Hi Wildman;

You can only edit a post within the first 15 minutes of posting it. To edit, just go to your post and on the right side you'll see 3 little red tabs. The one on the left looks like a pencil and you just click on it, that should open the post and you can edit away.

Hope this helps.

Correct! You can edit, but there is a time limit. This is to avoid a problem we've had in the past where people go back and edit old messages, making subsequent replies confusing or irrelevant. The best thing of course is to review and edit before you Submit a post. But in the event you notice an error right away, there is a brief time to make the necessary changes.

15 minutes is too short. It's not nearly enough time to find and edit all your spelling and grammar mistakes. How about 30 minutes?
