I don't know if this has been discussed here before but..... I know that the editing time is 15 minutes. Well, when I went over, I decided to correct my post by creating another post, YET the forum does NOT allow me. It does not make sense. Looking forward to your explanation. aphro:)

aphrodisiac What do you mean creating another post?? is that a totally different post from the one you have created?? or are you trying to edit the original?? I thought that you had 30 mins to 'edit' your post however you liked, even if it was 15 mins then if you are the last person to post, you cannot post again until somebody else has.

tornado2007: if you are the last person to post, you cannot post again until somebody else has. Correct. aphrodisiac: Well, when I went over, All I could really suggest there is to use the preview button to proof-read before you post. I doubt the edit time will change but maybe if you speak nicely to Admin he'll change it. ;)

I did to be honest. I will have to improve my editing skills.

It would be nice if it was longer, especially when writing Omnibus entries. I usually write it as a separate document, then once it is ready, I copy and paste, but this time around I did not. However, if I am the only one having this problem I don't see a reason why the editing time should be changed.

I know:). Thanks Torny and PD.

well, I was wondering if ADM would consider EXTENDING the editing time to 30 minutes. This is not the first time that I was to edit my post and I am denied the access. Please, consider the change ADM, it would make the posting much easier.

I would really like an unlimited Delete for my own posts. Or at least long enough for a nap...

15 mins is enough to make a correction. 15 mins make you think more about what you are writing.

Well, it was 30 mins before so it can be again I guess. I've gotten used to 15 mins now.

Agree. For me it could be even less. It made me answer somebody few times just to get accused of imagining things after the cunning git completely changed the thread to the complete opposite of what I had pointed out. It's probably wise to just wait these 15 minutes before criticizing anyone in here in case your well aimed arguments would make them change their mind and try to make you look like a muppet who doesn't know what the thread is about.

How daft do you have to be to need more than 15 minutes to edit a post??

5 minutes should suffice, I guess some people are slower than others

there you go

I did NOT ask if it is enough for other posters, I asked if the editing time could be extended.

Roberczik - take a hike , will yah.........you are rude, call me names and I don't appreciate it.
Note to myself:
(another idiot joined PF - what else is new. I am so, so lucky I don't have to deal with such idiots in real life. I wonder what would ADM say if we finally got the IDIOT ALERT on PF;)- it would be so, so very handy)
