Editing posts

[seth]

I tried to edit a post I made tonight and the edit button is missing from the posts.
Is there a problem that's causing this ?

Thanks

Nope.

Following the recent restore, we are making some changes to the forum for security reasons.

Once you have posted a thread you will only have a short time period to edit it after it has been submitted, after that the modify option will no longer be available.

I posted tonight, wrong pic. I still wish we had a modify/delete option.

This was only a very short time after posting.
With my spelling I'll need to be able to edit a post for a little while after or they'll make even less sense than they used to .

Hate to be a pain but if its my post, surely i can change it. I would like that option.

Just about all the other forums I'm on only have less than a 15 minute window to edit, after that it's tough shit.

We are still adjusting this so the future approach will be to allow a short time for the post to be amended and @VladTepes is looking at how this can be achieved.

Please give us the time to make these adjustments!

How did you do that @Hooli

[Hooli]

I typed the following

'<This post has been edited>' then enclosed it in italic tags just to see what reaction it got, but don' tell everyone you'll ruin it.

Cheers buddy I walked into that one

Yeah as explained I'm looking into better ways to do things.


It's on the list - but it's not top of the list I'm afraid
