Mac of Cygnet Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 I recently went back to a post after an hour to edit links which I hadn't done properly, but the edit button had disappeared. What is the time limit for editing posts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHutch Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 I believe it's 1hr. See; https://canalworld.net/forums/index.php?/topic/93354-editing/ Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the time limit for editing posts? I asked this question some time ago, and various people rsponsded with various time I can edit my post for maybe an hour, other said 24 or 48 hours. Certainly I think an hour is too short a time as a post written before going to bed may not have its mistake noticed until the next morning, by which time it's too late.

See; https://canalworld.net/forums/index.php?/topic/93354-editing/ Daniel I did search for 'editing' before asking the question, but got no results, but I see 'editing' appears only in the title of your link, not in any of the posts! So the basic search excludes topic titles - another thing to keep in mind (I know you can specify titles in the advanced search). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that would be a good idea. Being able to go back and edit any of your posts could make nonsense of some threads. I wasn't complaining about the limit, just asking what it was. I think an hour is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frangar Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I’m not so sure. Some might totally change their posts I suppose but if you’ve had a brain wobble or mistyped it’s really annoying when you notice it a bit later. Especially if like me you are dyslexic and can’t always see what is wrong at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
