Approx. 30 days Timeline to Edit Post
As I understand it, RCU has a set time line in which users can edit their post. This limit takes place approximately one month after the post in submitted.
I am the author of a stickied thread in the Boating - Speed Electric forum on RCU. This thread is very informative and has aided several RCU members / non-members. The issue is I am no longer able to edit this post. Additional information can be added as well as old information must be updated.
I’ve seen in other forums that admins have given a user the ability to edit and also moderate a specific thread. That would be one they have created similar to mine. Could this be made possible by chance? Or could it be possible for me to have access to edit my thread without this restricted time limit?
Thanks
Ryan

RE: Approx. 30 days Timeline to Edit Post
Ryan,
I'm not sure what thread or threads you are referring to, but that's not the case. There is no way in the RCU system for a user to be able to edit their post after the system has locked it. The only way a thread can be changed after that is by a Moderator for that forum, a Community Moderator, or and Administrator to make the changes in the thread. There are many threads on RCU that are similar to yours where the member simply submits the needed changes to the moderator for that forum and they make the changes for them. I would suggest that this may be the best solution for you here as well. Justaddwatta and Dreaminhemi are the two Moderators for the Boat Forums. Send the changes to your thread to them and they will be able to take care of it for you.
