Not to my knowledge.
However, Jack has just installed some new software and perhaps, its something he just hasnt worked out yet.

If its your post, I believe you can still edit it.
Once someone replies to your post, you can no longer delete it, but you should still be able to edit your posts.

Rich.

I'm looking to refresh the URL to an image in my gallery. I'm guessing the current red X presented is a possible result of the forum software update. In that context, I'm not seeing the edit Burton for my post.

There has to be a way to exploit the "edit after a response" functionality, but despite 3 years of trying to figure out a way I remain totally out of ideas...

Y'all please forgive the weird name of the thread. I'm past the time limit.

I thought I found the answer to my question. It turns out, they were talking about editing images in their gallery. Not a current post.

There's a time limit on editing/deleting posts by users which is set by the Admin.

Rich,

Y'all have got to turn OFF the time limit on editing old posts. At a minimum, greatly extend the limit.


Currently, it isn't working at all for me.

I beleive this is a global change that, once made, would affect all users. While it sound like this is something many folks want, changes that affect all users are left to Jack.
He's currently working on many, many tweaks and issues from the current software upgrade and Im sure he'll get to this in good time.

Rich.

Well I hate to be the stick in the mud, but I still can't edit anything of mine in this thread ~ Basic Turbo Intake Tube Upgrade Guide (Link).


As a matter of fact, I can't edit any of my posts above in THIS thread (the one you're reading right now).
