For some reason I am unable to edit my posts. When I try to edit some of my recent topics I get the following message:

You have not been given the permission(s) to access this page. You require the following rights to view this page: 'Edit/Delete Own Posts'. For a full list of permissions you have on this community, please visit your Personal Zone Permissions page.

I have looked at my permissons page in my personal zone and it appears that the administration as unchecked my ability to edit my post.

Please Advise

PD,

The edit option has been removed. Now you can edit for a grace period of approx. 15 mins after you have posted. Any more than that, and you'll get the message that you got, about not having permissions.

This rule was always there in the earlier forums. When QL changed to the eve platform, a lot of the interface changed. We came to know of this discrepancy when EE happened to remove two of her entire posts from a thread in GD even after a day of posting it. We did do something then to avoid this, but I guess it was not enough. We realised this only when Eagleandchild removed his post from the sticky thread. That's when TN stepped in and removed the right to edit with the help of EVE.

At the moment, a grace period of 15 mins exists. If its not working for you, please let us know, so we can approach EVE and sort this problem once and for all.

Thank you.

Is this true of all forums?

I can understand the need for this rule in Debate and GD (as has always been the case and needed so people can't edit after another's reply to change what was said).

I was just wondering if this still applies to the writing or literature forums? If it does, is it possible to extend the length of time one can edit a post (I have in my mind at least 30 minutes because sometimes you forget something or you have a flash of an idea about how something should change etc).

Just a thought.

Yes Aeras,

I think it applies for all forums, because its a universal edit for the whole platform. TN had asked about the grace period, and Airedale had said something to the effect of what you ask. If there are many who think 30 minutes is better as grace period, then it can be brought to TN's notice.

But it may take some time to come into effect. Hope that answers your query.

It answers it quite well.

Thanks for your expedient response.

I have changed the edit grace period to 30 minutes.
I am always open to feedback and suggestions.
Thanks for checking in on this.
Thanks, PD, for bringing up the topic, and also to Ananya and Aeras.

Thanks for responding to this.

Due to reasons that are beyond my control I am unable to get into my yahoo email account for the past three weeks. If anyone here has sent an email to me then I apologize for not beging able to respond. If anyone needs to email me from QL just send me a message via personal topic.

Yahoo has a new requirement that I must enter a new password and provide a mobile phone number so they may text me a message with a new password. I don't own a cell phone because I threw the one that I did own into my lake where it belongs. I will be changing my email in the future. Our pc at home is constipated and stove up with viruses of all varieties. I have been putting off getting it fixed.

Happy Halloween,

WEll I am having trouble here at QL with the Courtyard Marriot ad appear too often and taking control of the screen. It has reached intolerable proportions.

Yes, when I'm on favorite quotes, and have posted a quote and then click back on the favorite quoteations at the bottom of the screen I get sent to the Courtyard Marriot ad. Sometimes it won't let me back out and I have to leave the site and then come back on to Quoteland. It's not all the time, but a lot of the time. Anyone else?
