We can no longer edit our own posts?

Post by Silver Pie »

I wanted to change the title of a thread I started (and edit the first post). Not only can I not edit it, I can't edit any post I've made before today.

Is this a new thing? Or a glitch?

:thinking: I did make a post today and was able to edit it, but I was unable to edit any previous post. I find it frustrating because we used to be able to edit past posts, even if they'd been made a year or so ago.

The thread I started that was a corona virus one, that said "for those who are not afraid." It was intended to be for memes and jokes, and I'd really like to change the title to something like Corona/covid memes and jokes. Besides that, the title I gave it was really stupid (but at the time I started it, all of the thread/posts I read about corona (which is what it was called at the time) were people being really worried about it. It was a while after I started the thread that I saw more and more posts/threads about not buying into how terrible the disease is).

I haven't been able to edit old posts since this forum changed styles back when.

Sounds like it became a thing when the new style came out. Sad. :(

Interesting. Can you edit everything you've ever posted or just your most recent posts?

(I was trying to edit from a laptop.)

:thinking:
I wonder if we can only edit the same day - or if we can edit up to a week (7-8 days, from your post).

That must be it, I can't edit my post on January 10th anymore. I can edit from my phone though, I thought that was the difference but it's not, the duration must be the difference.
