carmatic Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 i have been under the assumption that i could edit my posts up to 45 minutes after i posted them, but after what seemed only 15 minutes i have lost the ability to edit the post... im confused???

splur Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I thought it was 5-10 minutes or as soon as someone else posted on the thread. Which makes more sense wouldn't it? I have no idea what it actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneyardBrew Member Posted January 30, 2010 Member Share Posted January 30, 2010 I think you should have the option to edit your post at all times. It's annoying to find out I made a mistake that I can't go back and correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted January 30, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted January 30, 2010 The reason there is a time limit is because you can make threads confusing if you start editing posts while there have been replies and particularly replies to your posts.

carmatic Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 i could swear that there was a thread about the edit grace period being 45 minutes now, i have posted a bunch of replies in it, and now i cant find it anymore... it also mentioned something about not showing the 'edited by' line if we chose to hide it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growled Member Posted January 31, 2010 Member Share Posted January 31, 2010 So how long do we have? Just my opinion, but 10 minutes is plenty long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJediMedia Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I don't like it. This new editing window is way TOO short! I KEEP adding consecutive posts! I also can't edit the OP post anymore now? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted January 31, 2010 Administrators Share Posted January 31, 2010 Editing a post is allowed for 5 minutes, this allows you to correct topic title (if its a new post) and the content. The OP hack still needs to be added, and will be back soon. Tier2 subscribers have unlimited edit rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
