can you all modify your posts?

Hello folks,

could you all look at a post you've made and tell me if you can modify your posts?

You should see these buttons at the top right of your post..

You should all now see other options at the TOP RIGHT of your post for 24 hours after making the original post. Let me know if it works.

many thanks

Andy

Hi Andy  --  I seem to remember modifying several posts in the past but only until another post has been added afterwards then it's pretty well fixed. I have the modify button aswell.  Julian

Andy,

I always could modify my posts for a while after posting, not sure for how long though. But I now also have the 'Remove' option.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!

Hi Andy,
Just to let you know I have got a Modify button on my posts. I wonder if some respondents were expecting to see this button on ALL posts, not realising it is only the original poster that can Modify things.

A couple of other points as you are in 'administering' mode.

1. The Link to calendar is still coming up with Invalid year value.

2. And on the subject of modifying posts, maybe you could ask everyone to actually remove out of date posts. There are an awful lot of posts about demonstrations, shows, events that are out of date, and just cluttering up the forum. That would also improve performance of the forum (sorry, ex-systems engineer showing through ::) )

Now that is interesting. Now I have added a new comment, 'Modify' comes back up on my old ones. ::) ::)

I will leave it with you as I will only confuse things. :)
