I can't seem to get in to edit stuff much of the time. In particular, my G19 sale thread is giving me fits. Any ideas?

Are you seeing the edit button on your posts?

I'm not either. I went to add a pic link to my EOW thread and don't see the EDIT button.

WAIT ..... I see it on this post. Weird. Does the EDIT button go away once someone has responded to the last post?

I wonder if it's time based ... you only see it for X minutes?

Correct. There's a time limit after which your post becomes non-editable.

The limit was supposed to be removed in the FSOT area, we'll check into it.

I am also running into the same issues. I wanted to display a (FULL) after my class was filled this morning, but I could not edit my main post. I just bumped it to full, but I sure do hate to give it an unnecessary bump. Especially since it is a full class.

I need to edit my G26 trade and mark it SOLD but I do not see the edit button either.

Thanks

Same same for me on the last few things I sold. I just had to bump them and asked in the post for the mods to mark it SOLD or delete it.

It's me again. Rich opened up fpr ordering so I was able to finally order my Shaggy. Can you mark my WTB add for one as found or sold or something?

Thanks

I know there is a time limit on posts where they become non-editable in certain forums, but it would be nice to be able to go back and edit posts in the Training Journals section. In my case, I'd like to go back and add goals/drills (as I think of them) to my first journal entry. Is this possible?

There is a substantial admin-side hassle to making those kinds of changes.

It's a journal. Why not just add a new post?

I can add a new post I suppose, I just thought it would be easier to reference a specific post instead of wading through the entries to find something. Not a big deal though. Thanks.

Can someone mark my C&D Pardus holster ad as SOLD please. I didn't want to bump it by posting, and it doesn't seem to give me the opportunity to change it to the nice red SOLD. Should it just Delete the thread? I just didn't know what to do.

Thanks,

Ted

Hey guys. What was the decision on editing posts in the FSOT forum? I have a few things I would like to mark SPF, but I can no longer edit the post. Do we just need to request that you guys change it? I'd hate to bump the post every time something sells.

Thanks.

Is there a reason to mark SPF? No one can post in your ad, so you can just edit the title to SOLD. If the status changes, you can just re-list it.

Meh, not really. It would save me from answering emails/PM's about the same items over and over again, but I think the items that would generate a lot of inquiries are already marked. I guess I was wondering if we had to ask for permission to edit the threads in the FSOT forum. I can just mark the title as sold once everything is gone. Thanks for the quick response.

There's no edit option for some reason, so I can't change the title.

I need help editing this thread (http://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?4357-F2S-Consulting-Rifle-Class-College-Station-TX-October-6-7) due to some changes in the class structure. If someone could shoot me a PM I'd reply with the corrected template.

Could a mod please edit my for sale thread (http://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?4444-G17-JM-Custom-Kydex-AIWB-Holster-%28RH%29) as sold?

In regards to marking a thread as closed, the Forum rules say "edit your original ad and change the title to reflect this." I edited the title to say *SPF*, but that doesn't show up in the main listing within the Non-Firearm section and can only be seen after someone has already clicked on the thread so I'm guessing that was not what I was supposed to do. Is there an option to change the "WTS:" prefix to "SOLD", or am I misinterpreting the directions?

Thanks.

Reply to your initial post.

So there is no way to edit the post.. as directed in the directions?

"Once you have sold the item you are selling or purchased the item you are buying, edit your original ad and change the title to reflect this. There is no reason to bring a SOLD item back to the top of the first page."

Perhaps these directions need to be updated?
