Report Post is coming back in a future update.

Rate Post is being reevaluated.  We have some better ideas.

Edit I'm unsure of, I'll have to check.

Yeah, noticed this morning that the Edit button was gone - sure hope that one comes back.

Edit: Oops, for some reason, the Edit button showed up for this reply, but it's been missing from my other replies all morning. :SURPRISED:

I asked about the edit button at lunch today... here's the scoop...

You can only edit a post if...

  1. Your post is the last one in the thread.  If someone posts after you, you can no longer edit.
  2. It is less than 10min since you made the post.  This gives you a window of time to correct typos, major errors etc.

This is to prevent people from going back and revising history.  Editing a nasty comment then later claiming that they never said something.

Correct.  I meant to refer to post replies there.

Earlier, in the Community Section, I did not have an Edit button immediately after posting my reply & the next reply was not till 25 minutes later. That seems to fall outside those rules. Just FYI.

This has been the case for some years, however if there's a legitimate reason for wanting an edit let me know....and it can be done for you.

'Legitimate reason' would be to correct 'dangerous' information posted in error....like "format C will not wipe your harddrive...just do it" ....;)
