Hey :) You can only edit your post/thread for 15 minutes after you have made the post. After that time editing is not allowed.Quote:

Thanks for the response, it does seem like a long winded way to edit a post, especially if a post was a list of everything I have for sale. I would be sending them messages everyday xD
I brought that up about the trading forum in the past, but apparently, it's a "pointless" thing to introduce.
I actually wouldn't think it would be any harm to allow users to edit their own posts in that forum.
The editing settings is global rather than set to specific forums.
Why is it actually limited to 15 minutes?
I always assumed it's because it's hard to moderate if people can go back and edit their posts a long time afterwards?Quote:
