S2000magician Inner circle Yorba Linda, CA 3465 Posts	Posted: Aug 7, 2004 06:49 am 0 Every once-in-a-while I'll pull up a thread on which I have posted and want to edit my post, only to find that there is no *edit* icon. This is, to say the least, weird. Has anyone else seen this, or am I just very, very special? When this happens, is there anything I can do to edit my posts, apart from coming back an hour later and hoping the icon is there? Thanks!

Dave Scribner Assistant Manager Lake Hopatcong, NJ 4864 Posts	Posted: Aug 7, 2004 11:23 am 0 Here'e the explanation from the rules and etiquette forum Quote: Post editing and deletion: It is our policy that once a message is posted on the board it will forever remain unless said message is in violation of our rules and policies. After all, the quality and quantity of the various messages on the Café is why folks frequent this site on a daily basis. That said, members may edit their post if the message is LESS THAN 30 MINUTES OLD AND there has been no replies to the message. If the post is older than 30 minutes or a reply has been posted, the member will get one of the following two messages: ---------------------- "Sorry, you may not edit this message because the 30-minute time limit for editing has passed. This message may only be edited or deleted by staff." OR "Sorry, you may not edit this message because a reply has been posted. This message may only be edited or deleted by staff." Where the magic begins

Dave V Inner circle Las Vegas, NV 4824 Posts	Posted: Aug 8, 2004 07:37 am 0 That is true, up to a point. The staff will make grammatical corrections and minor alterations as long as they don't change the meaning of the post. This would cause all sorts of confusion for anyone trying to follow the other messages that have already been posted in the thread. As Dave Scribner already said, as long as they don't violate the Café rules, they will remain as part of our permanent records. No trees were killed in the making of this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
Mya Angel Special Assistant California 1396 Posts	Posted: Aug 8, 2004 04:10 pm 0 I have also mentioned in another post (and may be where you heard it) that if you need a correction and the time has elapsed you can use the report to mod button at the top of each post, inform us of the corrections you need made and we will edit your post for you. Mya There is nothing that remains so constant as change. Don't end up like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set. He who slings mud will surely lose ground.
