    Hi,

    I've been on this forum for just a few days.

    In those few days, I have made a few comments.
    The trouble is, I have not found a way for me to edit what I have said.

    Please let me know if there is a way to edit comments.


    Truly,

    Karl

    I've been here 6 months+ and still there's some posts I can't edit, might pester GP about that some time.

    Bordsilver, how did you manage to get that link to scroll to the desired post? Googled it before but couldn't find a workable answer

    I too was just wondering about being able to edit my previous posts, I came to the conclusion that each post i were to make was going to have to be almost without mistake first time around lol.

    Tread warily with uneditable posts. After 1 week you will receive 24hrs to edit each of your posts. Plenty of time to withdraw, rephrase and respell.

    After 24hrs has elapsed you can hit the "report" button on a post and ask it to be unlocked. This happens often in the sales threads but not sure about other areas around here. :)
