    I swear I was able to edit my own posts, has this ability been removed?

    Or am I misremembering?

    I went to edit a recent post for grammar to make it easier to parse but I cant find how to edit it....

    Only available to edit for a short time (1 hr I think )
    Buy a membership and then you can edit till the cows come home;)

    PS: I think mine is home already, it seems that lockdowns are not all that conducive to her retail
    therapy sessions:p

    I think you have approximately 5 minutes to edit each post made from when you post it if you are not a paid member

    Thanks for the clarification.

    I will be more careful in the future :)

    Any idea how long it takes for the membership to be implemented?
    My payment for membership went through on the 4th, now here we are near enough to a week later and it still doesn't appear to have been instated...

    ^^^^
    When I made my membership payment I sent the forum owner a PM advising him of the fact, so it was implemented quite quickly.

    But, now I am not sure if he even visits this site anymore, so you may be waiting a while, maybe shiney can help you speed up the process.

    Why do you have to pay to correct your own spelling mistakes?
