Exclamation Can't go back and edit a post - HELP!!!

Hi folks,

I maintain two "list-of..." posts as follows:

1) List of 997 reviews: https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...l-reviews.html

2) Bay Area Driving Roads: https://rennlist.com/forums/west-us-...ing-blast.html

As new updates come in (e.g. new 997 reviews, or someone recommends a new Bay Area road to drive on), I go back and edit the top posts in the above, and add to the respective lists.

Today I wanted to add some new 997 reviews, but I can't edit the top post of either of the above anymore - the edit button isn't available on the top-post of either of those threads (it is available on other more recent threads/posts).

Admins/Moderators - Help!!!

Thanks.

Karl.

Hi @Robb M.,

Can you advise on this one?

I've been able to update them for nearly the past 5 years, but things just recently changed and I can't add to them anymore.

Thanks.

Karl.

Hi - I'm trying to edit a post as well. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

edit

OK - I can edit this one because an edit button shows up. Not on my old posts though...

Hi @Robb M. & other @Admin,

Can you comment/advise on this new restriction?

I've been able to update the above posts - one for just shy of 5 years, the other for 4.5 years.

But then something changed last month (January) and I can no longer update them.

Thanks.

Karl.

After a member defaced all of their content and after much discussion limits were added to prevent such occurrences in the future. The limit for members is 45 days. For folks who have been long-time caretakers of specific threads we will address on an individual basis. wjk I'll PM you. @jasper please send me a PM with a link to what you've been curating.

cheers,
robb

you have a full two days to make corrections. paid members can adjust thing for 45 days on account of their marketplace access.

I do find this restriction quite dubious, it would almost certainly contravene GDPR (European privacy rules), not sure whether something similar applies in the US

I would like to edit an old post to remove a photo, but I can't do so

Can I send in a request to a moderator to edit the post? If so how?

Can I get edit access for a 'part out' listing I had been updating with current inventory from time to time?

Edits are available for 45 days from the time the thread was created. You may use the triangle ‘report post’ icon to submit edit requests to the community team, or you can create a new listing. If asking the community team, please include full text replacement in your reported post body so no errors are transcribed.

cheers,
robb
