    FAQ tells of an edit button. There seem to be some four reply buttons; but I do not find the edit button. What have I overlooked?

    Post!

    :smile: joec when you submit a post, check the panel bottom right next to "QUOTE" left hand side, it will say "EDIT" edit then save OK.


    Just as an after thought, when you reply or just post, you can preview the post before you submit but if you still need to edit, you will still have a while to do that, don't forget to save or the edit will not go through.

    :eek: I am sure I have this right but no doubt if am wrong I will be told :o

    Jack (and others), I see "post reply" below left side of box. I see 'reply with quote', 'multi-quote' and 'instant reply' in lower right corner. But I do not see "edit" button.

    What am I still missing?

    Edit!

    A Little bit of Language Training here joec!
    The Very Word EDIT, is the clue, Edit means to alter/add/delete something you have already sent. The edit icon will only show after you have sent the post.
    When you have sent the post, look to the bottom right hand of the post and there you will see "EDIT" it is there for some time, after this period and I am not sure how long it will disappear and the post remains. It appears on the orange (to me it's orange) Post panel, not the post set up page.

    Hope this helps a little more my friend :wink:
