    Editing posts

    Anyone know why I can't edit my posts? I see nothing to click on to do that.


    Ok, now that I've posted this, I can edit this one, but when I post in General Ball Pythons, it won't let me...???

    There is a time limit on it and as soon as someone else posts you cannot edit.

    We work on the philosophy "you typed it you own it"

    But you do get ten minutes to edit out any rule breaches, spelling mistakes etc.

    It was a bit frustrating for me at first because the only other forum that I participate in which had the shortest time window at the time was an hour. And I thought THAT was short.

    I'm not complaining. It's just that I use an iPad and when I post pics I have to use the edit feature, so the clock is ticking. And I go through Tapatalk. Things don't always go as smoothly as planned.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    0.1 Normal Ball Python, Elvira, 2001

    Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

    Ok, thanks everyone.

    I would probably never edit for content, only for spelling, punctuation and grammar. I have a journalism degree and I can't tell you how much it bugs me to go back and read a post that was scribbled in haste on my phone and see errors!!
