To edit posts

[Jessica]

at the moment posting buttons such as edit does not work. so in order for you to edit your post, follow these directions

In the address bar, you'll see for each topic

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=133

each topic has a unique number after f= and t=. f indicates forum and t stands for topic.

Click on the post title (usually has a "Re:" before the topic title) if it's not the first post. if it is, click on the Topic title - has no Re:

Nothing will happen except in your address bar, it'll change to

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=133#p199 (this is an example)

the numbers after p represents the post

replace viewtopic.php? with posting.php?mode=edit&. Remove the t and the numbers after it AND the '#'. then add after the p a '='

so in the end, it should look something like this

Code: Select all

posting.php?mode=edit&f=2&p=199

so actually, you can just copy above and replace the 2 and 199 with the correct forum number and post number.

I know this seems complicated but it's not difficult once you get what to do. HOPEFULLY I will be able to fix the posting buttons problem.

If you are wondering about the delete and report button, they may not appear but if you hover your over where they normally would be you would see your mouse change to a hand. I have just discovered this and as far as I know, there are only three - Delete, Report this Post, and Information.

If you want to QUOTE a post, that's easy to do without a button.

Code: Select all

[quote="username"]Post that you want to quote[/quote]

A more complicated method:

Code: Select all

posting.php?mode=quote&f=2&p=199

Notice it's just like the code for editing but in place of 'edit' is 'quote'
