[How to] Edit your post

[Makai Guy]

You must be logged in to the bbs in order to edit your post.

You may edit your own message up to 48 hours after it has been posted to the board.

IN THE FIRST 48 HOURS:
Bring the post up on your screen and:

• To edit the TEXT of your message (you can only edit your own message):
  1. Click the 'edit' link at the bottom of the message. This will pop up a window in which you can edit your message. [Note: after the 48 hour limit has expired, the link will not be displayed.]
     
     
  2. Edit your post as desired.
     
     
  3. If you wish to preview your changes, click the Preview button at the bottom of the screen, then scroll down to see the final view.
     
     
  4. When satisfied with your edit, click the Save button at the bottom of the screen.
     
     
• To edit the TITLE of your thread (you can only edit your own thread):
  1. Click the 3-dot (...) button upper right of the first post to display a pull-down menu.
     
     
  2. Click Edit Thread
     
     
  3. Edit your title
     
     
  4. Click Save

After your initial 48 hours has expired you will no longer be able to edit your post. If an edit is needed after this time, whenever possible, please just add a reply to the message containing your additional information and/or changes. If an edit of the original post is absolutely necessary, you must request the assistance of a moderator. The easiest way to do this is via the Report link at the bottom of the post in question (NOT in the post you are reading now), giving your desired change and the reason for the request.

Note:

• Do NOT alter, edit, or delete anything edited into your post by a BBS administrator or moderator. Likewise, do not replace text that has been removed by a moderator or administrator. These are considered to be serious offenses and may result in a loss of posting privileges.
