How do I edit a post?

[SlashL]

The FAQ indicates there's an edit button by the post. Where is it? The config indicates I do have the ability to edit my posts.

That function is actually turned off. From the FAQ:

"Can I edit my own posts?

If you have registered, you will be able to edit and delete your posts. Note that the administrator can disable this ability as he desires. Your ability to edit your posts may also be time-limited, depending on how the administrator has set up the forum.

To edit or delete your posts, click the button by the post you want to edit. If your post was the first in the thread, then deleting the post may result in the removal of the entire thread.

After you have made your modifications, a note may appear, which notifies other users that you have edited your post. Administrators and moderators may also edit your messages but this note may not appear when they do so."


We have that function turned off to keep people from posting things they shouldn't be posting, then editing them before a Forums Admin can read them.

I run a VB forum aswell and I think the 5 min rule (or what admin chooses) should apply for the edits. Sometimes, infact almost always I need to edit my post after writing it. The 5 min edit rule should still keep control in the mods/admins hands tho :)
Just my 2 cents.
Keep up the great work Kaneva.
