Editting Threads

I see that according to the posting rules on each page that a member can edit his/her own posts. However, there does not seem to be a way to do it on older threads. It does show on a new thread. Please advise.

Hmm.... I just now noticed some of my posts do not have the option to edit either.... thats weird.

If you can edit it, it will be to the left of the "quote" button at the bottom of your post.

Hi Jim
I just noticed thats as well there seems to be a time sensitive limit as to how long you have to edit a posting
I would like to see that lifted if possible
Take care and ride safely dear friend
Yours Hank

I believe there's a time limit on editing, not sure what the default limit is though. This is basically to prevent people from changing their post, in which it wouldn't make sense in a thread afterwards. It's more for thread starters than replyers.

EDIT: seems it's set at about 1 day.. I'll increase it.

Hi Mike
The problem is during the move certain bits of content didnt make the move over properly
For example the you tube links in my older postings dont show up properly, they show code instead of the link or embedded video, some photos i uploaded are the same
It would be nice if i could when i have time correct those type of posts but with things as they are now i dont even get the option
Any thing that you could do to help rectify the matter is deeply appreciated
Take care and ride safely dear friend
Yours Hank

I just went back on the ScootDawgPB site and did some looking at some of my posts and replys that were written a very long time ago when I first became a member and everyone of them has a modify or delete buttom. Editing this reply I see that it can be deleted, however, the original post can be edited but not deleted

Yep, it's a simple setting.

So by your settings, if the author of a thread wanted to delete it he could not do it?

True for complete threads. I was talking about threads and replys written by the member who wrote them.
