edit post?

[mgmixology]

uhhh i'm having some major brain difficulties today or something....Where has the edit post gone to?

 

[mgmixology]

To the left of reply yes.

But I was looking to update an old thread ( juice review )....there is no option to edit.

After a period of time the option is no longer available.

You are only allowed xx time to edit. If it's past said timeframe you're out of luck.

Well, If I may add, that is some bullhonkey.

I was planning on keeping a running list on my juice review thread....you know, editing in flavors as I try them...
*facepalm*

You can copy and paste your list to make it editable again.

I would also like the ability to edit the first post. We should start a petition!

The primary reason that posts are locked after a period of time is to maintain the integrity of posts and threads. This prevents individuals from going through and editing/deleting post weeks or months down the road. It is extremely unlikely this will change anytime soon.

Funny you mentioned a petition. I actually started one today to reform Square Enix's Customer Support.

Yeah I understand it, It has never been an issue for me...until now

I'm probably missing something, because to me that doesn't make any sense. Couldn't the integrity of a post be improved by editing it after new information becomes available? Most forums that I'm a member of allow the person who starts a thread to continue to edit the first post. (And any subsequent post, I suppose.) The first post in a thread is important because it is where updates and new versions of attachments go so that other members don't have to sift through pages of posts that they don't care about. Allowing this feature would improve my experience.

Too much risk of people worsening or "deleting" the content of the post after conversation has been had. If it's truly important, you can report your own post to us and ask for minor changes once in awhile, or just add another post to the thread.

It's the immature individuals who go through and delete out their posts in a fit of rage. That's why posts get locked on many forums, including ECF. 48 hours is rather generous. Most forums I've participated in lock 'em within 12 hours.

No kidding? I guess that makes sense - I participate mostly in open-source software forums where editing that first post is crucial. Different strokes I guess... Either way this forum is one of my favorites!
