    There is a five minute time limit on editing all posts. (Actually, it's been increased from 3 minutes, so don't knock it), as per forum rules.

    Applies to everyone, and all post, except Admins, I guess. They had a lot of trouble with lamers editing posts and denying they said whatever they said, apparently.

    The reson you cannot PM ( iirc and I may not have ) is that you can only PM when you have reached 100 posts ( now that doesnt mean spam the forum until you reach 100 ) reason behind this to stop new members only joining to PM members to come to their forum ( poaching ).

    Upload attachemnts you should be able to do, so long as they are within a certain size ( under 100kb if memory serves )

    and the other bit on Edit as Phantom said.

    thanks for your help so far but its more than just mis-haps because you no that box at the bottom of your screen that is labeled posting rules this is what mine says: Posting Rules
    You may post new threads
    You may post replies
    You may not post attachments
    You may not edit your posts

    so someone actualy made my user unable to do the last 2. when i first joined i was able to do all four things on the list.

    Due to some of your activities in various forums you have been added to a user group with restricted permissions. If you demonstrate a consistent ability to abide by our guidelines (no profanity, no rudeness and disrespect toward mods/admins, no offering or encouraging of illegal software keys, hacks, cracks...etc.) the restrictions could be lifted in the future.

    As previously stated, if you demonstrate a consistent ability to abide by the forum guidelines the restrictions could be lifted. :) This of course won't happen over night so as long as you are patient and don't cross the lines I mentioned in my previous reply all will be 'normal' when it's deemed appropriate.
