Do what I do....
If I can't edit something on my computer, I just cut a strip of black electrical tape and stick it on the monitor at the spot that needs fixin. Works every time....

 

Yaaaaa..... Reread them every day..... It'sa new story..... The joys of "Oldshymer"....

 

This is correct. The time limit to edit posts is 30 days.

There was a time when there was no time limit to edit. However; a certain someone got upset once and went and edited all their posts to be "." This left large gaping holes in threads as some of their posts were useful.

30 Days is pretty generous compared to many other sites. A private admin site I am a member of gives you 2 hours. Many others just give 24 hours at the most.

Thanks for your understanding.

 

I would vote for even a shorter period, 24 hrs to 48hrs tops.

 

Good points.

 

Is there a way to have an admin edit it for you?

 

^^^^ :lol:

 

Since this policy was put in place over a year ago there has been 1 request to edit a post. This is the second one.

When asked I have created a 24 hour window for someone to edit their post.

I have looked for solutions such as being able to edit certain forum areas such as the Classifieds with no limits. Unfortunately the software used only provides for a global setting.

I have seen a few people that are on this site clean out all their posts not only on this site but on MetroplexMINI, NAM and other sites. I would have liked to keep it open to edit by all at any time, but the childish actions of a few have caused me to protect the site overall.

 

I support Nathan in this personally. I too run a couple local-ish auto forums, and would have made the same choice as he, given the circumstances. Thankfully i havent had to cross that bridge..

 

And so it is written, so it shall be

 

It's good to discuss these things, after all, with ya'll there would be no site, the idea is to try and work with everyone. We are all not going to agree, that's fine but you should not feel as you have no voice. Without ideas from the membership the place would stagnate. Your ideas, suggestions, criticisms and complaints are always welcome.

 

Admit it MM, you and I can't remember what we posted 30 days ago, let alone want to edit them. :lol:
