  • Editing posts

    It tells me I can edit my posts, but how on earth do I do it? If I call up a post I want to amend, I see no option for editing.

    (I'm talking about a follow-up post in a thread.)

    Re: Editing posts

    There's an edit window - a few hours, at least - during which you can amend a post. But you can't go back and change a message you posted further back. In those cases, a follow-up post clarifying your earlier one is fine.

    The "Edit Post" feature is to help you correct mistakes or clear up a statement that you catch shortly after it's published. The time-limited window makes it more difficult to completely retract or change something - particularly after others have commented on or responded to it.

      Ugh. Should be overnight, say 24-hours.

      You know, sometimes you post things, go to sleep, wake up next morning and have a second thought.

      That's why I gave up ICQ.

        LOL Albert, I dig your mind! the very idea of giving up ICQ for second-thoughts....thanks for my first chuckle of the day.

        Have you tried AIM? (G) I am told...haven't prove this to myself, that AIM is "safer" so far as computer intrusion, etc.
        Stop being lost in thought where our problems thrive.~
