators. tgxworld confirms that the pull request has been merged.
Hallo!
When I use the timestamp as admin it works fine.
But as Moderator or User with user level 4 the user sees the menu item as above but when he wants to change the date the error message “There was an error changing the timestamp of the topic.” pops up.
As we have a couple oif user which are reenter topics from the old board software we would need this feature also for user with user level 4!
thanks
Manfred
This is a bug cause if the option does not work for mod we should not even display the option
Or a feature we would like to have the option that user with user level 4 can change the timestamp of a posting.

This pull requests shows the change timestamp button only for administrators.
According to the backend, only administrators can change post timestamps.
This has been merged. Thanks @nbianca
