Question: WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM TIME ALLOWED TO EDIT A POST?

Does it start from OPENING THE REPLY WINDOW -- or does it start WHEN THE POST ACTUALLY SENT?

I'm probably going to have to go to MS Word or another word processor to do my initial work.

If there is a better forum for this question, mods -- please move.

I always seem to notice a glaring typo at 1 hour and 1 minute past :(

the next morning!

... one hour is what I recall him saying. That said, I've noticed an occasional 'glitch' (about once or twice a month) where an attempt to edit immediately after posting is met with a 'time expired' refusal. I don't know whether there's a time-of-day pattern to such glitches or not.

As DU's foremost edit-after-posting member, I tend to regard myself as an ex-spurt on this. :silly:


Edit: Corrected 'immediately' typo.

Thanks for the information.

But I believe it starts from when you originally make the post.

on the subway. Did you take it?

I have one small problem with my journal that I'd like to air somewhere.

a LOT, so they just want you to email them with questions now :)

It was in the NY Metro like a year and a half ago. But thanks for the comment :hi:

not that important.

Might as well air it here. Here's the problem:

When posting a message to a forum, you are able to choose whether emoticons are ENABLED or NOT. However, if you move that message to your journal, emoticons are ALWAYS ENABLED.

This came up while posting :P in a review. In the original post, I chose DO NOT ENABLE EMOTICONS.

However, when I posted it in my journal, it was immediately changed it to an emoticon -- a happy face with tongue sticking out! Moderator and DUer Call Me Wesley told me there was nothing that could be done about it.

I wonder if others have had the problem. Of course, if I had seen it soon enough, I would have corrected it.

In peace,
