No Edit button-for Prior Posts?

Post by greenspiderweb »

OK, I edited this post-but I cannot edit my recent posts in the Flute Forum, because there is no button for the edit in them!

???

It should be at the lower right of the post, next to the Quote button, when you're logged in.

Thanks, MT, I edited my post above to ask the specific question about prior posts (recent).

Unless you are a board administrator or moderator, you can only edit or delete your own posts. You can edit a post by clicking the edit button for the relevant post, sometimes for only a limited time after the post was made.

Probably so, Denny. The Chiffboard Olympians will have to discuss this.

We've reset the self-editing time limit to 72 hours (3 days). If there are specific posts older than that which need editing, just let us know on a case by case basis.
