I can no longer edit a thread i posted a little over a year ago. Is there a time limit? If so, is there a workaround?
It's for my thread "A Question for Vance Wood." As new information is revealed concerning the Mugo pine, I want to add it to the list in my original post. Now I am unable to do that, and readers will have to scour the thread, and other threads, for additional info. :/Why would you want to edit a post of 1 year ago??
You can always quote and add something if you want
???The answer is at 1:08:
You can reply to that original post of yours OR you can, for example, highlight the list you have earlier in the thiread, then hover your cursor over that and click the reply flag that magically appears when you do that. Then add you new stuff in the new post that has everything in one place. EZPZ.It's for my thread "A Question for Vance Wood."

Actually it is much the opposite. When a post shows in the new posts list, clicking that item takes the viewer to the first post since they last read that thread (or marked all posts read). Users that actively read the thread will be taken automatically to the latest post.I understand all that, but that puts the info at the back of the thread. It's much easier for readers to pull up the thread, and read the post with edits, instead of having to search through the whole thread looking for updates. I understand there's nothing to be done about it, but it's frustrating. Anyhoo...

Up there on the menu bar ...
A little button labelled 'New Posts'.
Click it.
