How do I modify posts?
« on: April 12, 2009, 12:59:33 »
I created a topic yesterday and wanted to modify it but for the life of me I can't find a way to do it. I have read the help and it says that a modify button should show when I view my posting but it never does. I am beginning to wonder if thereis a browser setting that I need to adjust or whether my firewall is somehow blocking it. Any suggestions or help welcome?

Dan changed the edit/delete post options so that there is a time limit (about an hour I think). He has done this to prevent subsequent editting, or deletion, which has previously made a mess of threads.

If you need a post editing/deleting after the time limit has expired you would have to send Dan a PM asking him to edit it on your behalf.

Why not just do a "Quote" reply and edit that, stating underneath that you have edited it.

Ihave just tried it out and it works. Do a "Quote" of your original post and then edit the text. It will be a second post and won't affect the original.

or you could click on the "report this post" button on the right hand of your message and ask him to edit it.
