The one hour time limit on edits...

Although the new site is growing on me, I do find the one hour time limit on edits to be a little restrictive, especially when  you are trying to add rolling information to a post.  I was recently re...

    Hi GabeU,

     

    Thanks for posting. Let's try out an unlimited time to edit your own posts. At the very least, if there's any question about what was initially posted, the mods can see the edit history for everything.

Gwalk900, do you mean there's a limit to how long a post can be? ETA: I'm sure there's some kind of a limit.... I meant an unreasonably short one.

No limit on how long the posts can be. Sure need the edit capacity  to remove the trashed and garbled  replies related to graphics  that get trashed.

      Thanks, Liz.  

       

      For certain situations that will be very helpful to people.  And it's good that you mods can see the edit history so edits that shouldn't be done once replied to can be reverted by you.  We all know that kind of edit can cause problems.

       

      It's too bad that it can't be set up to have it where a post can't be edited once replied to, but I know different community sites have different options and different rules, so hopefully no one will take advantage of this new ability in the wrong way.  But, again, that you guys can see all edits is very good insurance against that.  

       

      I know the boards are still a work in progress, and with everyone giving their ideas it can end up being a great experience for all.

       

      Thanks again.
