Can't Edit Thread

[Linear]

Hey, created a threah in the livebearer journal and edited it several times, however i now don't have an option to, can anyone help?
 
Thanks!

There is a time limit for editing. I'm not sure exactly how long that limit is, but one can only edit one's post for a few minutes before the option is removed. This makes it easier to keep track of what was originally stated, what questions need to be asked and answered, and make it easier for other readers to understand the flow of the thread. It just gets too confusing after a while.

The above pretty well sums it up.

Ah, sorry - thought there may be such a rule but thought it would be relaxed in the journal forums, better than sticking in updates as posts.
 
Thanks for explaining, sorry!

Actually, the adding updates as posts is exactly what the journal should look like, so that readers can see the process from beginning to end.

Sorry i'm just used to different forum structers, i can definatly see the positives. =]

No need to apologize. 
 
Not sure what other forums you're a part of, but here with fish tanks, we like to see the entire process over time.

Mainly software engineering (more fun than fish, promise!), so completely different there.
 
Thanks for the heads up.

As a professional software engineer for more than 30 years, I would have to disagree.

Bar my earlier sarcasm, it's definatly one of the more fun careers i'd have to argue, especially if you get in with a fantastic company.
