How do I edit an older Message - Especially for ScreenShot Contest Thread

[Airwolf]

Hey all,

 

I am trying to figure out on how to submit a redit to my entry post for Sept's contest, I can't see the edit icon.  Am I locked in already?

 

Thanks,

Pretty sure the edit option last only an hour or so (or less).

After that the best you can do is quote your own post and add the edit below it.

Edit is only available until someone posts a reply,......then that person has the option to edit his/her post until yet another post is made and so on.

Testing.

If that were true, someone posting at almost the same time would kill your ability to edit.

Editing a post is limited to about 30 min. from the time the original post is made.  After that time the only way to change would be to add a reply to the original post with the corrections you want to make.

   Exactly. Only the last post is editable by the postee. I don't know about the 30 minute scenerio. If no one posts after this, I will check back in 30 minutes and let you know.

Sorry Wolter
