How do I edit my posts

[Mike Ayling]

I used to be able to edit my posts but it does not seem to be available any longer.

Once I have posted, there is an ‘edit’ option bottom left?

All I can suggest is you contact the mods for an answer.

Aye the 'Edit' seems to have vanished from mine too

 

[PeteXXX]

I can edit mine

Edit: see!

It depends how old they are? I have thousands of posts from years ago that are now locked but ones in the last year or so can be edited.

There's a time cutoff, beyond which older posts can't be edited. I think it's a year?

The imperial century a month challenge requires repeatedly editing your initial post (at least it did when I was in it) and the mods had to do a special tweak to keep posts editable. (Which suggests the limit was maybe less than a year)

I just did a quick check. Early 2023 posts were locked, later ones were okay, so editable for 2.5 years?

I can go no further back than the 8th April last year. 365 days.

Strange; I will try to find the secret!

I thought that it might be a longer edit time for threads that I had started but I found one just over a year old which I can't edit.

I can't see the pattern!

I just tried some random experimentation. I can find posts just over a year old that I can't edit, and yet I was allowed to edit this post from 2019

I too fail to see a pattern. But I haven't looked very hard.

Edit: The 2019 post was in the imperial century a month challenge, which has editing specifically allowed. I think the limit is 1 year but there are exceptions, like the challenge threads.

Yes, there's a time limit for editing.
I you want something edited but can't do it, sent a contact us message to the mods team, with a link to the post to be edited and the new text.
