I noticed I no longer can edit threads that I made the previous day. Could it be posible to please change that back?

I believe that was done for a reason, maybe an incentive to think before posting and /or think when reading replies. if there is a specific problem you need to talk to a mod as they can edit with proper justification.

Mac, the announcement was made at the top of each of the forums.

I think David would have absolutely lost it if Frankie would pull the post count thread:biggrinjester:

Contact one of the Mods or Admin if you need something.

We were somewhat concerned when one member came in and deleted a bunch of posts. This is our rationale- when you start it, it's your thread. Once a number of members have contributed to the thread, it becomes the community's thread, since most of the content is now being provided by someone other than the thread starter. That's not to say edits and deletes can't happen, but imagine for a moment if someone were to delete something like the "Raise Your Post Count" thread with 100,000 replies. We'd have to close the board ;)

Thanks for the quick reply. I admit I missed the announcement about editing and such. And for whats it worth, if the "Official Raise Your Post Count Thread" ever disappeared.........I would have been really, really pizzed off. Since I have contributed a great deal to that thread ;) Guess this will be a good thing after all :)

I would be upset, but I am sure there would be many others right there with me!

Let's face it, you would have blown a freakin' gasket, or a Seal...
Stick with the "it's just ice cream" alibi:biggrinjester:

Yea, you may be right. But then we would just have to start all over again! :sifone:

What reason would you have to edit yesterdays posts?

Seriously curious.
