Default Can't edit post..

When I click on "edit post" on a thread in the swap shop, none of the text shows up in the "edit" window...

But it works fine here....


What am I missing ?

You can only edit a post for 48 hrs after it is posted. Not sure if that is possibly the issue

Nope..

I was trying to edit it immediately after posting it..
Strange though, I replied to my own post and can edit that one no problem. But if I tried to edit my first one none of the text would show up in the edit window.
Ended up having to delete it and start over....


Thanks for the reply...


Doug

Also noticed we cannot delete a thread we started. If the new policy of OSO is we cannot edit or delete what we post, I'm canceling my membership and closing my account this Friday. Anyone else know how to make edits or deletions?

I've been a member and regular OSO user since the early 2000s. Would hate to wave goodbye, but this is not going to work.

This has been in effect for over 5 years and happened with a software upgrade.
Thus the reason why there is a sticky at the top of the Swap Shop that was posted on 4-06-2011.

You can edit a post for up to 72 hrs. After that you need to request a Mod do it. We probably accommodate 99.9% of requests.

Didn't realize it was a software issue from the designer. Thought it was a corporate decision by IB
