[closed] misc: Edit button

[Little-Miss]

I may be having a moment here....

 

I've just gone back to edit an oldish but recent post of mine and there's no edit button?

 

Is that normal and its just something i havent noticed before?

If it was a really really old post could this have been caused when data has been migrated from one host to another?

I might be wrong, but i think in certain area's you cant edit your post.

There is definatly a very short window that is enforced on editing now, 4-5 days. I found this when trying to edit the first papercut thread post. It is totally annoying to be honest and I do hope that the admins see fit to relax its enforcement at least a little or in specificly requested posts like the one that I wanted to update.

yeah, i might pm one of the mods cus there is something i need to change...long story

Hey,

Its currently set to 24 hours since the post was made. After that you should email/pm an admin and we will sort out your request.

The reason for the locking of posts is to prevent someone editing mass amounts of posts which destroy the thread context. Its not a problem though if you need it edited
