[wizza33]

I'v just started a new thread in the forums and posted it. Now I realize I need to remove one of the pics. How do I edit my post? I cant fine an edit button or anything

Cheers
Jon.

You only get a 15 minutes (I believe) after posting to edit posts....after that they're cemented !

Your hallmarked pic will probably be removed anyway

I removed the 3 watermarked photos for you. In the future, if you need a post edited, you can follow
the instructions for reporting a bad post here: https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/faq...._new_faq_item2

I had no idea there was a time limit on editing/deleting posts, and to be honest it makes me a little uncomfortable about posting here.

The reason I say this is because I just posted a rather lengthy reply to a post in the Non-Fiction section. I've already edited it once, but the more I think about it, the more I think I should edit it again to remove some statements I made that could potentially cause trouble if the wrong person were to come across it (however small the odds are). However, now it turns out I can't edit or even delete my post at all, without "reporting" my own post and waiting for a moderator.

If I do go down that road, are moderators going to be annoyed at my using the report function to make relatively minor edits to my own posts?

I'm also a lot less likely to post original content if I can't take it down at short notice. I mean, I understand it would be frustrating for people if something was removed, but surely that's better than scaring people off by making our posts pretty much permanent?

Any input from mods would be appreciated, they do a great job here.

I can assure you the wait would not be long and we would not be annoyed if you reported your post for editing purposes. At anytime if you would like a post edited or removed please do not hesitate to ask. We would also remove all related posts that may have quoted or mentioned your original post, to avoid confusion and to avoid any unwanted attention.

Thanks,
Slick

I should add, though, that you shouldn't post anything with the intention of only having it up temporarily and asking the Moderators to take it down. Obviously, if something comes up later, we are happy to remove it, but we've gotten into that circle too many times where people are purposely uploading and then requesting the removal of content over and over again, just because they get a momentary thrill from it being on the Internet but can't risk leaving it up permanently. That's not how our forum is intended to be used.

Thanks

Thanks guys, this is about the best answer I could have hoped for. I'll make sure I'm more certain of any content I post next time!

Alternatively, you can post in your "albums" and delete / edit those items at any time.
