Please let me know if you are able to post a message in this thread (well, this forum, really) and edit it. If it doesn't work, which I suspect it won't, I will try the next thing.

Works!

[Da King]

I do not see an option to edit. :(

EDIT: I see it!

If this can be edited, the following line will be removed.

[Line removed]

The preceding line was deleted after posting this message. Yes, editing is possible.

Hello. I can edit this.

[Flack]

Testing shortly.

[Flack]

Testing shortly.

Cannot edit. And that's okay.

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

Infuriating! You have the same access as the others. Wait - can you see if you can edit a post right after making it? I bet there is a time limit to it.

[Flack]

Okay, test #2.

EDIT: Yes, I can edit it immediately afterward.

Wjat??????????????

Helph

I bet there is a time limit to it.

There is. On threads/boards where editing is enabled, the post can only be changed within about 5 minutes of hitting the 'submit' button. Editing does not increase the time. It's good for making minor corrtections where you said someting and mispelld something or forgot to put in some and left them out.

I fell asleep or something, before I could post a correction, so I'll repeat the previous item with correction :

Edit: the last sentence was deliberately mangled for demonstration. it should end "minor corrections where you said something and misspelled something or forgot to put in some words or left them out."

Okay, because of the constant complaining about this, and after all of you confirmed IN THIS THREAD that you can edit posts, I increased it to two days.

You can all edit your posts up to 2880 minutes after making it - according to phpBB3. Does it work? Did they fuck it up? I have no idea.

You can all delete your posts up to 60 minutes after making it.

I DEMAND RECOMPENSE!
