    Question How do I edit posts and other things?

    I'm sure I am missing some important thread here.

    How does one edit his posts? I tend to (stupidly) notice errors after I post, how can I go back and edit my post to fix this?

    How can I change my profile picture from the current to a picture of me?


    Does this forum simply use bb code, is there a problem using HTML?

    Thanks for the help.

    Become a donating member.

    You can edit posts for a few minutes after posting without donating. Everything else requires a donation.

    Thank you Ice Age, is there a set amount? Perhaps a link to a thread discussing this?

    Any other benefits of being a donating member?

    Donation button at far right of header banner. There is a "special bonus"!

    I will have to wait until I am a little more able. But I will become "supporting" at some point here.

    Thanks for the help, I wonder what the bonus is.

    Have any donating members noticed that the Edit button appears on some, but not all of their posts? It seems as though it is random whether or not the button appears on my posts. Any thoughts?

    The edit button will not appear unless you are logged on and editing priviledges expire 15 days after the original post.

    It doesn't work for me. I'm logged on and don't see any edit button on my post of a few minutes ago. I just posted and noticed I left out a word and wanted to add it. I only joined a couple of days ago and have not donated to the forum yet.

    P.S. Strange. This one has an edit button. Why didn't the other one?

    This has worked this way since I joined. I have not ever donated (non-donating member status) and have only seen the edit button/option appear randomly and rarely.

    And just after posting, I saw now there is an edit button option. I guess the new software upgrade may have improved on this.

    Also , could someone explain the new tiers of the donation status ,i.e. "Donating" vs "Gold ".

    Getting lost is a way to find yourself.

    Mystery solved! My donating member status had expired. The thing that I thought odd was that I did not get any reminder that it was time to donate again to keep the edit privileges, did I miss the email? Perhaps some sort of automatic email could be built into a later upgrade of the site?

    Default Another odd problem...

    As mentioned, I just renewed my membership to Silver (whatever that means). As soon as I completed my donation I was no longer to able to access the Homepage while logged in .

    I can now go to the homepage as a guest, however once i enter my name and password I receive the following:


    Sarcasm the elf, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: ....



    Any thoughts?
