I'm sorry..i've looked through this forum and I haven't seen anything on editing posts, but I'm sure it's been covered.

Could someone please enlighten me as to why editing is disabled after 10 minutes or however long it is?

it's five minutes...


Can I edit my own posts?
If you have registered, you will be able to edit and delete your posts. Note that the administrator can disable this ability as he desires. Your ability to edit your posts may also be time-limited, depending on how the administrator has set up the forum.

To edit or delete your posts, click the button by the post you want to edit. If your post was the first in the thread, then deleting the post may result in the removal of the entire thread.

After you have made your modifications, a note may appear, which notifies other users that you have edited your post. Administrators and moderators may also edit your messages but this note may not appear when they do so.



I don't know the reason but,,, would like to see the time expanded a little to cover internet probs...

you know...If you preview your posts before you make them final...You wouldn't need more time. Personally I am an advocate of longer or no editing limits, but on a site this size, It can lead to problems...After all, Not all of our members are lovable little teddy bears...

It's more because maybe I post, and then think of something more I wanted to say, than typos. It seems to me that editing would be better than double or triple posts cluttering up a thread.

See, just had to fix this. ;)
