Re: Editing posts feature gone

change to the VM community website?

I have noticed when writing posts that the edit option is no longer there to modify a post after posting it, so mistakes or errors can not be rectified and the post is published with mistakes which can not be corrected, which means being careful with the typing and content and not to include any personal data.

I have to proof read prior to posting. I have also had one post that published and then auto deleted immediately.

Is this intentional and if so why has the edit option now removed?

The  response to posts can be  slow at times, however some good advice and info on some answers which is helpful.

    They could do it so if you have 100 post to have the edit option back

      Something like that would be a reasonable and proportionate approach to deal with any spamming problems. Removing the editing function for everyone is a sledgehammer solution to a nut-sized problem!

        It’s probably the only way it can be done with the bulletin software.

    ALF28  As I understand it the edit function for general users has been removed as it was being abused by spammers.
