    Question [Solved] Cannot edit my posts?

    Discussion in 'Support & Feedback' started by ajaye, Mar 2, 2017.

    At the bottom of my posts I have only the Quote and Reply options and can't see how to edit my posts. (I thought I'd edited a post before but if so I can't remember how - sorry!) Thanks in advance.

    I think it's because you don't have a whole lot of posts. It's a spam safeguard, so your ability to edit ends after a certain time.

    Ahh I see, well that's a much better explanation than me going bonkers. :)
    Thanks Spencer.

    ETA yep it must be a time out thing cos there's that button now, right beside Report.

    I think there is a 5-minute window within which you can edit your posts. Eventually this limit is removed (so you can edit your posts whenever) but I don't actually know the requirement for that.
