Can you edit your posts?

Oldiron58

Hi, I'm new here - can anyone help with this: when you've posted something, but then notice a typo or want to change something you've written, although there is a edit symbol at the top RH corner of your post once it's gone live, when you click on it nothing happens - just a blank tab with no options. Anyone know if you can in fact edit posts you've done, as on Facebook for example?

It works for me, but it only works for like an hour, if you try to edit after an hour has passed the same happens for me

Maybe it's because you are new?? I know some forums are a bit restrictive to new members

Hi, I’m new(ish) to the forums and I didn’t have an edit button to begin with. I can now edit posts within five minutes. I think the more you engage and ‘level up’, the more features become available. Hope that helps.

I've never seen an edit button, if there is one it'd be nice for it to be nore obvious.

It's at the top right of the post box. Small circle with 3 dots. But as others have said, it's only available for a short time after posting.

Can be seen here on my own post above:

Hello all,

I’ll give a bit of context which hopefully will explain why some of you can edit posts and why some of you can’t.

As you are browsing the online community you may notice that members have a title beneath their username, these can include:

• Listener
• Connected
• Contributor
• Empowering
• Pioneering
• Trailblazing
• Championing

These titles indicate what Rank the member has achieved within the online community, or how many Points they have earned. Points can be earned when members react to your discussions and comments using the Insightful, Like and Awesomebuttons. Points can also be earned by unlocking Badges.

Ranks do not make any member more important than another. Instead, they help committed and active members of the online community earn abilities such as the ability to start private message conversations or edit their own posts.

The online community’s rank structure is as follows:

Listener

• awarded automatically when you register

Connected

• awarded when a member earns 25 points

Contributor

• awarded when a member earns 50 points
• unlocks the ability to Edit own posts for 5 minutes after posting
• unlocks the Start Private Message Conversations ability

Empowering

• awarded when a member earns 100 points
• unlocks the ability to Edit own posts for 15 minutes after posting

Pioneering

• awarded when a member earns 500 points
• unlocks the ability to Edit own posts for 60 minutes after posting

Trailblazing

• awarded when a member earns 750 points
• unlocks the ability to Edit own posts for 60 minutes after posting

Championing

• awarded when a member earns 1000 points
• unlocks the ability to Edit own posts for 60 minutes after posting

You can see what Rank you hold by visiting your profile. Your profile’s title will be your username. Your rank will be displayed in a small box next to your username.
