Editing a post

[Mr mrs tupcox]

Help please how do you edit a post after posting if wrong.

At the bottom of your post will be an EDIT button.... Click the '3 dot' symbol and choose edit. .
It is timed so if it's not there it's too late to edit.

If it's your post there is an edit button at the bottom of the entry with a pencil picture alongside.

At the bottom of your post there will be "EDIT" button, but this only stays alive for around an hour..

You can only see the edit button for a short period after posting. Then the option is removed.

If you are on a phone like me, you hold on the arrow next to the three dots next to the Report button and Edit choice comes up. Don't hold on Report or you report yourseld which I think I may have done a few times.

Never stopped to think you may not be using a phone screen as that's all I use.

You only need to tap it joy, then the edit button pops up.
And don't worry, you haven't reported yourself.... You have to enter a reason for reporting then submit.

Why is the 'edit' on a timer?

I'd guess so that there's no perpetual chopping and changing later, causing confusion for the audience.

Also a subtle way of getting responders to READ THEIR CONTRIBUTION before pressing the "Post reply" button. IMO it would avoid the pointless arguments that sometimes develop before Jim has to intervene.

I believe it's only really there so mistakes can be corrected.

The problem would be if replies were recieved and the post was later changed the whole thread could become very confusing.

I may be wrong but if so I'm sure others will be allong with other reasons.
