Not being able to edit a post after 2 minutes is plain silly. I could see making a limit of 30 or 60 minutes but 2 minutes is way too small.

 

Huh? Whats the deal? Can't edit after 2 minutes??!!

 

I agree that more time is needed.

 

I think the whole time concept is a bit ridiculous anyway. How's that gonna work in the For Sale section? Is the thread starter gonna have to contact a mod to edit the price?

 

Damn! See I was gonna edit that post but my times up!

I guess this means we can't delete our posts either? Someone splain please

 

absolutely pointless .. what are we logging our post to the T now?

 

I don't get how editing a post could be a bad thing enough for them to get rid of it. Practical function, will be missed.

 

Makes no sense.

 

I've had more than a few people say really nasty things to me or post nasty photchops only to edit them a few minutes laster knowing the chances of them getting caught by mods is minimal. That's the only reasoning behind it I can think of. I've got a thick enough skin and can handle it moreso than not being able to edit a mistake I made in a post after 2+ minutes.

 

I sure hope there's better reasoning behind it than that.

 

yes, i highly doubt this whole fiasco is based on instances solely with you, Ike.

 

The one thing I love about the edit button is the fact I could correct any mistakes or typos that I could have missed. Now with that gone. We all look like horrible spellers. Yay.

 

phwew.....here I thought they were just harassing ME more. The reduced time to edit a post will only generate more posts. If a person cannot edit their posts, the will only create another post to correct a previous one.

When will my ability to view pictures be restored? You never told me what that was a punishment for.....will you at least tell me how long this restriction will remain?

When I say "you" I mean ANYBODY.

It makes it difficult to keep the members directory updated.

 

Wow, who thought time limiting the edit feature would be a good idea? That's a horrible idea. What benefit is there? This really needs to be changed back. Just look at all the unhappy forum users.

 

Could an administrator please explain the purpose of this new policy?

 

Above is the error msg I get... Just contact an admin EVERY time you want to edit/delete a post.

That sux.

 

Wow, that is stupid. I am pretty sure I will find some errors in this post 2 minutes after I post it so I will be contacting an admin to edit my post.

 

wow...I don't get that error message......I get this one.

 

Why the heck is there an edit time limit at all?

In that case there should also be a posting time limit. Like when someone starts a thread you only have 5 minutes to post in it until it's closed. That makes a lot of sense and would definitely benefit this forum.

 

there was some discussion a little bit agop that there already was a time limit. a mod asked what it was. i dont remember there being talk about a new limit. ill bring it up to the other mods.

 

Thanks - It makes sense to go back to the old setup. How will group buys work if you cannot update the initial group buy post? Or, how about RP being able to update his first post with the final words about the blower when it is ready?

 

It was a new one on me. There are several of the mods that don't like it as well. We'll see what we can do.

 

OK wait a minute ... our ENTIRE EVOLV-Chicago Meet thread is based on me editing the first post to keep the meets up in the first post. If this is the way it will stay, you will only force us to use another forum to keep our meets in. THAT would be very sad, as I like this forum and would really like to stay here as our home base.

Please count my vote for NOT ACCEPTABLE ... and it has nothing to do with correcting spelling errors. Please please please look into this.

 

We want edit back

 

I am with redshedevil (she is our leader and if we do not do as she says we are beaten) this is a stupid change. The ability to edit posts is an essential tool for many people on this forum. I don't understand the motivation for this change and it still has not been explained to us.
