Hello,

I posted on this forum yesterday and I was able to edit my post. Today, I want to edit the same post but I can't, because the "edit" button is gone.

I made another post today and I am able to edit only the post today.

How can I edit yesterday's post? I need to delete someone's name on there from an email address... thanks.

Hi, happycatmeows!
...Please try the following to find an answer to your question:
  • Click the link labeled "Help" under the "Reporting Server Status" graphic near the top right side of the page.
  • Under "Search Help Topics," next to the text "Enter keywords to search for," enter the Keyword "edit" (but leave out the quotes) into the text field and press the "GO" button to the right of the text field.
  • In the Search Results, click the link labeled "Posting."
  • Search the page for the section labeled "Editing Posts" and review the last paragraph (especially the last several words of that paragraph).
...If you still have questions, please post as a reply here.

Thanks, I will try that. I actually tried searching for the keyword "edit post" somewhere else on this forum but the results did not help me find an answer, but I will try your method. Thanks! smile.gif

Unfortuantely that information is currently missing from the FAQ, I will work to add it back in. But in the mean time; the answer to your question is that you are only able to edit your own posts for a limited period of time. After that time limit expires the edit link is automaticly removed. Please send a PM to either myself using the link that follows this post or to Wazoo with the information that you need to remove and we will take care of it for you.

Later edit: The updated FAQ entry may be found at: SECTION 6 - Troubleshooting & Quick Links/Shortcuts

Additional edit: It looks like Wazoo has already made the necessary edits.
