Why is this link only in one thread ?... Also another question ?

[JohnDeere4300_KY]

In the thread "Attention all nuts", ..When I go to reply to a post, this is above the "post icons."

This link.

Duc, Now another question.

Is there anyway the site could be fixed so we could have more time to "edit a post" ??

Thanks!!!

I think I will chalk it up as a bug - its a dead link too, oh well

I think the editing is either 30 or 45 minutes, so make your case and dont make a mistake, otherwise its in stone LOL

If the question is you want to extend it? how long?

If its a certain thread in the past - then contact me or the team and we will look into it....

The "other" site used to be 12hrs, but now it seems its indefinite, possibly a oversight but I can now edit post's from month's/years ago now?

I think 12 to 24 hours is good...it is definitely to short now.

I hadn't seen a link like that in the reply box before, and thought someone should know.

I don't believe I even have 30 minutes.. I can leave a reply, and then come back to it, and I can't edit my post... Then it's a stone.

Yeah, I would like to have the time extended... If it isn't a big problem to do.

Indefinite!... I don't know why they need it like that.... Maybe they are giving everyone time to remove their own bad post.

12 to 24 hours would be great!... I do use spell check, and preview my post to read back over it, but I still make mistakes.

A few months ago I posted the wrong picture... When I went back to the thread I realized it, but didn't have time to change it... So I had to remove it from my "control panel."

Thanks "MODS" for listening, and not talking mean.

Just so you know it was set for 1 hour and now it was moved to 2 hours..... Im sure indefinite was a mistake on other site, and 12/24 hr is too long....

experience has shown that this is effective and minimizes mistakes from the start...

hope this helps

OK, Thanks!

2 hours will be better!

Duc - Some sites with very large and active "classified" sections do that so that the seller (often a dealer) can change asking prices or availability or quantities regularly without a long string of update posts in each thread.

It works better than you might think in such cases... although I see no such need here.

[Ducati996]

Good point Dougster! The classifieds can be setup differently (and at least here, appear to be that way already with no tweaks).

The problem is more prevalent when a poster edits posts or threads ( a little bit of revisionism?) and the entire thread no longer makes sense -

The window is a self check mechanism for posters to self regulate themselves first so others dont have too....

just my observations/experience, mileage may vary

I prefer the longer edit time! Thanks!
I often go back and re-read and want to make corrections.
