Issues with permissions and Private Forums.

You should now be able to edit older posts and your signature.
Seeing infractions is going to require more research I'm afraid.
You should be able to access your profile and signature.Works
The other ones still need fixing though (access to your profile, signature, image gallery, download database)
Need to look further into the image gallery and download database. What I see isn't making sense atm.
Seeing signatures isn't the problem. We can't change our signatures, and that is a problem. Some of us use our sigs to post updates on various forum activities we're involved in.
I checked my account at the other forum I belong to that uses Xenforo. The link to change one's signature should appear in the profile menu between "Personal Details" and "Contact Details."
It's not there on CFC (for my usergroup, anyway).

Editing older posts works fine now, thanks a lot!
Editing my signature doesn't seem to work though, there is no link in the options, and when I try to access the page by manually editing the link I still get an permission error: "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action."
Please try getting into your signature and editing it.
Still no signature-editing available for Retired Moderators.
Will continue to research the issue. Everything says he should be able to see it and edit it. Apologize for the delay.
Please try it again.
Also, Ryika and The_J, please see if you can get into signatures.
It works now, thanks! 
I see that I can delete posts too, so thanks again.

Thank goodness!
Not sure about the delete post, that is unintentional. Something else to discuss in staff.

I'm learning...Agree on the last part.
Else all works, I can access my profile, my signature, edit my signature, access the image gallery and download database.
When I look at your profile page, I see five tabs under your User Name: Profile Posts, Recent Activity, Postings, Information and Warnings.
Can you see all those tabs?

Warnings is missing in my profile as well. Perhaps only moderators can see it. More research to do...
Having the "delete" next to the "edit" is how Xenforo works, and it's how my TrekBBS posts look.
I do think we should be allowed to delete posts that are in the wrong thread, are wrongly formatted, or messed up in other ways. Being able to delete a poll that gets done the wrong way (ie. wrong number of choices, or wrong type of choices - one choice vs. more than one, private vs. public, etc.) would be so handy.
One goal of change is to make less work for moderators, correct? I think this would contribute to less work for moderators.
Of course an OP needs to remember that deleting the OP would mean deleting the entire thread - which is not fair to the other posters.
