why can't you edit posts??

wickedworks · 2005-07-13, 09:01 AM

I am trying to edit a post I made and it shows no options to edit.

I suppose you cannot edit posts after a certain time period which is completely stupid and pointless.

You've got an hour to edit the post - this should be more than enough time to fix a typo or something like that.

Jim · 2005-07-13, 09:30 AM

An hour seems too long to me.

Torn Rose · 2005-07-13, 09:54 AM

1 hour is why too long, 5-15 minutes is more then enough time to edit for typos, it keeps the assholes from saying one thing and going back and editing the post and then say they never said the first post.

Besides, what is so hard about making a new post?

Fonz · 2005-07-13, 10:03 AM

50% of your posts are completely stupid and pointless so far....

A 1 hour time limit on editing posts is completely pointless. You should be able to edit your posts at all times.

If I am posting in the classified section for example than I must be able to UPDATE INFORMATION based on my listing when it changes.

Either that or I can bug a moderator to do it for me?

What wrong with posting an update in your thread?

Exactly. Post a reply to your thread under it like everyone else does.

Exacly what I was going to say.
One hour seems like plenty of time. It does keep people from posting things they really don't mean. You can't unring the bell.

Little person desirous of editing...you do realize that creating a new post highlights your thread, kicks it up higher on the list and sends out an email to everyone who's participated in the thread, don't you?

WTF??

Jel · 2005-07-13, 02:26 PM

If you don't want it to be public knowledge why are you posting the info on a public forum?

Just wondering

wickedworks · 2005-07-13, 02:33 PM

Because I posted the wrong info. Is that alright with you?

Next someone will ask me to pay to edit a post.

well then you SHOULD want it known. So the people that had already read the info know that it was wrong. New info could make them reconsider.

Jel · 2005-07-13, 02:38 PM

Yeah, that's alright with me

Go ahead and edit your post.

wickedworks · 2005-07-13, 02:43 PM

Wish you could. People who run this place have some kind of nazi laws associated with not allowing post editing.
