Can I edit a post after posting it?

Question

Is that possible?

Steve Babiak · Answer

Once the "edit" period has lapsed, there should be an "update" link / button that will allow you to insert a limited amount of content toward the end of the post - but that content becomes somewhat independent of the rest of the post since a subsequent "quote" of that post would omit the update's content.

An alternative to using the "update" feature is to use the "quote" feature - that will append a new post to the topic thread and in that new post you can insert the alterations you feel necessary to express the original intent. Sometimes best to do this without too much time delay so that there aren't too many intervening posts between the original and the amended.

Yes. Click the "edit" link (the word edit) next to "vote".

Edit: Next to the date, next to "vote" ;)

Ah, that makes sense because I'm not seeing that edit button.  Thanks guys!

I believe you only have the ability to edit for 10 minutes after posting.
