Editing old posts

Wasn't sure where to put this post - so I put it here.

I've just been made aware that I am leaving a trail of myself over the internet - so want I want to do is edit posts where I have mentioned my name.

Since the posts I have left in this forum are old - has the editing facility been disabled on these? Any way to get around it?

Thanks for your help.

 

There's a time limit of 10 minutes, I believe, to edit posts, so the only way would be to get a mod or admin to do this for you. Hope that helps.

 

Given the backup techniques most IT depts practice there ought to be a saying...

The internet never forgets.

I can't speak for the forums here, but given the occasional arguements that break out between people the lack of ability to change the record is a good thing, one I wish we could hold polititions too.

Back when 1 Meg cost over a $1 data was routinely distroyed, now that 1Gig is under a $1 it is easier to keep it, who knows what might happen if you loose it?

 

Cool!

I'm so used to opening mouth and inserting foot I don't bother to hide it. I just keep the chewing to a minimum.

 

Thank-you very much Halo for your help with this.

It is much appreciated.

 

Hi

 

I'm new here and wanted to revise a post I made about a company I work with for clarification. Would it be possible to edit/delete that post? Thank you for your help!

 

Welcome to MGs, badnad and lithium
Before submitting your post and making it permanent, you could always preview your post by clicking the 'Preview Post' button next to the 'Submit Reply' button. This allows you to see how your post would look when submitted and has an unlimited amount of time to edit your text/graphics as required. Works for me. After you submit your reply, you then have a further ten minutes to work on it if need be.
Hope this can be of use to you. It helps me out a lot.
See you both around, I hope.

EDIT: Don't know why I wrote that. It's not what you enquired about, is it? That's me all over, skimming and not reading posts properly. Oh, well, too late, it's submitted now. How do I delete crap posts before the ten minutes run out?

 

Thank you for your replies! However, I can't PM moderators because I have 50 or under posts. Is there another way to get in touch with them about this (excluding posting what needs to be edited in this thread)?
