**Important Update. See here: [GBFans.com](http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=153440#p153440)** The edit feature is no longer available on posts that were posted 60 minutes ago or later. When creating a topic, choose the subject carefully. This will be the subject of that the topic will have if you do not change it within 60 minutes. Also when making a post proof read it as you will have 60 minutes until you cannot edit it again. I know this will cause some issues on forums and I will try to fix it for those cases. (Namely the For Sale forum). If this doesn’t work out, I might change it back.. ---

I don’t particularly see the point of this. Why would you feel the need to limit how long a person can edit a post? ---

I’m gonna be so screwed the next time I post a fan fic–I’ve been updating the thread title and a link in the first post every time I put up a new story. I guess I’ll just have to get Ben to edit it like I had to do on GBCentral. :lol: ---

> [@AJ Quick](#): > > You have 60 minutes to fix any mistakes. > > If you want to post updates you can click reply. Yeah but than we can’t update the main topic. For example, let’s say the topic is, “For sale, [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) for $2000”. Than we can’t change it to, “For sale, proton pack for $1500 (new price)” Or something like this, “Pictures of [the Ectomobile](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/ectomobile)!”. We can’t change it to “Pictures of the Ectomobile (new added pics!)” Or “Pictures of the Ectomobile (updated 8-17-09)” ---

> [@nick-a-tron](#): > > i miss the edit button already ☹ Me too however I can see where it can be useful as people are held accountable for their posts (wording) and can’t go back and change it once they realize how…(Edit)…it was. It is a bit of a pain for interest list updating though but I guess it’s workable. ---

I’m working on making it so you can edit For Sale posts. Perhaps there will be an option that will allow you to edit the first post of a topic as well. [Next page](https://forum.gbfans.com/t/no-more-post-editing-important-update/25651.md?page=2)
