Editing my posts????

[Lowjiber]

Is there some reason why I can't edit my posts?

Thanks in advance.

Aye, if I recall correctly, you need a minimum of 250 posts before you can edit. If you've written something which you feel compromises your post or hinders communication, just drop a line to one of the mods and I'm sure they'll lend a helping hand

Hope this helped

Correct as Qualia says, 250 posts before you can edit, if you do something wrong report the post and we can help out.

And there is the 'Preview Post' facility in the meantime , allowing you to double check things before hitting the 'Post' button ... 

[Lowjiber]

Thanks for the helpful information.  I didn't know, and just thought I couldn't find "the button".

it's a bit rough, 250 posts in order to edit Lowjiber. We both have a long way to go...

Nicoscy,

Sadly this was introduced on the back of a spree of new members writing antagonistic comments on site then changing them so the offence went mostly unseen by the Moderators. Very much a case of the few spoliing it for the majority.

I trust you can understand why now.

250!

50 would be more reasonable.

Makes excellent sense.

Mmmm, once upon a time I could edit posts and use the classifieds, (I think at the time it was 50 posts, which I had passed)  now I can't do either, having been a well behaved mamber for a few years. I recently had a post where i missed out one word which i would have normally just edited to include. Seems a lot of effort, reporting the post and getting it modified by a moderator just to add a word. 

Still, rules are rules and I must abide by them. Guess i will just have to  write more posts so that I can eventually edit my posts

Well I'm writing this just to bump my post count!

Silly idea really. you may find your post count starts to shrink

I wouldn't worry too much, most of us are pretty sloppy with our spelling etc so it won't look out of place . 

As others have said, anything really bothering you, just let us know and we can sort it

I think the OP's question has been answered here.
