pgk Posted August 4, 2022 Share #2 Posted August 4, 2022 There is a time limit. For a period there is an 'edit' button which disappears after a short time. This means that my typos are there for evver🤔. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted August 4, 2022 Share #8 Posted August 4, 2022 I've been able to make corrections much later. I wondered if it depends on how many later posts there have been Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means that my typos are there for evver🤔. The correct answer is „60 minutes“. This is the time span in which you can edit your own posts. After that you can contact us to make corrections – but only in important cases Andreas 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I learned early in my career as a writer and journalist is the difficulty of proofreading something that you have just written, particularly if you are under time pressure. You tend to see what you thought you'd written rather than what you did write. One highly-experienced copy editor recommended that newly written text should be put into a drawer for 24 hours before being proofread. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted August 5, 2022 Share #12 Posted August 5, 2022 True, but we are not talking about 100 page reports here. There is the potential for chaos if posts were editable indefinitely. If a genuine error / mistake has been made, a Mod can edit older posts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted August 5, 2022 Share #13 Posted August 5, 2022 The writer's intent is normally pretty clear to understand even if there are a few typos within their text so it's usually a good idea to make considerable allowances where typos are concerned for precisely the reason roydonian highlights in post #11.

andybarton Posted August 5, 2022 Share #14 Posted August 5, 2022 It's not the typos that's the real issue, here though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have often posted photos that I took on the same day and I thought they were great. But when I see them again the next day, I realize that the editing is lousy and the picture really embarrasses me. It makes me regret not waiting a day to post it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M11 for me Posted August 5, 2022 Share #17 Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) I have a suggestion: First: For me its fully ok that there is that 1 hour to make changes. But it upsets me when I see a text mistake and I correct it that immediately the post is marked as "changed". My suggestion is now to allow changes within 10 minutes without being stamped as changed . . . .
