Can we please have permanent editing of first posts like other forums?

Isn't it sad when they beg?

Isn't it sad when this place is stuck in 2006?

No we will not give one forum area privledges or changed over another

you should change it as a whole. people can see that stuff is edited, google does regular mirrors of the cache, so stuff is never lost. but it is a rather normal thing of convenience to fix and edit posts after the fact.

I just started a very thorough series that would cover a wide range of topics, over several forum sections and over several posts, with regular updates, edits and changes. i would have made a very nice set of well connected posts, but then I learned that posts are only editable for 12 hours and now I really don't want to do the whole series anymore. Not here at least.

Please reconsider the settings and join the rest of the editable world in the 21st century of electronic data entry.

Check out the Thread-Series I started by clicking the image in my signature below; it will take you to the Journal & Link Hub, from where you can access all the different threads... soon to be dead ends... it is in your hands to change that, to kill something great in it's cradle, or fight for what is right and allow great things to grow!

The short is we've always had an editing time line since we began and that's what's stuck We aren't changing it

Translation: It's how it's always been and although there is a better way we aren't changing it and not telling why so ner ner.

Lame.
