Frequently users post a new topic and realize that they left something out or there was an error or something else was wrong with the post. As a result, they need to edit the post but they don't have an edit button. So the question is, how can the post be edited?

First of all, I'll explain the reason that there isn't an edit button. There is a small system glitch that causes a problem when members attempt to edit their own topics. Basically, the system can't properly adjust your hosting credits correctly when certain circumstances are present. Because this negatively affect most of the members in the forum, editing was turned off.

Second point at hand, will editing be turned back on? The answer to that is no. As long as the glitch continues, editing will remain off to prevent you hosting credits from being incorrectly adjusted.

So, how do you edit your topic. Well, here are the directions:

Step 1
    Go to your post an press the reply button:
    user posted image


    In your reply, simply state what you need to have fixed:
    user posted image


Step 2
    Click on the the report button:
    user posted image

    In your report message let the staff know what you need to have done:
    user posted image

    Then click the submit button:
    user posted image

Step 3
    Finally, a moderator will edit your post for you and make all the needed changes:
    user posted image

Hope this helps.
