Vector Tutorials: Can't Edit Posts

[Gokul43201]

If you think it's more than just a minor error, you can report the post and request a correction be applied.

Even though I understand and sympathize with the reasons behind the change and I don't mind people getting chuckles from my typos, I disagree. I think 30 minutes is just too darned short.

I just made a post about a flood in my provincial capital, which I spelt incorrectly. People googling using the name I provided might get just enough enough information to prevent them from realizing my mistake, but not enough information to be useful.

Luckily, Jimmy found my mistake, but I saw his post a few minutes too late to change my spelling, and I would prefer that people not have to look below the first post to get the correct spelling.

In cases like that, just ask a mentor to change the error.

Arg, this short post edit time is horrible!

There needs to be a way that PF let's its members knows when policies have been changed. It is absurd to make members come here and ask why they can't edit posts or why they can't do something they used to be able to. In the worst case, people could just get confused and think their memories are failing or something. You should send out an e-mail or put a very noticeable sign somewhere in the forum.

We do, and you're in the forum where it's done.
