I don't remember totally how JD set up the forum software, but usually, you have only a limited time window for editing. Most forums don't allow unlimited editing for fear of somebody rewriting history. Let's let JD weigh in on this. The build threads are a special case.

I would think most folks could update their build threads. Seems like guys do it all the time to update their first post with all their updates.

thanks!

it had been a few days since i'd changed anything...... could be enough time passed that the edit feature dropped like the roadie mentioned.
although........ i'm sure there are members that go weeks or months before an update.
could it be because of my post count? ......not a member yet, still a cruiser.

Sorry about that. I had tweaked some of the variables and didn't think about the build threads. Should be good to go now.

Thanks for bringing this up.
