Editing and Deleting Your Own Posts?

[aspen]

How do I edit or delete a post I made? I searched the FAQ section and it says to click on EDIT next to post which is not there. It has on my rules that I am able to edit/delete.

I notice on this post there is an edit. But not on the post I want to edit.

you only have ten mins after you make a post to edit it I think ASpen. Otherwise a mod in that section may be asked if they'd edit for you.

Thats because it is within the last 5 minutes...within that time from posting a post you can edit or delete it, but once it's been longer than that they are no longer allowed to be deleted, incase someone did that, and there'd been replies to it etc, the whole thread would'nt make sense, so there's a time limit.

edit: there you go... 10minutes then

You cannot delete or edit posts that are older than 10 minutes.

this is sort of related, i didnt want to start another thread but i have a question: what are the size limits when it comes to posting images?, one of my posts was edited yesterday and the mod left me a rather aggresive note that said 'you need to resize the picture!' but it wasnt even stretching out the page, it was a HUGE closeup but not HUGE photo, which makes a difference when having a hint of criteria.

I'll try and find out for you Mulletproof

thank you, hanne!

[Hanne]

arghh..I typed out a neat reply and the net swallowed it up

So here we go again

I took your question up with the other mods and there currently isn't a size limit per se but there should be, because sceen sizes vary and what might look perfectly okay on a widescreen might mess up the format for somebody on an old pc, which is also the only explanation I can give you for why your image was removed.

Safe to say if your image is no wider than 800 pixels you're okay.
I'll ask Andy to set the limit, and get back to you

oh, thank you for the information, hanne!.
the image is 541 (left-right) x 816 (top-bottom) .

[Andy R]

I just looked at the settings and the limit is 1600x1600 pixels with a max of 512000 bytes.

thanks andy!.
