aslan Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Maybe I'm just stupid, but how do I edit a post of mine? I can't see how to do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkGTS Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Not used Firefox, but I get an edit button in all the other browsers, Safari, IOS, Windows whatever junk explorer it's called Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I'd try changing browsers to start with, Firefox is full of holes, which is why I stopped using it on my Macbook Pro. I just use Chrome now as it keeps all my bookmarks across machines and we can use it on our office PC's, haven't found anything it doesn't like yet.

Yes you're right, I can edit a post straight after using safari. But I cannot edit an older post. Is this right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Beanoir™ Posted April 24, 2016 Founder Share Posted April 24, 2016 I think there's a time limit of being able to go back and edit old posts, not sure how long after but I've noticed it, on other forums too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance this can be changed to allow editing [Not just for the 15 minutes after posting: or whatever short timescale it is now] ? ***Even if only in the section for people with ongoing build threads perhaps ? I’d like to keep a running tally of updates / maintenance / costs - for reference, for my own benefit: and of course to show potential new owners some of ‘real Porsche ownership’ perhaps. At the moment I’d need to copy and paste the old specs, add to it - and then do a new post in my topic for every (currently frequent) update. IF a user was to be able to edit even just the first post in a build thread topic - it would mean specs / costs / modifications etc could be somewhat ‘silently’ brought up to date without needing numerous new posts to do so.... This is the case on many vehicle forums I’m on and allows for updates without additional ‘clutter’ / bandwidth etc etc. Just a thought and hoping it’s something you might consider.
