Can't modify/delete a post I made

[B_Turner]

Normally when I am logged in and view a post I made I get the option of editing/deleting that posting. I made a post earlier today that for some reason doesn't offer my any choice but to quote it. I tried logging out and back in, and it doesn't make a difference.

I'm probably doing something wrong here, but I am stumped...Any suggestions?

I don't like that. What's the new rule?

I want to modify/delete a post I made earlier today. Am I out of luck?

It may be the intent, but it will make me post less.

It's like a boss of mine used to say, "it's no crime to wake up smarter."

Know what you mean. I sometimes make a post and read it later in the day and realize it dont say what i meant. Now i cant go back and correct that. Bad idea not allowing at least 24-48 hours to edit post.
Like in a earlier post i said i past when i meant i passed, now I cant fix it.

Almost every post I make, I have some remorse. So I chug a few more
beers, and hammer my original post home. Sometimes I take the contrite
gig as far as I can stomach, but then I get pissed off, and leave that pile
lie where I layed it.
As bad as I have gotten, I have only used the edit feature to correct spelling or grammar, so these ignorant pig farmers here know exactly what I mean!!!!!!

Fish OUT!!!!!!!

Peace....... Homie farmers.....................................

24-48 is just about right, gives a slim window for wiping egg off your face and is still protective of older threads from disgruntled/inebriated editing.
:help:

A couple of days would be nice, or even better, leave it how it was... I always fix up my spelling/grammer etc whenever is see an old post needing attention.

I like Fish's attitude. I think he said he lies a pile or he laid a pile...not sure which.

..........................., or even better, leave it how it was...

Hopefully not, I am in favor of having the time limit and saving continuity and integrity of past threads. A perfect example of a casualty, would be the predator build thread.

+1 We should start this thread again as a poll, so we can all vote.

What if someone replied to that post you made? And then someone replied to that? And then you come waltzing along and delete the original post? Chaos. I can make a post and then check it after posting and live with it. No biggy.
I think it's a wonderful idea and whoever thought of it should get a year's free membership.

It was mentioned in the Seig Heil thread that someone had a wedgy and was going back and deleting all his posts, which of course is going to screw up a bunch of threads. That's what brought it on. So there is a good reason for it.
