You can no longer EDIT your old posts on here I see only the last one if its the latest one in a thread.

Able to EDIT this post but not one I made over a year ago

there's also a potential danger here in that one may wish to edit an old post due to a change of opinion in the intervening period. replying to it would of course allow for that, but the original post may be more colorful than one would have wished for . that's maybe just me tho

I may be wrong but I wonder if the trigger for can't edit is if another forumite has quoted from it. Never tested it but experience seems to point that way.

Doesn't look like it, there's probably a timeframe instead, within which you can edit your own posts.

Judging by my posts in the jokes thread the mods may have that timeframe set at 24hrs, may be able to confirm that theory in 3 hrs or so

It was always the case that you can't edit a post when somebody's replied to it, and rightly so. But I think the timeframe for editing a post that's not replied to and longer the last of the thread, was seven days. I think that may have been adjusted now.

I can edit ones that were replied to. See if you can edit yours now?

Btw, I've set a reminder at the 24 hour mark of one of yesterday's posts, and looks like I do lose the ability to edit soon as exactly 24 hours have passed

Why does Moronsoft assume that just because you've plugged a HDMI lead into your computer you are about to use it, and switch display device?

flipping McDonald's pay points, always out of paper. No receipt, no order number, have to ask at the counter every time. May as well just purchase from the flipping counter!

Stop talking about McDonalds.
I can't drive or walk to one. I've tried to replicate a Mac, but failed. It's a bit of magic, corporatised.
And french fries are a fire hazard for sure.

My nearest McDonalds is 8.9 miles away ... bit far for a sausage & egg breakfast roll!
