Edit Your Post

Once a thread has been posted, you may find that you need to go back in and make a quick change (those pesky typos that you see only AFTER you hit the Post button come to mind). You can make these changes for up to an hour after the post is submitted. After that timeframe, please click the Flag option and leave a note about the changes you would like made

Navigate to the post you would like to edit

Click the ellipse (3 dots) at the upper right corner of your post (this will only be available for a post you have submitted)
