How the heck do I edit my posts. I see that I can edit at the original posting time but when I go back a day later, there is no option to edit. Thanks.

We kept the same setting the site had before. You can edit posts for up to 1 hour after posting.

I'm confused...before I used to edit old posts but now I can't do that. Thanks J.

The old website let you edit forever, now its up to one hour.

 

[RR-MAN]

Thanks. That's what I was thinking but then again I read John's response...

I know, and I wish that were the case. But I also understand why they did it... problems with people going back and retroactively altering posts when problems come up.

 

[RR-MAN]

Yeah that makes sense. I will be posting twice as much now. Lol.

 

[gabe_j]

I her that but it's frustrating when you post sale ads and can't edit for price drops or update sold items on the first post...

 

[NarnyTheGreat]

Totally agree Gabe. I have a number of times wanted to make edits... it is frustrating, but I dont think its possible to have it both ways. Most forums have this type of set up. The only one that isnt like this is but is updated is TONMO. I can edit posts from 5 years ago if I want to. I think its the type of system and this just may be one of the limitations to this new system.

 

[gabe_j]

Ya I understand.

Or editing for spelling or grammer reasons. I type from my phone and there are always typos.

 

[gabe_j]

oh yeah.. especially if you have "swype" on your phone you'll come up with all sorts of wierd things.

I believe we did have the bst trade open to editing since it was restricted to members. I'll verify and adjust.

What was adjusted? Are you saying I should be able to edit old posts now, because I cant as of yet. I dont speak tech lol so I dont know what the bst trade is.

Where are you not allowed to edit your posts. I just verified that you are setup to edit your own posts if you are a supporting member or sponsor.

 

[NarnyTheGreat]

So far I am only able to edit for one hour after I post in any thread. If Its after the hour then I cant edit anything. Is that the way its supposed to be?

 

[jdeveaux]

I believe Supporting Members should be able to edit their posts now. I've tested it and it is working for me.

 

[NarnyTheGreat]

I think the reason it works for you is because you have other privileges/burdens lol of being the pres. As of now I still cant edit old posts. Not what you want to hear I know, especially since you put in so much time as it is, but I thought you should know.

 

[NarnyTheGreat]

Huh, now I cant even edit my last post.

I have a standard user account I use for testing

I see why you can't edit... Your membership renewal is due. I think... checking the logs to make sure the system has your information correct.
