GreenTealael 25,430 Posted February 25, 2018 It appears that you can only edit posts it in a short window of time after creating them. If you are in the app on an Android at the top near a checked circle are three vertical dots which this a menu bar. I can't figure out how to delete anything yet.

Rachel1064 5 Posted February 25, 2018 Thank you, Tealael and Alex. Alex, would it be possible to remove the two hour time limit for editing posts? I was in a bad mood yesterday and I was running my mouth. I'd like to remove some of the things I said. 2 Walter.Sobchak and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People are very understanding about having a bad day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ylime 453 Posted May 18, 2018 Why isn't this possible. Thousands of other message boards let you edit or delete for an indefinite period of time. I fail to see the logic in limiting it to a specific window of time. 1 Bastian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigViffer 3,544 Posted May 18, 2018 This stems back to the big dust up a while ago. People were stirring up trouble, getting tons of reactions, then editing their posts to make themselves look like the victims. If the posts weren't quoted, then the original text was gone. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A few ruin it for the rest of us. Oh well, it makes sense that you can't delete or edit after 2 hours. It holds you accountable to not say something that you may not like the next day. 2 ProudGrammy and BigViffer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
