I notice people who submit posts are not permitted to edit them.

Whis can be very annoying and an unneccessary restriction. It is not uncommon th make small spelling mistakes or use wording that one could want to correct in order to accomplish a higher quality post. Please consider changing this policy. It helps JaguarForums end up with a higher quality material.

 

gunner, in the bottom right of the text box that you have posted is an "edit" button.

Good practice is to reread your post before clicking on the "post" button. If you have made a mistake after posting, you simply click "edit" and correct mistake or add to post.

Hope this helps.

You as a member can only edit your post not the title.

 

If you use the "New Reply" or "Go Advanced" buttons, you also have the "preview post" function.

 

Just one caveat to the advice above, New members do not have the Edit facility until after the short qualifying period.

By my calculations, Gunnar should be good to go.

 

Ok thanks for clarifying, so it seems new members have a grace period.

I still cannot see any edit button for this post:

Or will the Edit button also expire after some period for new posts ?

 

Once you get the edit privilege you can edit any of your own posts - there's no expiry time.
Another useful thing is to use the 'report post' button if you accidentally post twice - just explain what's wrong and one of us will delete it.

 

Gunnar, if you post in the new members section our all powerful Admin will likely upgrade you to unrestricted access.

 

Gunnar - what you have been told above is correct.

You are still a "registered member" and have not as yet fulfilled the criteria to make the jump to "Full Forum Acess" member.

I can't see an intro in the new member section for you?

Generally, those who take the time n trouble to make an intro are updated within a day or so, sometimes within an hour or so even.

I have now upgraded your status and you should now be able to edit posts as required.

Like anywhere else in life, the higher your status the more privileges you earn here.

Should be all good for you as of now

Thanks

 

Thanks I will write an intro, I was granted the edit button now.
