| | FORUMS: Edit your own posts - How Do I?Page 1 of 1 | I searched for an answer and had no luck.
Is there a way to edit your own post? Especially when you see that your spelling is wrong and you want to go back and fix your spelling error.
Thanks.

For 15 Minutes right after you have posted your Message, and must be .
For new Members, at least 15 or so Posts are required first before the (Edit Post) Function becomes available to them.
Further, your Profile has to have been in Existence for at least 72 Hours.

For new members, at least 5 - 10 posts are required first before the "Edit" function becomes available to them.
That's insane. This forum is far from perfect and holds few of the accessibilities of other Internet forums as well as inconsistencies with typical forum designs such as case-sensitive mark-up tags, surely the people who require the ability to edit the most are those who have only just begun posting and don't yet understand the correct processes involved.
Surely with all the arguments that people have on these boards about spelling and mixed-communication you can see what an advantage an editing function would be to tackle these problems? | |

Posted: 5/3/2007 7:04:31 AM | I understand this part, but what I don't get, is on the forums now, after someone else's posting, it shows ME a 'delete post' option.... Why is it doing that? Thnks. (messages this short may not be posted ) | |

Posted: 11/18/2007 11:46:18 AM | Hi:)
Something strange just happened to me. I just posted on a thread, and when I went to edit something I wrote right after I'd just posted it, it wouldn't let me. I pressed the edit button like I always do, and it brought me to a blank post, telling me I could only edit within 15 minutes of my post. ( something I'm well aware of:)
I also noticed that even though I posted at approx. 14:30, it says I posted at 11:33 am. I've noticed the time discrepancy before, but I've never been NOT able to edit my post:(
It's weird because I just posted to another thread before this one, and I had no problems editing that post. 
I would appreciate any  you could provide me with this:)
Thanks in advance. 
Edit: Just for the record, I WAS able to edit this one....go figure....haha!!
Edit # 2: Never mind, I just got my answer:) I see that the thread I posted on was deleted by the time I was trying to edit.....that's why it woudn't allow me, it no longer existed....haha!
Thanks anyways:)
