I have a question about that though. I made a post yesterday and then wanted to delete it five minutes after I wrote it and it wouldn't let me delete it. It was within the 24 hour time frame. Have our delete priveleges been removed?Originally Posted by valanhb
That was changed a while back, Sam. The editing feature is removed after 24 hours. This was done because there were quite a few instances when the original poster didn't like the answers they were given so essentially deleted their first post by editing, thus making the whole thread useless as a future educational tool.
For the first post, you cannot delete the post because it deletes the thread. Basically the same principal - there were issues with people who would come in, not like the answers, and delete their own thread. If you make an error in posting a thread, for instance a duplicate thread or something you think later contains too much personal information, contact a moderator and generally we'll take care of it for you.Originally Posted by Charcoal

If I recall correctly, you have to post a certain number of times before you can edit. At the bottom of your post on the far left is a wee flag. If you could edit a wee pencil will also appear.Not looking to delete my last post, just want to correct a word missing from the title. It's only been about 15 minutes, and can't edit.
