Ability to edit or delete posts
What has happened to the ability to edit or delete your own posts?
If you make a typo you cannot reaccess your post to rectify it. Please explain.

Fred,
I think that function is only available for a certain period of time after the post has been made. Cheers

The board setting is and always has been that you have 600 minutes to edit your post. After 5 minutes, it will automatically add an "edited by" tag if you edit a post.
We've never had the facility to delete a message, if you require something deleted please use the "report post" function to bring it to a moderator's attention. |

OK. Thanks for that info.
Any particular reason for the 600 min limit on editing?

I would have thought 10 hours would be enough time to reconsider a response if required.

Apparently not. It was brought to my attention when Russell D couldn't edit his post in his trip report.
As I don't spend every waking hour on the forum, then no 10 hours is not enough. Also not having the ability to post while at work if I post something then go to work it will be 14 hours later so therefore no opportunity to edit a mistake I have made. Is Nigel C's opinion to be taken as a moderators statement?
