I made a great custom PC building post, that would provide much help to people wanting to build PCs. The problem is i was going to update the post with user-information to improve upon the post and create a great resource for custom PCs builders. As time went on, the better and more useful the post would get. I created 6 or 7 different categories, and i need to add info to them whenever users posted help. But now, since, i guess, there is a edit time restriction on his forum, i cannot keep updating and imprvoing upon a post that would be of such great use to the custom PC building members on TSG. i am pretty upset, because i had high intentions for the post and now the post will fail. Please, if there is anything you mods, or admin coul;d do about this that would be great, not just to me but the other members.

Yep, that's by design. You have a certain time to edit a post, 24 hours. From our FAQ:

You may edit and delete your posts, but we have implemented some some limitations: (1) you have only 24 hours to edit or delete a post before it becomes permanent, and (2) you may not delete the first post of a thread, as this may effectively delete another user's post.

To edit or delete your posts, click the button by the post you want to edit.

After you have made your modifications, a note may appear, which notifies other users that you have edited your post. Administrators and moderators may also edit your messages if you post something that violates a rule.

. so theres nothin u or anyone else can do to allow me to update my post?

[JohnWill]

Nope, not with the present configuration.

If there's a specific reason to edit a post, a moderator or administrator can edit it for you.

Why not post a reply in your own thread?

[sockerdudex]

because members would have to hunt for that post and accumulate the knowledge by themselves on their own time and might miss something or not properly put everything together

[iltos]

how often did you anticpate updating the original post?

you could just repost the original, in updated form, once a week or month or whatever.....your last post would always be the lastest version of the original.
