Hi!

What happened to the edit icon in the stories forum?  Can we no longer edit our stories?  That's an important tool for me...I can't spell wroth a carp.  See?   

Thanks,

Jonica

That's ok, fish need mention every once in a while too.

Permission should now be back. Please confirm. I have set the allowed edit time to 10 mins.

PS. can we get that feature back? It's a handy way to update stuff without having to bump the story to the top (wow.. bump! look at me and my techno lingo!)

I have the edit icons on other thread posts, just not in the stories forum.

Yeah, the lack of edit button is disturbing  I hope it comes back soon

The Edit option is enabled for all forums but there is a 10 minute period for edits after which you cannot edit posts.

Yikes!  That sucks actually.  Unlike Gemma I will never learn to spell no matter what but when you have posted a bunch of pictures in a poll and then one of the participants changes their profile picture the picture in the poll goes bye bye.  It was nice to be able to go back days later and edit the poll so the new picture showed up.  I'm not concerned about spelling.  Everyone knows I can't spell anyway.

Without trying to offend anyone, might I ask WHY this restriction on editing was imposed?

The reason I have added the restriction is due to several threads losing their direction when edits happen to posts days after there have been responses.

It's also to ensure we don't lose posts when people report an issue with a poster, only for us to visit the thread and find the offending item edited into blanks.

They like to laugh at my poor grammar and bad spelling.

First I assume you mean the "modify" option as the "edit poll" option is still available for polls. So you threw out the baby with the bath water. If these are the reasons you did it then you have done more damage than good. I think it is worse to have errors, sometimes serious errors, than to have a threat losing its direction. And as for someone removing an offending item isn't hat the result you want? So you don't get to enjoy being a policeman and calling them out. If they hadn't removed the offending issue then what are your choices anyway? You could remove the item but that comes very close to censorship. You could removed their membership and ban them. That may be reasonable but you have stated your are reluctant to ban anyone. Besides that could be construed as even a stronger form of censorship. Finally, you could ask them to remove it -- QED.

My tournaments are complex with tables and images. It is easy to make mistakes, many are of which are not found until someone reports them to me or I find them days later.

I completely disagree.

If you visit most forums, you have a limited edit option. You can't just post a load of diatribe and then once you have stirred up a reaction, go back and wipe out whatever you said.

It's not a big topic. You are still free to say whatever you choose to post. You also have time to check grammer, spelling errors and so on.

I have introduced the limit for specific reasons. It will not be problem for the majority of users.

I can also increase the time limit if users don't think 10 minutes is enough to check / edit / comlete a post.
