A.K.R. Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 You can only edit posts within 30 minutes of posting. Oh, OK. But I once editied posts outside of this limit. Is this a new restriction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I discovered that the button for editing my own posts is gone. What happened? Only the thread starter can edit his or her post, and only the first post for an indefinite amount of time. Any other posts on the board can only be edited for something between 40-60 minutes. It used to be 30 minutes, but Redmak increased it slightly a little while ago. Unless he changed it, it is still something betwen 40 and 60 minutes (I'm not sure of the exact number of minutes). Perhaps Redmak, Neobond, or Voodoo can post here and let us know exactly how many minutes it is. In any case, this was done to prevent people from covering up their "dirty work" when they have done something wrong. Bottom line is, if it isn't "dirty work" that you are trying to clean up, there should be no shame in PMing a Mod to edit the post for you. If it is "dirty work", well then, you did the crime, and now you do the time! :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted June 2, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 2, 2004 Ohhhh...OK, now I know. Thanks Mods! No problemo. If you ever do need something edited after the 30 minutes for reasons that are more important than spelling, feel free to contact a mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
